The first step down a very long road. Good to see people trying even if it seems like digging a hole in water.

That is good to see. I think NFA needs an overhaul. I never understood the stigma against suppressors anyways. To me they should be encouraged as safer way to enjoy the sport and not cause hearing loss, just as ear muffs/plugs are religiously used and preached.

I think Hollyweird & their dramatic assassin movies for much of the stigma associated with silencers.

30k unprocessed applications? That's both insane & unacceptable.

They were heavily regulated during the 30s because of poachers using them. Modern stigma nowadays is because the only exposure people get to suppressor technology is from Hollywood displaying them as tools of assassins that can turn the biggest caliber gun into the sound of a kitten falling on a pillow.

Cans need to be sold over the counter. they are hearing protection in my opinion. less noise complaints from people living near ranges.

airliners got quieter engines largely in part due to noise and noise complaints. fuel efficiency also played into it. silencers can do the same thing. There is no reason in my mind that someone needs to pay a $200 stamp to own one, and no need for them to cost as much as they do.
