Today, as defined by the Militia Act of 1903, the term "militia" is primarily used to describe
two groups within the United States:
Organized militia – consisting of State militia forces; notably, the National Guard and Naval Militia.
(Note: the National Guard is not to be confused with the National Guard of the United States.)
Unorganized militia – composing the Reserve Militia: every able-bodied man of at least 17 and
under 45 years of age, not a member of the National Guard or Naval Militia.*Either type of militia qualifies as "well-regulated" if some sort of management can be undertaken during an emergency. *Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Militia_(United_States) One detail: it says "consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age". And 32 U.S. Code § 313 says: (a) To be eligible for original enlistment in the National Guard, a person must be at least 17 years of age and under 45, or under 64 years of age and a former member of the Regular Army, Regular Navy, Regular Air Force, or Regular Marine Corps. To be eligible for reenlistment, a person must be under 64 years of age. (b) To be eligible for appointment as an officer of the National Guard, a person must— (1) be a citizen of the United States; and (2) be at least 18 years of age and under 64. That effectively raises the age limit for veterans.  |

Big mistake; civilians should have parity with the basic weapon of the infantry soldier. Liberty only exists when citizens are more powerful than government. I believe that only a well regulated militia should have weapons as powerful as the government. The government exists to serve us, not the other way around. Only the ability to remove them either individually or en masse (as a last resort!) assures that. |

Hunting with assault rifles. Just shows why you may need a sim-auto and a silencer. |

I have no particular objection to some modest (i.e. not a burden or obstacle for someone likely to be able to be qualified) training requirements in both law and procedure for carry (open or concealed). Agreed. I think possessing a gun is like driving a car. There should be modest training (i.e. not a burden or obstacle for someone likely to be able to be qualified) in both cases. Some people believe that possessing a gun is not like driving a car because of the 2nd amendment. The courts disagree - they allow reasonable regulation in both cases. That's not entirely accurate--- "possessing" a gun is subject to very little regulation. Aynone over 18 may purchase and possess a firearm in Texas, no regulation involved at all. Possessing and operating a motor vehicle is subject to very little regulation. Operating a motor vehicle on public roadways is subject to some regulation. Openly carrying a handgun in public is subject to some regulation, openly carrying a rifle or shotgun in public is not. Carrying a concealed handgun in public is subject to some regulation. Let us not confuse possession with public carry, regardless how much some groups would like to pretend they are the same in order to further their positions. |

A semiauto firearm gives somewhat greater ability to do more harm faster; that's it. Exactly. That's why automatic weapons are banned. FALSE! FedGov has never banned possession of Automatic weapons, the manufacture of automatic weapons for civilian sale was stopped in 1986, but all those made before then are freely bought, sold. traded and repaired. Some states may not allow their possession, but why anyone would choose to live in one of those is baffling.  |

I have 3 silencers myself a 22 LR Ruger Silent-SR which looks like what you have on your modified 10/22, Have you tried Gemtech silencer subsonic 22lr they are the only subsonic 22's that I have found that works the 10/22 action all the time. Regular subsonic 22 jam about every 4th shot. I have a 45 Osprey and as far as I am concerned the only good reason to own a 45 ACP is to use with a silencer. Just wondering if the 9mm you have with a 16" barrel will still shoot the 147gr bullets subsonic. I have a Dead Air Sandman-S that is 30 cal. that I can switch from gun to gun with the adapters on them. I would like to get a dedicated silencer for my 300 Blackout but I just don't want to wait 8 months again which is ridiculous after paying $200 for a stamp. So I guess I will just install the muzzle brake adapters on all my rifles. |

My .22 silencer is the YHM Stinger and it works well on the 10" Charger. The Federal Subsonic I have works well with it, but honestly I fire more bulk ammo and although not as quiet, it is still quite pleasant.
The 9mm is a Silencerco Octane, 5.56 is the AAC 5.56 SD, and the .300 BO has a SilencerCo Omega. All are owned by a trust that allows for their legal use among all trustees.

One can use some standard automotive oil filters to make a reasonably effective suppressor. The apparatus for attachment is treated by the Feds as a suppressor therefore subject to a stamp and a waiting period. Oh, and of course the money to the Fed.

When you get right down to its simplest form, today's silencers are simply a tube full of fancy washers.
The size, shape and orientation of those washers can make a big difference in sound reduction.

Some times I think those different shape and fancy insides of a silencer is more of a selling point, I think it is the actual volume that makes the most difference, I can put my 45 silencer on a 22lr even with the big 45 hole all the way through it is still as quit as the 22 silencer. I would imagine the oil filter silencer would work quite well with all the volume. One reason why they should get rid of the NFA stamp and regulations. They do make shooting a heck of a lot more pleasant. |

Those "washers" do make a difference.
Ever heard a vehicle whose muffler had lost its insides, so only the shell remained?
The "washers" are necessary, but making them look cool is, I'm sure, important to the sales literature.

Sorry, read right over this, those are all Short Barreled rifles. 10" on the 22, 10.5" on the 9mm, 5.56 and .300 AAC The 9mm 147gr loads I've tried do stay sub-sonic in the SBR. I also have 9mm ARs with 16" barrels, but I don't run them with silencers, I just have linear compensators on both. The linear comps do a good job of redirecting the noise down range. I use my 16" guns for longer range shooting, so they all have low-power variable scopes.   |
