Why buy a suppressor now?

You’ve likely heard about the massive shifts in federal law following the Silencer Shop Foundation v. ATF ruling, but if you’re living in Washington, waiting for full deregulation could actually backfire.

Here is why securing your suppressor right now is the smartest move for Washington gun owners:

• Beat the Washington "Catch-22": Under state law (RCW 9.41.250), using a suppressor is only legal if it is federally registered. If federal registration completely disappears, it may become legally impossible to buy a new suppressor and comply with WA state law. Buying now guarantees you have a legally registered device.
• The $200 Tax Stamp is Already Gone: Thanks to recent federal legislation, you don't have to wait for deregulation to save money. The tax stamp is currently $0 at checkout—you only pay for the suppressor itself.
• Record-Fast Approval Times: The days of waiting a year for paperwork are over. ATF electronic eForm approvals are currently clearing in just a matter of days.

By processing your purchase now through the standard NFA channel, you protect yourself against unpredictable state laws, save $200, and get your gear in days rather than months.
