[QUOTE="Idgunner, post: 2221545, member: 84194"] If a state LEO finds you with a suppressor nothing happens. If a fed finds you with one and no tax stamp you get cited and arrested. I can ask a gunsmith friend to see if those cases are being prosecuted in Fed court. My guess is they are. UPDATE. A man in Blackfoot Idaho drew attention to himself by making and selling suppressors to Idahoans. The feds found out and claimed that some of those suppressors made their way across state lines, he was charged. The Fed prosecutor declined to prosecute and dropped the case. His boss said "NO, you will prosecute" so the man has been re-charged and cited into fed court. That case is still pending. A similar thing happened in Kansas and that case was headed to the Supreme Court but Pres Trump made his comment that "no one needs a suppressor" so the SCOTUS declined to hear the case. As has been noted previously, buy the stamp. The Feds don't play well and a friend of mine whose spouse works in the fed court system says that "if you get cited into Fed court you are screwed." Until this makes it to the Supreme Court or the ATF does an about face and recognizes states rights we need to play by their rules. [/QUOTE]
