point one.. The ATF knows all about these and does not consider them to be a silencer/suppressor.
point two. "If you look at the ATF's own rulings, this must be considered a illegal. In the military, Shorty M16s come with a LOOONG flash supressor (like 5 inches)." not so, commercial versions have the long flash hider, barrel extgension, Military versions do not and the military is not bound by NFA regs. they want a 10" M16 and can get it to work, they can have it.
point three, even in rural Ohio, ignorant people call the sherriff for gunshots even when legal....How about those people getting fined for undue abuse of a 911 system. In the city, for game control and such i understand the need for this system, I have used this system, but out inthe country, too many moron think that peace and quiet and tranquility are the country way, not realizing that tractors, chainsaws and gunfire are a normal part of rural life.
My father in law finally sold his farm and moved after a subdivision was built on the preperty next to him and they SUED him and WON over him running his tractor a 5:30 am when he was cleaning out the horse barn. They also tried to sue him for damages from the ODOR of the horse manure in the waste pile. he won out by selling the farm to a young farmer who was part of a hog operation. Always wonder what those people think about 300,000 dollar houses with a hog farm inthe back yard.
