Aldeer.com Forums Alabama Deer Talk Guns N Gear Suppressors/ Silencers??

I call TOTAL BULLSHIT on this. TOTAL ABSOLUTE BULLSHIT! To own a Class 3 item you pay for it first. Centerfire rifle suppressors start at around $500 and go above $3000. PAID UP FRONT while your Class 3 dealer keeps your suppressor locked in his safe. Then you make out a check for $200 to the Dept of Justice and send that with 2 copies of the Form 4 to the Dept of Justice while your dealer locks the suppressor up in his safe. The ATF cashes your $200 check and puts your Form 4 in an already backed up stack of Form 4s. When your Form 4 gets it's chance to be "looked at" the examiner submits your info from the Form 4 to the FBI for an extensive background check. 2 to 3 months have passed and your dealer still has your suppressor locked in his safe. If you pass the background check they approve the Form 4 and mail it to the dealer who has your suppressor locked in his safe and he will contact you to come get it. Total time elapsed is currently running 6 to 7 months for the scenario I just laid out.

Now, convince me that a man that has spent at least $700 (and probably closer to $1500)and a 6-7 month wait while being cleared by the FBI is gonna run out and start poaching......I say again.....BULLSHIT! Poachers are gonna do their dirty work with whatever weapon they choose but I'd have to have proof that somebody went thru the lengthy, expensive legal process to obtain a suppressor and then used it for poaching....

I'd like to see a printed report of an arrest in Alabama where an offender was busted using a suppressor when poaching..........post 'em if you got 'em......
