Frequently Asked Questions

How did the New York Times article inadvertently help the NFA fight for suppressors?

The New York Times published an article detailing the dangers of indoor shooting, but in doing so, it also presented data showing how suppressors significantly reduce blast pressure, a key argument for their utility and for easing NFA regulations.

What were the key findings regarding blast pressure from the New York Times article?

The article found that a 50 caliber rifle indoors exceeded the 4.0 PSI safety threshold. Crucially, it reported that attaching a suppressor to an AR-15 reduced its blast pressure from 1.7 PSI to under 0.5 PSI.

What is the significance of the 4.0 PSI measurement mentioned in the article?

The 4.0 PSI (Pounds per Square Inch) is presented as a safety standard for blast pressure at indoor shooting ranges. The New York Times article highlighted that only the 50 caliber rifle tested indoors exceeded this limit.

How can the New York Times article be used in legal and legislative arguments for suppressors?

The article's data demonstrating the effectiveness of suppressors in reducing harmful blast pressures can be cited in legal briefs for Second Amendment cases and in discussions with legislators advocating for the removal of suppressors from the National Firearms Act.
