So, I suppose you could legally make your own suppressor, but you're not going to get around the ATF form or the $200 by going to the store and buying a suppressor.

I've always wondered why a suppressor manufactured in a state sold to a resident of the state had to get the NFA stamp. Seems like that's clearly intrastate commerce and no business of the feds. Glad to see this, maybe it'll help force the issue.

See Wickard v. Filburn for an explanation of how that is interstate commerce.

One of the most VILE SCOTUS decisions ever made, too; written by men who were installed by a socialist president.

By the time that the case reached the high court, eight out of the nine justices had been appointed by President Franklin Roosevelt, the architect of the New Deal legislation.

The SCOTUS interpretation of the Commerce Clause is a powerful argument for scrapping the whole shebang and starting over.
