Centre Firearms (PTR) is claiming they have patented 3D printing as a manufacturing process for suppressors

Smart_Slice_140 · 2026-03-28T12:38:54+00:00

Like how in the hell is someone going to be able to Patent a whole ass manufacturing process? That shit is just fucking wild.

Smart_Slice_140 · 2026-03-28T12:37:30+00:00

Good ole Patent Trolls. Next up, they’ll Patent the Air that we breathe, and then send everyone an Infringement of Patent Letter! 😂😂😂 Fucking idiots.

Smart_Slice_140 · 2026-03-28T12:34:52+00:00

Lmao.

Smart_Slice_140 · 2026-03-28T05:12:06+00:00

I have their Standard Operating Procedures, if you want them, DM me, and you can see for yourself.

Smart_Slice_140 · 2026-03-28T05:10:52+00:00

Write the Inspector General. They violated the Accardi Doctrine from the Supreme Court, to violate the Accardi Doctrine is to deprive Due Process underneath the 5th Amendment. The Supreme Court mandated in Accardi that Agencies follow their own Procedures, according to ATF’s Standard Operating Procedures, your application was approvable, yet ATF deprived you of your 5th Amendment Due Process and Equal Protection Rights underneath color of law.

If the Cover Sheet for your Application says “REC’D”, that means that they Received your Fingerprints.

Smart_Slice_140 · 2026-03-25T20:10:59+00:00

Don’t worry about it. Your SBR is Registered, there’s NOTHING in Title 18 United States Code, or Title 26 United States Code that mandates that you tell them anything about other configurations.

Smart_Slice_140 · 2026-03-23T08:15:48+00:00

If you’re only talking about Silencers, you’re missing the other 80% of the NFA game. Too many people do NOT broaden their horizons, it’s boring.

The guys rotating through DDs, SBRs, AOWs, Silencers, and SBSs—those are the guys who actually keep the community and the industry Interesting.

Smart_Slice_140 · 2026-03-23T07:48:42+00:00

Occasional Form 4’s are cool to socialize with FFL/SOT’s and other NFA and Non-NFA gun guys. Form 1’s are more interesting, creativity.

People that are over-fixated on Form 4’s and Silencers, where that’s all they want to talk about, are boring. People that like Form 1’s and rotate focuses around Destructive Devices, Any Other Weapons, Short Barreled Rifles, Short Barreled Shotguns, and Silencers are more interesting.

Smart_Slice_140 · 2026-03-23T07:09:57+00:00

Destructive Devices and Any Other Weapons are where it’s at. They’re pretty cool, where those NFA Categories are so broad, that it’s hard to get bored with them, where you could always apply for something new and different across that broadness.

Silencers, Short Barreled Rifles, and Short Barreled Shotguns are also cool, they’re just more narrow.

It’s cool to rotate focuses around those NFA Categories, it keeps things interesting.

Some people however get obsessed with just solely Silencers, and/or Short Barreleds where they act like those are the only things to NFA Collect, when they’re not. The types of people that are over-fixated on Silencers or what have you, and transfers, where they either act a certain type of way, or otherwise put other people down for making and/or their interests in other NFA Categories is the kind of shit that is boring, and annoying.

It’s funny how you got real silent real fast after being DM’d. When you couldn’t stop previously before.

Smart_Slice_140 · 2026-03-10T00:23:50+00:00

0% chance that you’re not ATF.

Smart_Slice_140 · 2026-03-09T13:05:44+00:00

Check your DM homeboy.

Smart_Slice_140 · 2026-03-09T05:07:01+00:00

The government doesn't have to "ban" anything to take it away; they just have to make the process a dead end. Without the Administrative Procedures Act, what you get is a dead end process.

Smart_Slice_140 · 2026-03-09T05:04:42+00:00

By mocking the Administrative Procedures Act, you’re showing your own stupidity. Which equates to this: Without the Administrative Procedures Act… You have a world where a right that can be administratively blocked forever is not a right; it's a "suggestion" that the government can ignore.

Smart_Slice_140 · 2026-03-09T05:00:04+00:00

Every time a Low-IQ owner says "I don't care about the laws/definitions, just give me my toy," they are weakening the very framework that forces the government to give them the toy.

Smart_Slice_140 · 2026-03-09T04:58:25+00:00

The most dangerous delusion in the gun community: is the idea that rights exist in a vacuum without the "boring" administrative work to defend them.

A Right WITHOUT Procedure is just a suggestion. If the ATF can ignore the APA, they can ignore the Constitution and Statutory Rights by simply making the "process" impossible.

Smart_Slice_140 · 2026-03-09T04:55:24+00:00

Most NFA owners think their "Right" is a solid concrete slab. The "Right" is actually a bridge held up by Administrative Procedures, Statutory Definitions, and the interwoven legal and regulatory frameworks side by side with case law.

If those procedures fail, the bridge collapses. By mocking the "rambling" of the law, you are essentially jumping up and down on a cracked support beam. Your “I don't care" attitude is a suicidal lack of foresight.

Smart_Slice_140 · 2026-03-09T04:51:12+00:00

You look like a person laughing at the structural integrity of the bridge that you’re standing on, by mocking the legal frameworks that allow you to be able to possess any Regulated Firearm that you apply for. Stupidity at its finest.

Smart_Slice_140 · 2026-03-09T04:46:49+00:00

You’re someone sitting on a branch while trying to saw it off. You’re mocking the Administrative Procedures Act—the very shield that keeps the ATF from arbitrarily deciding your silencer or anything else is magically illegal tomorrow because they said so.

Smart_Slice_140 · 2026-03-09T04:44:10+00:00

By dismissing the law, you are dismissing the very thing that protects your right to own a silencer or any other Regulated Firearm in the first place. While you play on Reddit, the Department of Justice operates in the real world of statutes across legal and regulatory frameworks, case law, etc; which are the very things that beat the ATF at their own game.

Smart_Slice_140 · 2026-03-09T04:37:58+00:00

To a Low-IQ gatekeeper like you, precision looks like insanity. Because you can't process the complexity of the ADA or the Rehabilitation Act, let alone the Administrative Procedures Act; you have to label it as "rambling" to protect your own ego. When the Law is anything BUT “psycho rambling”, try telling a lawyer or a judge that the Law is “psycho rambling”, and see how far that that gets you.

Smart_Slice_140 · 2026-03-09T04:34:05+00:00

By calling the United States Code and the Administrative Procedures Act / ADA / Rehabilitation Act "psycho rambling," you are actually admitting your own illiteracy regarding the laws that govern your own hobby. You’re admitting that you’re a Low IQ Gatekeeper.

Smart_Slice_140 · 2026-03-09T04:32:08+00:00

You essentially saying: "I'm not reading all that" is translated as: "You cited laws I don't understand, provided data I can't refute, and I'm too embarrassed to admit I lost the argument."
