    Having done some suppressor hunting recently it really is nicer to my tinnitus.

    And still fairly audible. Suppressors are one things the Europeans get right. Loud bangs are a nuisance and will make you deaf

    Do you think the Fed will ever allow use of suppressors without a lisence

    Just what the title says. The European countries seem to have no trouble with people owning suppressors yet our Fed. seems to be scared to death of them.
    Will we ever get them straightened out?

    If the hunters would get on board, maybe. If you roll up with a tactical perspective they will try to shut it down.

    If all the hunters would get on board and just a general noise issue then maybe. $200 tax stamps for a suppressor "firearm" has to be one of the most bizarre laws in this entire land. There is no sane person that could reason it to be a firearm. It doesn't fire and it can't be armed. ... hey, that could be our slogan.

    It Doesn't Fire
    -----and------
    It Can't Be Armed

    It would take a big squeaky wheel but honestly if we can't get suppressors delisted, what does that mean for everything else?

    The problem is, when we get back that right, they will want to negotiate and take something else. IOW, yes we could do it, but they are going to want something in return.

    They will then want Mimic Europe.

    All guns are registered to the owner, ammo too.

    Silencers are then an accessory, after all you are now asumed to posess the silencer also

    Please dont suggest europe here
    The attempt to lobby will backfire as usual

    I would just love to be able to groundhog hunt around the farm with out wearing ear pro. Without the hassle of a tax stamp would be pretty nice, and I assume if they became for available to the common gun owners the price would be drove way way down.

    Owning a Silencer - without being in another filing cabinet on another list - somewhere. Priceless!

    Excluding the higher outliers, maybe 1/3

    Hell id take 200 off and no stamp fee.

    My old job was 150 to 175 per hr, they did have live tools.

    I can see a saker for $750 street price minus mount

    I will say in urban areas the only difference is that the noise pollution would go down. The police dont get called or talked to now, nothing would change in that regards

    Maybe the increase in accuracy will help too

    The insanity that is the recent 2nd Circuit AWB ruling MIGHT be an avenue to indirectly whittle away at sporting purposes. The more rulings that protect weapons particularly suitable for defense of person and property, the SP is de facto undermined.
    In 1986 we stripped a lot of things from the 1968 Gun Control Act, it could be done again, especially if the focus was exclusively on the "sporter clause."
    It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

    Chuck, we miss ya man.
