Of course it's not the onion, it's the potato!

Do you have to register again each time you get a new potato?

Parts in suppressors are consumables. The serial number is on the washer so I assume that's the part that can't be replaced.
With the oil filter suppressors only the adapter is the registered part. You can replace the filters as they wear out (which of course is gonna be quick)

Yup! You're spot on.

It's actually an issue the ATF has flip flopped on a few times.

Totally sensible gun control laws

This isnt a particularly unreasonable example, I really can't understand why people are mocking it. It doesn't matter what the silencer is made from or if it works (at least half of the suppressors I have used have been totally useless), just that the person registering it claims it meets the requirements. Why would they lie?
This is basically a guy saying "hey I told the government service set up to record blue objects that something was blue and they believed me, tee-hee" when it the something in question was a potato, painted blue. It's just dumb.

Having to register a potato is the dumb part.

Well sure, if that potato is a suppressor potato. Registering suppressors is pretty absurd, no argument, that it's a potato is not the objectionable part here.

Hence my original snarky comment

Having to register
suppressorsblue shit at all is the dumb part. They're required safety equipment in some parts of Europe and Europeans can barely even have guns!ZoteTheMighty@lemmy.zip · 11 pts · 231d
The Wire did it 20 years ago.

Drop that spud in some high-temp oil until golden and upgrade to a Frylencerâ„¢
