[QUOTE="steelfingers, post: 2794131, member: 38658"] Because for 51 years I had no reason to know the NFA as I grew up having to use fire arms to hunt and to eat. There were no need or reason to know the NFA for 51 years. I also do not know most of the Federal register regulations that are the size of a house produced newly yearly. I don't also know the exact distance from the earth to the sun even though it is very important to us (the sun). I know now the NFA, as much as I ever want to know, only because I just now are needing a suppressor to be a good neighbor where I intend to set up a shooting range (private) on my land. I don't know the atomic weight of nitrogen as well but if I ever do I will find out. It's not the money. Fortunately I can afford to buy one or as many as I need. That's not so for others. My misinformation and "rant" was from my local FFL and talking to someone other than the owner about the purchase of a suppressor and listened to a similar rant from someone that seemed to know his stuff. MY MISTAKE. As far as knowledge is our strength, I agree. I also support, financially, the NRA and the Political Action Committee (PAC) that supports our 2nd amendment rights. I educate myself on the issues and support those actions that I feel are appropriate. I guess the biggest mistake I have made, on this site, is making a knee jerk statement without facts. Even so, I cannot support any tax/stamp/user fee that is enacted by Rule or regulation (Federal or State) that limits the availability of legal weapons/suppressors that excludes a portion of the population that are not as financially secure as some. Like me 51 years ago. Working with state and fed legislation over 30 years, I would love to point out Federal acts that directly impinge on your rights that you have no clue about and say "You should know after 51 years? PHEEWWW. I'm exhausted [/QUOTE]
