Semperfi... that was funny.
Amafrank... has there ever been a challenge to the ATF and their seemingly ever changing make it up as they go along rules? Rules and guidelines are not laws. I would think a suppressor "should" only be a suppressor when it's assembled as a "system" that can be attached to a weapon and reduces the sound signature. Much like leaving your SBR's short barrel at home and taking the registered receiver across state lines means the gun is not in it's SBR configuration therefore not an SBR.
