This whole process takes seven to nine months, start to finish.ĪWR Hawkins is an award-winning Second Amendment columnist for Breitbart News and the writer/curator of Down Range with AWR Hawkins, a weekly newsletter focused on all things Second Amendment, also for Breitbart News. Once the retailer has the tax stamp in hand they call the buyer to come pick up the suppressor, at which point the buyer must undergo another FBI background check–an National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS)–before being allowed to take possession of the device.
At this point, the FBI is brought in to perform a background check on the buyer, and thereafter the suppressor is registered with the federal government, under the buyer’s name.Ī federal tax stamp, the result of the aforementioned $200, is issued linking the buyer to that specific suppressor and that stamp is sent back to the place of purchase so it can be handed to the buyer, along with the suppressor.
The documentation, photos, fingerprints, and money are sent to the NFA Branch of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). (That is $200 on top of the cost of the suppressor.) Federal agents will then use that information to perform a criminal check on the would-be buyer.Īlso, at the time the background check documentation is submitted, the would-be buyer must pay for the suppressor, provide fingerprints, photographs, and $200 for a federal tax on NFA-regulated items. This brings special scrutiny to bear on those who wish to purchase items that fall under NFA auspices.Ī person wanting a suppressor must find an individual with the federal credentials to sell them, then go into that individual’s store to fill out background check documentation. This is because suppressors are regulated under the National Firearms Act (NFA) of 1934. To begin with, an individual cannot walk into a gun store or sporting goods retailer and walk out that same day with a suppressor.
