New silencer/suppressor rules passed for TN?

[tnlegendracer]

My daughter heard on Knoxville radio that something has passed regarding silencer/suppressor rules.

Anybody know what they were talking about?  It was earlier this week.

Removed "firearm silencer" from the prohibited weapons statute.

Won't keep you out of federal prison, though.   Neither will anything in the TN Firearms Freedom Act of several years ago, whereby you could already make your own silencer or buy one from TN manufacturer, as long as all in state.

So now I can make my own firearm silencer and as long as I keep it in TN the feds can not come and get me?

Nope. The Feds can do what they want, like always. TN law can't change that.

ATF offiically poo pooed the several states which have done the "firearm freedom act" thing good while ago. Test case in Kansas, guys were convicted. Got a break on highest appeal, sentences reduced to probation, though of course they still lost their gun rights for felony convictions.

Tested in Montana without actual arrest,  up through US Circuit, nope. And SCOTUS refused to hear it after that.
