Bust out the Visa and get busy .

I'd like nothing better than to ring Shane up and get a new can when ever I liked but this is easy political capitol for these idiots to bargain with , if they bargain it away for something else there is no loss or gain with leaving things the way they are .

The thing that worries me most is if this passes and suppressors come off the NFA does that mean the previous transfers are null and void in the eyes of Colo and the affirmative defense for people that have them go away and instant criminal status happens ?

Is there a precedent for a federal law being no longer applied to an item and then States using existing laws, or creating laws to ban the private, otherwise legal ownership of said items?

If current legal NFA ownership is currently overiding Colorado view of suppressors as dangerous weapons, then wouldn't the Feds view of suppressors as nothing more than the purchase of a handgun, or long gun wouldn't that also preempt Colorado law?

You mean kind of like how federal law doesn't restrict owning a magazine with a capacity greater than 15 rounds but Colorado does?

Aside from the AWB there was never a federal ban on magazine capacity.

Err "restriction on magazine capacity"

But I get your point, makes sense.

NFA items are approved / allowed under state laws. As CA, NY and other states do not allow any or specific ones. WA last year passed a law prohibiting Form 1's . It's the fed's that approve one's application, the states allow ownership.
