For those Minnesotans excited about converting your AR pistol to an SBR, now that the NFA is defunct… don’t do it! Not yet.
Due to Jensen v. ATF, you can [for] now buy silencers through Silencer Shop (and some others) without the form 4. However, a separate law called the Gun Control Act of 1968 requires authorization for citizens to make or receive short barreled long guns (SBRs, and SBSs). Prior to now the authorization came in form of a tax stamp. Without NFA, we no longer have a form of authorization and are in limbo with how to move forward on this.
Also, although the DOJ and ATF did not seek injunction of Jensen v. ATF within the 7 day window to do so, they still have 60 days to appeal the ruling.
In other words, this fight ain’t over. Keep supporting the FPC Action Foundation and Gun Owners of America!
