The best I can figure out on this: if you purchase a suppressor from "silencer shop, B&T, PSA, or SilencerCo, you can have it ship to Triple J for transfer as a 4473 item, or if you are member of one of the following organizations: GOA, Gun Owners Foundation, or Fi****ms Regulatory Accointability Coalition, you can purchase a suppressor as a 4473 item, I will be trying to get some in from one of the 3 listed, which can be purchased as a fi***rm instead of a NFA item. This being stated, there is a lot of questions, unclear actions, and fear due to the way this came down and the 7 weeks left that any appeal can still be filed. Please read the attachment from the State of West Virginia addressing this ruling.__-----____---

West Virginia's post
"UPDATE: Last year, Congress reduced the $200 tax on silencers, short-barreled ri**es, sh****ns to $0 in the One Big Beautiful Bill. Still, it kept the related federal paperwork, photograph, and fingerprinting requirements for those items.
West Virginia joined other states and gun-rights organizations to challenge those continuing registration requirements. And last week, a federal court issued a permanent injunction that prevents the government from enforcing the registration requirements against the parties to this case. The federal government did not seek to stay the decision, but it remains subject to appeal.
The ruling has caused some confusion. It clearly applies to West Virginia’s state agencies, along with the members and customers of the specific organizations and companies involved in the case. It is less clear whether it applies to individual West Virginians beyond those. We are working with other Republican Attorneys General to confirm the scope of the injunction and ensure that it applies to every law-abiding citizen in West Virginia.
For now, our advice is to continue to follow the direction of the ATF. We will provide updates as the case develops. And in the meantime, we will continue to fight for your Second Amendment rights in this case and others.
