On June 26, 1934, the U.S. congress passed a law regulating the use of certain firearms under the National Firearms Act (NFA). This act classified certain firearms as weapons that must be tightly controlled in order to promote public safety.

Much of the legislation was a response to the “gangster” days of the era, where criminals with Thompson submachine guns would wreak havoc on hapless citizens. Since fully automatic weapons, short-barrel weapons and silencers posed the most vivid-looking threats, congress severely limited their ability to be owned by citizens, even those that had never committed a crime in their life.

Class 3 firearms include:

• Suppressors
• Short barrel rifles
• Short barrel shotguns
• Explosive devices like grenades
• “Machine Guns” with receivers that enable fully automatic fire or rapid burst fire
• Any Other Weapon (AOW) a catch-all category for small, concealable weapons or devices like the pump-action
• “Super Shorty” shotgun

Creating a gun trust can help loosen the regulations required to possess class 3 weapons like silencers, shortening the time needed to process applications and requiring less personal information overall.

To know what a gun trust is, it helps to know what a living trust is first. Living trusts are legal arrangements where one person, known as the “beneficiary,” can own the property of another person, a “trustee,” on their behalf. Living trusts work similarly to wills in that they transfer property in a way that is legally binding and indisputable.

One interesting use of a trust is that the trustee and the beneficiary can be the same person. In other words, rather than someone “owning” a property outright, the property belongs to the trust and the trust belongs to the person. Confusing? Yes, but it allows for property ownership that has extended legal benefits.

A gun trust is nearly identical to a living trust but one that is filed specifically for property that is normally NFA firearms. More formally known as an NFA trust, these arrangements allow firearm owners to skip many of the legal requirements for buying, selling or transferring firearms. They are most useful for items that are tightly controlled like class 3 weapons such as:

• Automatic weapons
• AOW (Any Other Weapons)
• Suppressors
• Shortened barrel rifles or shotguns

Just because class 3 weapon sales are now legal does not mean that they are convenient or even realistic to the average firearm owner. Requirements include:

1. A form including the name of the seller/transferor, the buyer/transferee and a description of the firearm
2. The serial number of the firearm along with the new owner’s fingerprints and a photo of the new owner
3. An NFA tax stamp costing $200

With a gun trust, the added trustee can avoid having to send in fingerprints and photos. Getting these steps out of the way greatly simplifies the buying process for people who want to own a suppressor without waiting months for the paperwork to clear.

Consult a lawyer near you to arrange for your gun trust to be filed or discuss with Silencer Central on how to obtain a FREE Pennsylvania Gun Trust. Best of all, this trust can be used to procure other firearms and regulated accessories, so a one-time arrangement can benefit the sale of all your other suppressor purchases down the road!
