Seeing as I am a GOA member and a PSA customer, the injuction should cover me with regards to silencers, short barreled rifles and short barreled shotguns.
A silencer, according to 790.001 (9) is just another firearm.
That means it's an FDLE check away from over the counter, same day purchase.
Short barreled guns, however, have 790.221.
790.221 Possession of short-barreled rifle, short-barreled shotgun, or machine gun; penalty.—(1) It is unlawful for any person to own or to have in his or her care, custody, possession, or control any short-barreled rifle, short-barreled shotgun, or machine gun which is, or may readily be made, operable; but this section shall not apply to antique firearms.(2) A person who violates this section commits a felony of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084.(3) Firearms in violation hereof which are lawfully owned and possessed under provisions of federal law are excepted.
Does the injunction eliminate the provisions of the federal law, making short barreled guns illegal without a tax stamp? Or does the injunction serve as the provision going forward?
IANAL.
and under current jurisprudence, it only applies to the circuit the injunction was enacted in, theoretically. and only stuff purchased from palmetto for now, theoretically. they have 60 more days to appeal too. i ain't holding my breath.
