Description
Can you legally build a suppressor or Short Barrel Rifle at home today without a Form 1? Can you walk out of a gun shop with a can on just a 4473? What happens if you cross state lines with an unregistered SBR?
In this segment, I sit down directly with Robert Cekada, the Director of the ATF, to get official, on-the-record answers to the critical legal questions every gun owner is asking following the ATF’s October 2026 nationwide NFA enforcement discretion directive. We skip the internet rumors and cut straight to the practical reality: home manufacturing rules, over-the-counter FFL sales, possession of unregistered items, the 18 U.S.C. § 922(a)(4) Form 20 transport trap, and 26 U.S.C. § 5842 engraving requirements.
