Truth be told, I hope the democrats don’t waste energy fighting this. Their effort would be much better spent on fighting the tax policies. Suppressors and short barrelled rifles (SBRs) are pretty easy to get if you don’t care about doing things legally. The $200 tax stamp and paperwork mostly serve to make law abiding gun owners’ lives more cumbersome. In the 30s, a $200 fee was basically a ban, these days it’s less than the suppressor itself. Hell America is actually pretty unique in restricting suppressors. They’re legal in many parts of the world because they have more sporting value than criminal value.

That is not accurate as firearm suppressors are regulated in Spain, Russia, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Croatia, Cypress, Belarus and the Benelux countries to name a few.
Yeah true. I didn’t verify that. I know there are several countries with large restrictions on guns but little to no restrictions on suppressors, though. For shooting range or hunting applications, a suppressor is basically a heating safety device.
Literally the only good thing in that bill.

Remember folks, no more omnibus bills.
The House bill would remove silencers — called “suppressors” by the gun industry
How to tell me you know nothing about firearms. They’re called suppressors because they aren’t silencers. Firing a pistol with a suppressor is far from silent. It won’t damage your hearing, but it’s only on TV and video games that a pistol with a suppressor is impossible to hear.
