One more and it's off to the Governor, I believe. This bill makes it legal in Texas to manufacture, transport, sell, buy, and possess a suppressor in the State of Texas so long as all the components were made in Texas.

ATF agents itching to bust down some doors

HB2622 should pass, as well, making it a class A misdemeanor for TX law enforcement officers to enforce federal gun laws, or assist federal agents in the enforcement of federal gun laws that aren't also Texas law.
So, ATF wants in, they're gonna have to do it all themselves.
Yes.I've always wondered what would happen in a situation like this, or a situation where it was both legal for citizens in a state to do something that the fedgov didn't agree with as well as have it illegal to enforce/arrest anyone for doing said legal thing.
As a citizen of that state, what would my thought process be, in a state where it is legal to do/own something and illegal to enforce anything in regards to that law on me, if the feds showed up and tried to arrest me?
Would the local cops literally be the cavalry in chasing the feds the fuck out? Is it by default then 'ok' to shoot at the feds trying to arrest me, as what they are doing is illegal and are then technically trying to kidnap me and take me out of the state not much different than a foreign entity would do?
This is quite the rabbit hole. I love it.
It's very likely to get signed. The bill's author seems to think the fed will not enforce much like they ignore states where weed is legal.Is it likely to get signed?
Didn't somebody in another state get nailed by feds for exactly this?
Has there been any update on the Constitutional Carry bill.One more and it's off to the Governor, I believe. This bill makes it legal in Texas to manufacture, transport, sell, buy, and possess a suppressor in the State of Texas so long as all the components were made in Texas.
Great news. Last I heard it was in committee. Thanks for the update.HB1927 "Constitutional Carry" passed out of special House/Senate Committee and should now pass both House and Senate votes early next week and be sent to Governor to be signed into law effective Sept 1. Great News!!!

It passed a few hours ago.Great news. Last I heard it was in committee. Thanks for the update.
One interesting aspect is that I think the language in the bill gives the AG authority to represent people in that case. I'm not 100% on that but a Democrat Senator against the bill was suggesting that Ken Paxton was gonna be his personal lawyer, and it's a slippery slope for that reasonI'm going to bet that it goes down much like Weed does except that the ATF will come knocking for anyone making a commercial business of it in a big way or really sticking their head up with a whole bunch of YouTube videos.
The average folks that just build them and use them will probably never have any issue.
Wish i hadnt just paid for another stamp. Who is Tx based that makes good cans?
Dunno. I suspect we'll start to see a flurry of suppressor plans so folks can just DIY.Wish i hadnt just paid for another stamp. Who is Tx based that makes good cans?

Going to be interesting how this plays out and I hope it sets a precedent for states' rights.
Sanctuary state for suppressors. Well, the door was opened by the hemp-heads. Bless their hearts!
Sirhr

While I totally support this bill, for me personally, I'll keep paying the tax stamps.
Montana passed that law like twelve years ago. End of the story is that the Feds don't like it, and neither do the courts.One more and it's off to the Governor, I believe.

I don't know if anybody did.The basis there is that those organizations put together a question for the courts that wasn't actually a question, and was kicked out for being dumb. But, also, things have changed a bit since then.
Did anyone in Montana ever end up in trouble over that?
The American 2nd amendment, 2nd prohibition repeals day celebration. Join us again this july 4th 2024 and make sure to bring your full auto and plenty of tracers..... has a nice ring to it i have to admit.
Ask the guys from Kansas how it turned out for them.
I wish the NFA would go away. Suppressors should be purchased anywhere by anybody. You want full auto? Have at it. SBR? Everybody should have a few and not be required to ask permission.

KS tried this a few years back. Didn’t work out for a guy who couldn’t keep his mouth shut on social media, or the guy that manufactured the suppresssor.
At least the penalty was minor because a merciful judge recognized the guys were operating in good faith believing they were following the law.
But as far as I remember no local LE or KS state officials stuck their neck out to fight the feds for this bill they passed.
So this means my POS Crux can is finally good for something?One more and it's off to the Governor, I believe. This bill makes it legal in Texas to manufacture, transport, sell, buy, and possess a suppressor in the State of Texas so long as all the components were made in Texas.
Yep, and Shiner is better.I enjoy Lonestar beer even though it’s no longer ” Texan”
I can't believe we got in trouble drinking that horse piss in high school. Or Pearl either. Loved the Pearl commercials though, showing the Hill Country. I came across a Pearl qt. bottle I kept as a kid because I liked the Country of 1100 Springs label. It's probably worth some money now.I enjoy Lonestar beer even though it’s no longer ” Texan”
Does it have "Made In Texas" stamped on it?So this means my POS Crux can is finally good for something?
Unless the TX legislature includes preemption language that makes it a crime for any LEO to interfere with a residents 2a rights the ATF will be on owners like a chubby German on doughnuts and expensive NV.I've always wondered what would happen in a situation like this, or a situation where it was both legal for citizens in a state to do something that the fedgov didn't agree with as well as have it illegal to enforce/arrest anyone for doing said legal thing.
