This video discusses the recent trend of the ATF mass-denying Form 1 applications for individuals seeking to manufacture their own silencers. The denials are reportedly based on the ATF's interpretation of federal law, which defines silencers broadly to include any combination of parts intended for their assembly. The ATF cites possession of 'silencer parts' as the primary reason, even for commonly available items that could be repurposed. While Form 1 applications for silencers are being denied, the process for purchasing pre-made silencers via Form 4 remains available.
