Thanks, Jumping Frog. I guess I don't understand what "a defense to prosecution" means. I thought it meant that the DA couldn't press charges.

Just so I can ensure that I'm understanding the issue here, you're saying that you want the law changed from you can be arrested but not prosecuted to you cannot be arrested? ISTM that rescinding the law would mean that the state can't even charge you with a crime if you possess a suppressor without having begged for the Fed's permission to have one? That seems counterintuitive to me. Like the state is ceding some of its authority to the Feds, something I'm strongly opposed to.

Wouldn't it be better to change the defense to prosecution section (c) to something like a person does not commit an offense under this section if the actor's possession was pursuant to registration pursuant to the National Firearms Act, as amended?
