I don't post here because I am a man of very modest means without resources to buy and enjoy the fun NFA items many here can themselves. I remain happy for those who can however! I enjoy reading and watching videos of those with the means and have had some wonderful afternoons at a periodic Louisville KY shoot over the years. My first one was in the early 1970's when a WW2 vet took a friend and me, both of us in our early teens, and we were allowed between firings to touch and shoulder the anti-tank cannons, select fire 12 gauge M16's the select fire .22 subguns etc. AND, we could go out on the range after volleys to examine shot up stuff. For years I used a peeled back recovered .50 BMG armor piercing slug as a center punch. Sadly, I declined the offer of a man to fire his 20mm cannon a time or two. Foolish youth!
Anyway. I digress. I've tried reading the proposed HPA and have very high hopes for its passage. So much quiet fun I could have.
But I suspect that suppressors shall remain a pricey accessory, or hard to find item for a while should HPA become law. Supply and demand.
Has anyone found in reading the proposed law how homemade suppressors would be treated under the HPA if it passes? I understand that under the proposal a suppressor would be treated as a firearm, requiring a 4473(?) and background check.
With so many options available for home built suppressors and the form 1 option for making one, would the HPA allow tinkerers to make suppressors themselves as a cost effective option? We have restrictive laws telling us barrel length, rifling requirements etc for firearms. Would the HPA have similar restrictions on suppressor builds?
Thanks so much, and I apologize in advance if this have been discussed already. I couldnt find a conversation about this subject. Don.
