There was a buzz about this time last year, but I don't think I ever heard any more about the attempt to get suppressors removed from the NFA. Did the bill die or is it still being pursued?
...and that house mouse Ryan better get with the Trump bandwagon !I read it has a few more co sponsors. Maybe early in 2017 it can get some legs.
All GOP in January. We need action this time around.
This was going nowhere but it might have a better chance these days. Hard to tell given the dynamics of national politics on such things. I don't think Trump's election is likely to change that much as far as federal gun law goes, although it is unlikely to get any worse.
silencers are still a very niche thing to a subset of a subset of Americans
I believe that is only because the red tape and $200 tax stamp drive the cost above what most people are willing to pay. Eliminate those barriers, the supply will increase, prices will fall, and many more people will be using them.
If one can just walk into the LGS and buy one, even if it involves a 4473 and check then you'll see a lot more out there. Prices will drop. Most suppressor companies are pretty small shops. When Ruger, Remington, Savage, Mossberg Smith &Wesson, and everyone else is free to make them the supply will be much greater and prices will be in free fall.
What's the possibility manufacturers would start making guns with suppressors integrated into the barrels?
