The ATF's stance suggests that possessing any part of a solvent trap could be construed as possessing an unregistered suppressor, potentially leading to felony charges under the Gun Control Act and NFA. The video advises viewers not to contact the ATF directly if they believe they are affected, but instead to seek legal counsel from a Second Amendment attorney.

This video from Washington Gun Law, featuring President William Kirk, provides an expert analysis of the ATF's recent open letter concerning solvent traps. The ATF asserts that many solvent traps, or their components, are legally defined as firearm silencers under the Gun Control Act and National Firearms Act. Possession of such items can lead to felony charges. The video emphasizes that the manufacturer's label or intended use is irrelevant; the ATF will determine classification based on objective design features and the item's capability to silence a firearm's report. It strongly advises against modifying solvent traps and recommends consulting local legal counsel if in possession of these items.

This video provides a critical analysis of a recent ATF open letter declaring certain Force Reset Triggers (FRTs) as machine guns under the National Firearms Act (NFA) and Gun Control Act (GCA).

The video highlights the potential legal ramifications for possessors and critiques the ATF's reinterpretation of statutory definitions, drawing parallels to previous regulatory actions.
