Are gun owners allowed to own plastic coke bottles? (NFA)

[sm]

Preacherman:

Nope - DEA. After all, coke is their business...

Yeah I thought I about that, however, what about the root beer ( granted slitting hairs with the 'beer' part) or any other "sodas". Not to mention, though I don't drink, I just thinks it's wrong to see fine "spirits" in plastic containers. I can see some fella using a "spirit" bottle for this and the alphabet agencies arguing over juridiction...

What is this world coming to? Gives me more respect for "moonshiners" of yore ( ?"ahem) , at least they made a honest living and not on dole...and the mason jars were glass.

I have used suppressors, not for any reason in particular, but to keep noise down for hearing ( one's own , other's) . Just how many "bad rashes of crime" have supressors been involved in?

IIRC the only case a "machine gun" used in a crime was that of a LEO many many years ago.

Gun Control and all these restrictions...phooey!

Why not just pay the tax and have some fun?

That'd be great..if they were legal in my state.

Why not just pay the tax and have some fun? $200 isn't what it was back in 1934 and its probably better than risking everything... 'sides that... Its THR way to do things

Its not the tax that I mind....well as much anyway. Its the fact that I (or anyone else) cannot possess such an item without the express permission of the "Chief Law Enforcement Officer" of my area. I have no idea if he would agree or not, but I am not about to go begging hat in hand for permission to pay $200 so I can own a threaded pipe. If it was "shall issue" unless they could prove that I was a convicted felon or diagnosed nutjob (likeCHL licenses) I would probably go ahead and do it because it would be fun to play with. As it is, I'll do without.....and just complain about it

If it mounts to the firearm and makes it quieter, it requires a tax stamp.

Bench-mounted items (like a row of tires or whatever) do not require a stamp.

SOF had an article about 20 years ago describing the plastic bottle silencer. They said it worked well .
