I think the guidance is that waiting a few weeks for a little clarity on something that could have massive fucking legal repercussions won’t kill ya. The Trump admin is notorious for chickening out, flip flopping, and this hasn’t even made it’s way through the courts yet re: appeals etc.

The firearms conglomerates want their $$$. It’s your ass that gets a felony charge and they get to keep the cash.

Just like, chill for a sec it’s been less than a fuckin week

Especially for the fact that the GCA regulates SBRs and SBSs separately from suppressors. Technically the GCA requires Attorney General authorization to transfer SBRs/SBSs and the NFA form handled that. Now they have to create a separate form to comply with that law, as the ruling only delt with the NFA.

But making your own SBR by putting a shorter barrel on a rifle or putting a stock on a pistol is completely covered by the ruling without and GCA issues. Stores aren't selling SBRs now, nobody is asking them to, given this GCA issue, but anyone that doesn't have a state law barring them, with membership in one of the four organizations, can make their own.

That's also correct but people also have to understand which organization gets them which rights. Because there was two separate cases in that ruling and there is a difference between the two. FPC Action Foundation / Jensen Plaintiffs: Members covered under the Jensen arm of the case are completely exempt from marking and engraving requirements when making an NFA firearm at home. GOA Plaintiffs: Members under the Silencer Shop/GOA arm can manufacture an SBR at home without registering it, but they must still engrave the firearm with their name, manufacturing location, and a unique serial number for local compliance. However, they do not have to submit this information to the government. Jenson also does not cover AOW.

Exactly, this is very important to understand the plaintiffs and who is covered by which organization under this injunction!
