Sharpshooter
Ok...I foolishly got myself into this ridiculous youtube comment debate ( )
YouTube - potato silencer - the video in question
I am ChrisInIndy06 on there and was just curious what would happen with this if the BAFTE actually felt like tracking these morons down.
To me it seems like a pretty cut and dry case as the law states that any device that is used with the intention of altering or reducing the report of a gunshot is classified as a suppressor. Whether or not this potato actually reduces the report is debatable, but that's not what the law is about - it states if the INTENT of the device is to reduce/muffle, then it is a suppressor. I know that some of you guys talk about "intent" if you have an AR15 pistol and a buttstock nearby, and how that could be considered intent to create an SBR which is bye-bye Federal Pen time...would the same thing potentially apply here? Fatty's intent is pretty clear when he says "POTATO SILENCER!!!!"
Who is right here?
