Wow. Who did he piss off/embarrass?
He took them of form 5's and the only thing a form 5 does is wave the NFA Tax.
So this idiot went to prison for not paying $200 per-item.
But passed all the screen testing for LEO
LOL

Why only charged for 2 when he bought 7?
Agents conducted an investigation from March 18, 2021, through September 10, 2021, where Chambers Jr. bought seven gun silencers for personal use from businesses federally licensed to sell firearms.
Chambers said that he was acting on behalf of law enforcement.
Agents also said because Chambers was acting on behalf of law enforcement, he was able to buy the silencers without paying the required federal tax stamp for each suppressor or having to comply with other federal regulations that a person has to do in order to purchase and have gun silencers.
Chambers is being charged with two counts of obtaining goods under false pretenses and official misconduct. He is being booked at the Lexington County Detention Center.

OP
Maybe he only maybe two purchases totaling seven? Unsure if they can charge per item or with each act of purchasing
