Ohio joins Tenn and Montana in the fight for firearm freedom.

Well, can't any ole Joe introduce a law like this? I'm happy to see more states put this on the docket, but that doesn't mean they'll be voted in right? Someone help me out here.

Well Sturtle, as far as I know, any citizen can propose a bill but one needs a congressman or senator to actually introduce it. At least thats what I remember from high school civics class. Maybe someone else here can elaborate.

I think it would be awesome to end run the Federal govt. on this. I think its stupid to not allow full autos (post 86) for civilians. What is even more stupid than that is the severe restrictions on suppressors. In some places in Europe, where they have Draconian gun laws, a guy can purchase a supressor over the counter. A supressor isn't even a weapon, except in the eyes of the BATF...

Another good thing that might come from this is if a guy could buy these over the counter, the prices of these items might come down a lot. Better yet, a guy could make his own.

I personally don't have much interest in full autos. I can barely afford ammo as it is, but I hate the idea that the Govt doesn't want me to have one. At least not without jumping through all the hoops. I would however, LOVE to get my hands on a suppressor or two. Eventually, when funds allow, I'll do all the necessary paperwork and get one or two. I think they would be great for varmint hunting. Particularly prairie dogs.

If anyone knows how to get a bill like this going in Colorado, let me know. I'll help in any way I can.

Scout, there are some great write ups on building your own suppressors for cheap. Then it would only cost you the price of the stamp.

Can you still do a trust when you build it? I'm assuming yes but I figured I'd ask.

[Irving]

As far as I know you can. Most people who make their own cans (from what I've seen) do rifle cans, or .22lr cans so they don't have to deal with making a can work without a nielson(sp?) device. I've seen a pretty cool write up where a guy made a .22lr can out of freeze plugs for only a few dollars.

So if Colorado Passed something like this would that mean that there could be a can shop in Colorado. and all you would do is go down there and buy it, like a mattress?

[Irving]

That's the way that I understand it. I've heard you can get suppressors over the counter at sporting goods stores in France for like $20. I think they just use them on their girl friends and to hold doors open and stuff though.
