Can someone bring me up to speed on what's going on here? Are supressors a non-NFA item all of a sudden as long as they're manufactured and remain in Texas?

Someone would, but they’re preoccupied with Colin Kaepernick at the moment.

 Kansas tried this and look what happened for those two smucks.

Missouri is a sanctuary state, but they haven't given the government their Fleet drink yet, to be that much shit free.

If, I mean “IF”, I lived in Texas, I most likely would be making my own suppressors for personal use on private property. Not to sell, not to borrow out, and certainly not showing it off online.

Its not that the intention is bad, but the execution is shit, and republicans should well know better by now.  The states are not going to win against the federal gov on the commerce clause.  Far too much federal power is built on the commerce clause.  If a state were serious about it, they'd remove all references to anything NFA on a state law level, and tell the feds they are free to enforce federal law, but no state resources or employees will be used assist.

How can the thing the states constituted be more powerful than the entities which delegated it power?

That's because the Feds have guidelines for legalizing MJ.  They'll look the other way as long as the states follow their guidelines.

Of course there's a difference!

People would never just ignore federal gun laws and do what they want.

Right?

The theory behind the Texas law is that if the suppressor is made in Texas, is sold to a Texas resident, and stays in Texas, then there is no "interstate commerce" involved, and if there is no interstate commerce, then the federal government has no authority to regulate it.

BATF will shoot that theory down by showing that the materials the suppressor is made of were not made in Texas, therefor interstate commerce IS involved, and that the
Texas law isn't worth the paper it's printed on.

They will also appeal to it “affecting commerce”, which was indicated to me by someone who had a conversation with their lawyers.

If federal law trumps state law (as some leftists were saying), wouldn't it mean that any guns laws more restrictive than federal law would also be trumped?

Failing that they'll just rely on the age-old argument that since it's entirely intrastate commerce it removes demand from another product which is demonstrably interstate commerce - thus not participating in interstate commerce impacts interstate commerce and it counts as interstate commerce.

Really.

The Supreme Court basically rubber-stamped that absurd idea in Wickard v. Filburn.
