What license do you need to build and sell suppressors only to wholesalers and not retail? Im located in Colorado.

Which FFL? https://www.atf.gov/firearms/federal-firearms-licenses

Thank you

Screwed x2 if there's increased ITAR fees...

"The Department now proposes to increase the existing fees of Tier 1 and Tier 2 roughly in line with inflation over the last fifteen years. This represents the Department's goal of not asking these registrants to pay an increased amount relative to 2008 costs adjusted to today's dollars. As detailed more below, the Tier 1 annual flat fee would increase from $2,250 to $3,000. This would be a 33% increase over current amounts...
Similarly, the Tier 2 annual flat fee would increase from $2,750 to $4,000. This would be about a 45% increase over current amounts, just over the roughly 40% inflation since the amount was last adjusted... Tier 3 registrants, in contrast to the other tiers, would see an increase beyond the adjusted amount of inflation. Both the calculated fee and the baseline for that fee would increase. The baseline would rise from $2,750 to $4,000, and the additional fee multiplier for favorable determinations, proposed to now be over five instead of over ten, would rise from $250 to $1,100 for each."


So far there's only six comments against this lawfare move (thankfully all against it). It's not like this is going to have a ton of attention like, say, pistol brace comments generated.

The government admitted to a 40% inflation figure while simultaneously telling us it has decreased. I hate these people.

I did like the one commenter's logic along the lines you pointed out:

"I find this 45% increase in fees to be completely unnecessary and a huge burden on small businesses. My business does not export and does not reap any benefit to services rendered by the state department. If anything the fee should be reduced by 45% to help small businesses with the 40% inflation that the state department has cited as the reasoning for the fee increase."
