Does anyone know if any El Paso FFL is selling suppressors with only a 4473?

I've been to the larger dealers here, and so far, no one is doing so.

Why not?  At this point, it looks like DOJ is on our side to some extent for once.  They just filed an amicus brief (along with 39 others) for the AR-15 cases.  Literally the second time in history the DOJ has ever sided with plaintiffs in a gun control case (the first was last year).

They should appeal and they should go into the 5th District shrugging their shoulders and fall on their sword.  Then, when they lose, they could petition SCOTUS and get it in front of them and then there's a real chance that the NFA, or at least these four categories, could be removed from it for everyone, period.  That would also clear the way for the gray area states without having to slog it through their courts since the NFA would no longer exist for those items.  

If they don't, then the injunction just stays in place until something else happens to change it.

Missouri v. ATF was consolidated yesterday with Brown v. ATF, which was filed a year ago.  Not sure why Missouri opened a new case last week instead of joining the old case, but I guess it doesn't make much difference now.

If you remove the stigma of "the ATF is always out to fuck gun owners", it makes perfect sense that a Trump DOJ would see enforcement of the NFA against law abiding gun owners as a massive waste of resources.  Even with $200 stamps, you know good and well the ATF/DOJ was spending wayyyyy more money on processing the forms than they were taking in.  With zero revenue from tax collection, it is literally just another example of government waste.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall where someone at ATF tries to explain to the President why they need an entire department to process NFA applications and how that department leads to more effective law enforcement with actual tangible effects.  They exist only because of a fucked up regulatory framework that does jackshit to reduce crime and only creates a category of crime that is essentially unenforced.
Everything posted above is factual. Maybe.

No.

There's only two ways that happens.

1. is Congress repeals the NFA '34 and GCA '68 as it applies too suppressors, SBRs, SBSs and AOWs.  That will not happen by next month or ever.

2.  SCOTUS decision that the enjoined parts of the NFA '34 and the associated but not enjoined bits of the GCA '68 are unconstitutional.

To have (2) the case has to be appealed to the 5th Circuit.  Then if the government (or the plaintiffs) loses the appeal the government  (or the plaintiffs) has to ask SCOTUS for a writ of certiorari and SCOTUS has to agree to hear the case.*

So we want the government to appeal or this stays in this gray limbo of sort-of-and-sort-of-not where it applies to the plaintiffs and no one else - until another judge does something else.  Hypothetically, if the Brown v ATF judge issues an exact opposite mirror decision and that doesn't get appealed?

*A circuit split could do the same thing.  SCOTUS is far mor likely to hear the case if it's the government appealing.

Even before the NFA silencers were heavily regulated / banned at the local and state level as "silent killers" and "assassins' weapons".  As early as 1915.  And Maxim quit making them in 1930 due to the stigma.

The real "gangsters with tommy guns" period was during Prohibition (basically 1920-33).  And the original idea behind the NFA was to ban pistols.
