Tax stamps for suppressors is a Fed law (1934 National Firearms Act)...so how does that work, exactly? Ohio changed their stance on suppressors (and other "class 3" weapons) a few years ago, making it impossible for Sheriffs to stonewall signing off on them without legitimate reason, but the Federal requirements still apply."He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you."

I don't know how Texit will work either, but I like that too...

Maybe put out a friendly bulletin, in the interest of public safety, on social media and the local news, stating that Fed LE will be in a particular area to arrest Texans for things that aren't illegal in Texas...

What if we just deny visas to any ATF people attempting to enter our country from the U.S.S.A.?

Baby steps. But, seriously though, I think my suggestion is a reasonable course of action. You're not "interfering" with the Feds, but you're also not responding to their calls for help when they get lit up either...

All of it sounds good, but its still just politics. FFLs, and stores are still bound by federal laws. At most I could see not having to go through the part of having to give your info/finger prints to the local sheriffs office for something that is NFA regulated after these things were passed.
To me this is on par with the border wall the state is now trying to fund and build. Theyll run into the same legal issues the feds ran into, which is why the federal barrier remains incomplete and spotty in numerous areas.

Federal law still supercedes state law, a lot of this is just Texas' way of saying "we're taking a hands off approach to this". Just because it isn't sold as a 4473 item in the state, doesn't mean it isn't a 4473 item under the federal guidelines. Texas could pass legislation allowing us all to own machine guns, but be prepared for the ATF to start a stink about it.

...but just like pot and immigration, state and local departments can't enforce federal law.

But who wants to be the test case?
