The Truth About NFA Weapons (And Whether They’re Worth All The Bureaucratic Trouble)
Image sourch: Truth About Guns
I’ve often heard it asked, “What’s the point in owning a ‘silencer’ if you’re not a criminal?” My tongue-in-cheek answer to this question is usually something along the lines of, “Because they’re just plain cool, and zombies have good hearing.”
So there.
Quite frankly, the choice to own an NFA item is one of personal enjoyment and novelty. And because shorty AR-15s tend to leave everyone’s ears ringing — even despite wearing adequate hearing protection — threading on a suppressor really does make for a more enjoyable time at the range. With that being said, I’ve also encountered another question, which I consider to be more valid …
“Is it even worth the time, money, and ridiculous bureaucracy to purchase an NFA item?”
What Items Are We Talking About?
Well, first off, I am NOT an attorney, but I have spent lots of time behind the sales counter in a class III gun shop. According to my knowledge and experience, let’s look at the facts. To begin, what makes the list as an NFA item?
- Automatic weapons
- Suppressors
- Short-barrel rifles (SBR)
- Short-barrel shotguns (SBS)
- Any other weapons (AOW) … such as umbrella guns … and other things you might find in a 1970s-era James Bond movie.
