[QUOTE="DaveTN, post: 5519131, member: 3052"] It's the totality of the circumstances, intent, and marketing. Much like "possession of burglary tools" or "Possession of tools to interfere with anti-theft security devices". Intent would need to be shown. It was determined by the BATF that the company that got busted selling solvent traps was marketing them as silencers. So they went to the buyers and asked them to turn them over. You could tell them to go get a warrant, you could tell them to go pound sand. But it costs them nothing to charge you with a felony, and you have the legal costs of getting an attorney whether you win your case or not. As someone else pointed out, if someone wants one, it cheaper to just pay the federal tax, and the ridiculous price for a suppressor and call it a day. [/QUOTE]
