Marine Corps to Put Silencers on a Whole Infantry Battalion

There would definitely a ton of new companies making builder's grade products and driving the price down, just like with AR lowers.

Any Tom, Dick, Or Bart can already make their own suppressor in their garage for less than $400, including the cost of the form 1 stamp.

True, but many don't know that, or lack the required tools or aptitude to do so. I'm thinking that within a couple of years of deregulation, we'll see sub-$150 suppressors on the shelf at our local sporting goods store.

I can't wait to get my Cohlaugns suppressor from the Army Surplus store. Haha.

There is already one at that price for .22 lr. (not including stamp, transfer or wait time) advertised in one of the multitude of sale ad emails bombarding my in box.

If such a change to the law came into effect, the media would be waiting with bated breath for the first criminal misuse...

"Dindoo Nuffin was supposedly on his way to choir practice when he entered Hank's 'Merica Gun Emporium, where he was able, with NO BACKGROUND CHECK, to walk out in five minutes with a threaded "drop-in" barrel for a Glock 19 and a silencer. One hour later, Nuffin's estranged girlfriend was killed- her body not found for hours because no one heared the gunshots, even in her densely packed inner city neighborhood."

I'm not saying you're wrong, but when was the last time a gangbanger used a suppressor in a crime? If it's as rare as I suspect, is that because suppressors are currently harder to legally obtain?

The good news here is that if the HPA gets passed soon, and there is an incident, there will be several more years of Trump administration for the dust to settle.

I suspect their will be just enough misuse, just like AR-15s or dumb CCW permit holders, to keep them in the forefront of media coverage.

Oil filter suppressors for everyone. [Coffee]
