Hope this happens, but not holding my breath.  https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/gun-silencers-are-hard-to-buy-donald-trump-jr-and-silencer-makers-want-to-change-that/2017/01/07/0764ab4c-d2d2-11e6-9cb0-54ab630851e8_story.html?utm_term=.f502b98cd0a2

This reminds me of how anti-gun bigots acted while states were considering whether or not to issue carry permits on a shall issue basis.  They said it would lead to blood running deep in the streets.  We knew they were lying and so did they.  And now everyone knows.  This same process will unfold every time an attempt is made to lift one of their illegal edicts.

I think suppressors will become easier to get, in spite of the liars of the liberal cult doing their best to keep them as restricted as they are now.  What I hope is that this becomes one part of a broader lifting of illegal restrictions.  For example, there is no legitimate reason for there to be a limit on barrel length (or O/A length).  And the arsenal of freedom should include three round burst at a minimum; this would only take a slight adjustment to the definition of machinegun.

There's still a big question over how much freedom we will get back under Trump.  What the coming months and years will tell us is how much he really believes the things he said that got him elected, and they will show how many Republican Senators and Congressmen are real Republicans and how many are RINOs.  If Congressional Republicans are the kinds of whimpering cowards most of the Republicans in our state legislature seem to be don't expect much.  Hopefully though they will do better.

Considering the host of the article, that one was surprisingly well balanced.

As to the HPA, it first needs to again make it out of committee. If it does that, it has a much better chance of passing. Yes, the way it is written is you will get your tax stamp back as a tax credit if it passes.

BUT

Let me break it down Barney-style for y'all. If it passes, there will be an immediate run on suppressors. With the immediate increase in demand, prices will skyrocket as you will have FUDD's buying up everything they can to resell at a ridiculous markup. And people will buy them. Production (or price, or both) will increase to counter demand, and until the two even out you will not find a suppressor on the shelf. You're looking at no less than 6 months of scarcity, the level of which has not been seen since the Sandy Hook buying panic.

So what can you do? I'll tell you. If you're thinking, even considering, a suppressor, get your ass to the store NOW. Here's why: If it passes, those stamps are approved immediately. If it passes, you already have your can. If it passes, you'll not have to wait or race to the shop to get one, hoping that someone hasn't been there first with a fatter wallet.

I can't be any more blunt than that.

The way it is written, it would place suppressors in the same purview as firearms. I'm not sure what the steps for manufacturing would be then, but now it simply requires a Form 1.
