Summary: An individual expresses support for the proposed joint registration for spouses, arguing that current NFA requirements for suppressors are overly burdensome and complex for married couples. The commenter also suggests that the proposal does not go far enough, advocating for easier rules regarding lending suppressors to adult children.
Please do this at a minimum. It is so stupid to have to jump through so many hoops to make sure me and my wife are 100% legal because she's hunting with a suppressor and I'm not there. Giving her the rifle is not a problem, why why why, for the love of God is there a different rule for an attachment? It is ridiculous to have to buy a suppressor, buy a trust, add spouse to the trust (comes at a cost for a notary public), keep copies with you whenever you're possessing them. It's an unnecessary burden that feels like it's there to trap you into being illegal. It actually takes a bit of knowledge and research to navigate the legal trust side of this and it's just stupid for a married couple to have to go through this. I would say this doesn't go far enough. Why in the world should I have to go through the whole gun trust to let my over 21 child borrow a suppressor for their hunt? Literally, what is the difference between letting them borrow a rifle (no trust) and letting them borrow a suppressor (by adding them to the trust)? Adding them to the trust doesn't is nonsense. They're of age, not a prohibited person and in my case have repeatedly gone through and passed background checks for their own weapons, carry licenses, etc, etc. How did adding them to a trust somehow make this better if not just an opportunity for a law abiding citizen to get it wrong and potentially lose their rights as a result? These items (granted not all) make guns safer and current NFA rules make it too hard to be both law abiding and safe. A really good argument can be made that these rules are there to keep you from your 2A right because it's too hard to make sure you're within the law and the cost is too great for being wrong and you're punishment is you lose all your 2A rights.
