Since the legislation took effect, the ATF has warned Texas firearm dealers that federal law still stands, and the United States will pursue legal action on any citizen found in violation.
According to federal law, possession of an unregulated suppressor carries a penalty of up to 10 years in prison and/or up to $250,000 in fines. At this time, I ask all Texans to exercise caution when purchasing unregulated suppressors until H.B. 957 is litigated in court. |

| When a million people in TX alone have "illegal" suppressors the criminal ATF will be grossly outnumbered and unable to enforce that treasonous 1934 "law." And I hope they TRY and some Texas citizens are prepared to the point that they don't try again. |

TO REMEMBER |
| We'll take one step at a time, and the first is necessarily - given the political realities - very modest. We'll have to start working again to strengthen the law, and then again to strengthen the next law and again and again. Our ultimate goal, total control of handguns, is going to take time. The first problem is to slow down production and sales. Next is to get registration. The final problem is to make possession of all handguns and ammunition (with a few exceptions) totally illegal. — Pete Shields, founder of Handgun Control, Inc., New Yorker Magazine, June 26, 1976, pg. 53 |
