[QUOTE="LouBoyd, post: 591501, member: 9253"] And if you sell your suppressor you have to do another transfer though a class 3 FFL. The new buyer has to pay another $200 fee, do paperwork, and wait. The tax originated with the 1934 National Firearms Act supposedly to help fight organized crime. The purpose of the transfer tax was to cover the cost to the Federal goverment to do backround checks and the paperwork of keeping track of who owns suppressors and other NFA items. The price has not changed since the bill was passed. Effectively applying for an NFA transfer and paying the tax gives the BATF (which is part of the Treasury department) permission and obligation to do a background check into your affairs. If you don't want scrutiny, use earplugs. [/QUOTE]
