National Bill to remove suppressors from NFA

[UserNameInUse]

My hope would be that it would make prices more reasonable. I don't understand why something made from a few non-moving parts costs $800.

I prioritize goals at work all the time and I think a federal reciprocity CC law of any sort would be a "nice to have" as most states it would affect, the people affected already have some way to get that reciprocity for a few dollars more.

With suppressors, there are a LOT of people like me who simply won't go through the hassle to get one now, but would jump on the bandwagon overnight if it didn't mean waiting 6 months and being on the NFA list once I did get one.

Then there are all the people who are not even aware that suppressors are legal (if you jump through the hoops) who would get one if it was a simple walking in the LGS with cash and walking out with a suppressor.

There is also the issue of what currently happens to the suppressor when the person holding the stamp dies. I don't want my kids to go through that hassle, I would much prefer that they simply inherit it without any legal ramifications (i guarantee that they will not apply for a stamp).

I don't even have a concealed carry permit - I just don't carry that much anymore (I used to - both carry and have the permit). I will probably get one as there are a few times I wish I could legally carry concealed, but they are rare.

Now if the SCOTUS fell off the wagon and declared such laws unconstitutional then I would declare it a new Independence Day.

Limited market
R&D
Some of them use "exotic metals" (e.g. titanium)

But I am sure no small part of it is "because they can".

If the market opened up to where you didn't need an expensive manufacturers license, I bet we would see a lot more suppressors coming from just about anybody with a CNC machine and some design skills - at much better prices.

Got a suppressor and now have three. I only want to shoot suppressed now. Less noise, blast and recoil. Makes shooting more pleasant for sure. Don't want to go back to unsupressed!

 

[The Heretic]

Just think of all of the gun manufacturers suddenly free to offer integral suppressors as an option!

 

[Nick Burkhardt]

It would be nice to be able to make suppressors for ourselves without having to get permission from the State.

Ghost Suppressors.

If they remove them from the NFA The price will be 1/10th what they are now if not lower. They are DEAD simple to make. The problem is the limited market.

yet another reason i have held back - suppressors are the gateway drug to NFA

+1.

Well, you can't argue with the facts. I know that is what got me started in the NFA world.

 

[fredball]

That would be just super awesome

If they are removed from the NFA I will be buying one this year.

I have wanted to get a trust set up with the Wife for a while. That is what keeps me delaying. I keep looking around and seeing stamps all over as soon as I do. Cans here, couple SBR's there. No end in sight.

Or poke a hole in the end of the solvent trap

Sort of an update. The bill was reintroduced today: ASA Announces Reintroduction Of Hearing Protection Act: A Bill To Remove Suppressors From the NFA

No thanks. I want a legit suppressor. They may or may not work significantly better at reducing sound while possibly not blowing filter material into your face.

CNN picked it up (and not even a blatant slam piece):

I wasn't referring to the cheap oil filter type solvent traps that don't last, but the following rugged style...for those who clean their firearms more often.
The "TITANIUM BLACK MAMBA" Solvent Trap Cleaning System. ***ULTRA HEAVY DUTY***.
