Dave, I have posted this numerous times now. The BATF does not care whether you own a gun or not. The silencer is the controlled item. It is illegal (that means there is a law against it) to manufacture or own a silencer if you have not paid the $200 fee to license it. A silencer has to be licensed to be legal. It does not have to be mounted on a gun or a paintball marker to be illegal. If it is not licensed it is illegal. If you own no guns or markers but you still own an un-licensed silencer you are subject to arrest for possessing an illegal devise! Man, I cannot say it any clearer. The LAW says the silencer is the controlled devise. Not the gun, the silencer!

 

OF COURSE THE GOVERNMENT CARES!   Read the law and understand it first.  Lemme ask you, does the BATF make car silencers or motorcycle silencers illegal??  they dont care if its not a gun right?  all silencers are illegal..   thats the stupidest thing ive ever herd!  "the BATF doesnt care".

Ask anyone from BATF or anyone that has common sense.   BATF controls laws about ALCOHOL, TOBACCO and FIREARMS!  A marker doesnt fit the description of a gun, therefor they dont make the laws about it.  DURR.  The law is saying that specific silencers can be used on a real gun, especially universal ones.. If a silencer is ment for a specific paintball marker and a specific barrel size ment for .68 caliber paintballs, its not legal... However if its an attachment that just clamps on to the end of a current, already attached barrel, you can use it on a normal gun, making it a firearm silencer, making it illegal.

You do not need to pay 200$ for a silencer, you need to pay 200$ to get a license to MANUFACTURE it.

You are not "subject to arrest" till you have used it.  If they find it in your possesion they can take it away, thats the extent of it.

Here are some quotes from the BATF themselves:

The term "firearm" means (A) any weapon (including a starter gun) which will or is designed to or may readily be converted to expel a projectile by the action of an explosive; (B) the frame or receiver of any such weapon; (C) any firearm muffler or firearm silencer; or (D) any destructive device. Such term does not include an antique firearm.

The term "manufacturer" means any person engaged in the business of manufacturing firearms or ammunition for purposes of sale or distribution; and the term "licensed manufacturer" means any such person licensed under the provisions of this chapter.

The terms "firearm silencer" and "firearm muffler" mean any device for silencing, muffling, or diminishing the report of a portable firearm, including any combination of parts, designed or redesigned, and intended for use in assembling or fabricating a firearm silencer or firearm muffler, and any part intended only for use in such assembly or fabrication.

Rifles, carbines, revolvers, and pistols, to caliber .50 inclusive, combat shotguns, and shotguns with barrels less than 18 inches in length are included under Category I(a). Machineguns, submachineguns, machine pistols and fully automatic rifles to caliber .50 inclusive are included under Category I(b).

(Would you look at that, ammunition over .5 caliber is illegal!  Does this mean that paintballs (.68 caliber) are illegal??  NO!  A paintball isnt considered ammunition because a paintball gun isnt really a firearm therefor it is not controlled by the BATF)

Go to http://www.atf.treas.gov/pub/fire-explo_pub/complete.htm and see for yourself

 

P.S. do a search on "paintball".  NOTHING shows up.  In the list of laws that the BATF has about firearms, NOTHING shows up about the word paintball... what does that tell you?  The answer isn't nothing.

Where are you located? Canada, Australia? Certainly can't be in the US? We do not register our guns here in the US with any federal government agency. The BATF controls some items such as fully automatic weapons, Explosives/destructive devises and silencers. And even then, if you pay the registration/licensing fees, then you can own such items. Ya see, Dave, BATF is there to regulate criminal activities. Not harass law abiding citizens who have paid their licensing fees. Now if you own a silencer and haven't paid your licensing fees, you are no longer a law abiding citizen. LMAO  see how stupid you are.  You claim u own a gun store?? lmao.  Fully auto/burst fire or ANY kind of mode which the gun shoots itself is illegal.  ONLY Semi auto is legal, and ONLY pump action shotguns are legal.  Dude, stop pulling stuff out of ur but. Dave, I thought this argument was completed, but it appears to be stuck in your craw. Again I'll hit you with the facts. Any citizen of the U.S., who has no criminal record, may own a  machine gun IF HE PAYS THE LICENSING FEES TO THE BATF and has no suspicious activity uncovered in the intense background check done by the BATF when the application to buy the firearm is placed with them. The fee paid is there to cover the cost of the background check. Semi-auto shotguns, not just pump guns, are extensively used in the US, both for hunting and skeet and trap competition...and require no federal licensing or registration. Dave, you are an asinine little twit who cannot even recognize when his b**t has been kicked six ways from Sunday. This is a dead subject with every rebuttal to your point of view backed up with documentation from Federal regulations and links to those information sites. One last point, one more time, silencers are illegal (home made or otherwise) unless registered and licensed with the BATF. Possession of an unregistered one, whether you own a firearm or a paintball marker or not, is illegal.

you beat me to it. i was gonna say the semi auto shotgun part.

Im here to prove to the general public that silencers are legal, firearm silencers are illegal and paintball guns arn't silencers.  Im back cause the topic is being brought up over and over again and ignorant morons like you say the same thing over and over again regardless of how many ways they have been proved wrong, go ahead and ban be, i dont care cause the only reason im being hostile is because of immature kids like you who think they know everything, and everyone else is below them.  This is a forum ment for discussion.. not people telling other people who it is.. so ether listen to what other people have to say and consider them, or get the heck off of any forum you might come across.  Just because u think that you are right doesnt always mean you are, just because its the first thing u heard doesnt mean its correct and just because everyone else is saying something, doesnt mean thats the way it really is.

how bout instead of repeating yourself over and over agian, say something new that goes against what i just said, for example try and go against the quotes i copied from the BATF website and tell me there fake or wrong or something.  Cause if that were the case, that would be the only way that would make paintball silencers/mufflers illegal.

I come onto these forums open minded and willing to discuss.  But kids like you are close minded and have 1 thing to say and thats it, you simply think that your above everyone, and you cant get it out of your head that being close minded like that simply makes you below everyone else (whom isn't close minded).

Lol machine guns are illegal to any normal citizin in the U.S.  Look it up in the link that i posted at the top of the page

dude, im friken 13 years old and am more mature than u. i dont like telling people my age cuase they may treat me dif, i wanna be treated with respect like i treat everyone else that treats me with respect.

if u dont care about bein baned why r u still here, this was over and everyone wouldnt of remembered, now its back and ur trin to prove other people wrong, instead of sayin "hey, u may be right, but i have some facts and links to dif sights that may profide u with more info explaining that a part of ur statement was wrong". that would be the mature way of saying it instead of tring to stick out and and try to prove that ur right. so what if ur right, u dont need to be a d*** about it.

nice eyes, i didnt even see that....is there a moderator in the house??
