I would add a Silencer, SBR, or Machine Gun.
No I Hadn’t Thought About It! – Guns and Trusts
Conne Tampas, in her recent quarterly newsletter talks about providing Gun Trusts and mentions the Gun Trust Lawyer®.com website as a resource for lawyers and attorneys who are interested in providing NFA Gun Trusts to their clients.
Her newsletter uses some nice technology to provide an online PDF publication that contains great legal information on a variety of topics as well is fun to experience from a technological point of view.
While many lawyers have asked us for a copy of our CLE materials in Audio or Video format, we have been unable to provide the materials as they were not captured.

Criminal Use of Silencers, Machine Gun, SBR, SBS, or DD
Paul Clark has written an article where he notes that if you use of most Title II firearms during a crime of violence or drug trafficking you are subject to a 30 year mandatory minimum sentence. It appears that the 30 year sentence applies to the possession and its use is not required. Note this applies even if you are legally in possession of the silencer by ownership in a NFA Trust, corporation, LLC, or individual ownership.
While the data appears to show that the use of a silencer or most other Title II firearms in a crime is a rare occurrence, individuals might take this into consideration when using silencers on personal firearms when there is a chance that they might be charged with a crime of violence, such as defending yourself.
While many states have stand your ground statutes or castle doctrines, its possible that overzealous self-defense can lead to criminal charges. If the charges are in the federal court, you could be looking at enhanced penalties like those described in 18. U.S.C. Section 924(c)(1).

Does the Definition of Education in Your Firearms and Estate Planning Trust Allow for Firearms Training?
A California Gun and & Trust Lawyer, (not currently a NFA Gun Trust Lawyer®) has written an interesting article on creating language in your trust to specifically permit the trust funds to be used for firearms education and training along with the typical K-12, college, or post-graduate study that most trusts would allow for. After all it was George Washington who said that “firearms deserve a place of honor with all that’s good.”
David R. Duringer, a firearms trainer, and attorney licensed in CA and WA goes on to state:
Such training can provide your children with the comfort of skill at arms so they can protect themselves and their own children, and furthermore, passes on American values necessary to preserve political independence of families in our society. Other benefits of such training can include increased personal responsibility and lower juvenile delinquency rates.
