OK, I'm a new member, and new to the ar15 community. I keep finding to get silencers and other attachments you would need a class 2 license, but when i search online on how to get one they always talk about getting one to set up a dealer shop. Is there any way to get just an owners license instead of dealer's license? or do you just fill out the right paperwork whenever you go to purchase these attachments?

There is no license to own silencers, SBR's, machine guns, etc. There is a $200 transfer tax that you submit with your completed Form 4, which is an application for a tax paid transfer.

Not necessarily. I was a shooter but totally ignorant about class 3 stuff until about 8 or 9 years ago. I started paying attention near the end of the AWB.

Just people who take whatever random people at gun shows and shops tell them and run with it.

First time I ever asked anyone about how to legally own a machinegun I immediately got the "class 3 license" spiel... along with all kinds of other bullshit stuff that keeps getting repeated.

Thats probably it, another good one I heard was that .50 cal barretts blow up all the time.

To be fair, instead of a long explanation of a tax form, the stamp and why you need to keep it (or a copy) with the weapon - it is a LOT easier (if not 100%) accurate to explain it to a layperson in terms of the tax form actually being akin to a "license"

So I can see how that misunderstanding could easily happen.

Could be a gun control troll, or it could actually be a legit question.


We will never know.

...and yeah, I guess the tax form in a way could be considered a license, but it does stir up some confusion.

So the class 3 is obvious bullshit but the class 2 had ya stumped?
