Episode 154 They Registered a Potato: ATF Approves a Russet Suppressor

from Dear Shooter · host jasonjg

This episode unpacks the bizarre story of an Idaho Russet being registered and approved by the ATF as a firearm suppressor, using 3D-printed parts and a potato cover to highlight failures in the NFA registration process. The hosts discuss random approvals and denials, legal and political fallout, the NRA’s response, and what the incident reveals about agency incompetence and the wider debate over the constitutionality and future of the NFA.   https://10thwhiskey.com/ Enter dearshooter at checkout for 15% off https://www.lucidoptics.com/ https://www.wyotac.com/   Disclaimer: The statements and opinions expressed here are our own and may not represent those of the companies we represent, or any entity affiliated to it.
