There's a ton of buzz with the YouTubers, Silencer Shop, GOA, and all the paid talking gun heads. There is NO CHANGE to the NFA process in Pennsylvania for now and for a long time. You must still register NFA items with the Federal Government. Why? Pa Law requires you to comply with a law that was found to be unconstitutional. Until someone challenges the PA law, you must still register. See Below
Excerpts cut from
18 Pa.C.S.A. § 908
§ 908. Prohibited offensive weapons
“Offensive weapons.” Any bomb, gr***de, machine gun, sawed-off shotgun with a barrel less than 18 inches, firearm specially made or specially adapted for concealment or silent discharge, any blackjack, sandbag, metal knuckles, any stun gun, stun baton, taser or other electronic or electric weapon or other implement for the infliction of serious bodily injury which serves no common lawful purpose.
(b) Exceptions.--
(1) It is a defense under this section for the defendant to prove by a preponderance of evidence that he possessed or dealt with the weapon solely as a curio or in a dramatic performance, or that, with the exception of a bomb, gr***de or incendiary device, he complied with the National Fi****ms Act (26 U.S.C. § 5801 et seq.), or that he possessed it briefly in consequence of having found it or taken it from an aggressor, or under circumstances similarly negativing any intent or likelihood that the weapon would be used unlawfully.
