It was even better than I expected.

Do you really think they will give us some of our right back to trade a Universal background check? No way, they are not here to share powers. The bottom line is made clear by Cuomo-NY governor, they want us gone, DEAD.
Let me throw this on the fire: Would you.... agree to all items being off NFA, but you still have to pay the $200/ea fee to buy them?
So silencers, select-fire sears, SBRs (& sbs's/aow) would no longer require CLEO/Trust/Corp paperwork and a 6-11mo wait, you can buy and receive them immediately "over the counter" or online but have to pay a magical $200 fee each time.
The boring alternative is hoping some day, some how, executive and legislative branches are stacked hardcore (R) and 1934 & 68/etc acts get repealed.
Never COMPROMISE!!!
When I am having these types of arguments with people I first frame the discussion. I frame it with gun laws have already gone too far and we (Gun community) have compromised too much already. Then I cite an a perfect example of this.....
The silencer/can/suppressor - is actually a medical device designed to prevent hearing loss. They are REQUIRED in many locations in Europe but ILLEGAL in America thanks to these same dumb people pushing for more laws.
So NO I will not compromise, in fact I want to liberalize the laws so that I can have a medical device which will save my hearing.
(They are usually get speechless then)
TEA baby, TEA!

They are not a medical device. They can be considered and engineering control but they are not a medical device. Another point is that with any safety situation dealing with exposure (weather it be noise or contaminants) usually the first thing to consider is engineering controls. The next is administrative controls ie limiting the amount of time of the exposure. The last resort is PPE (personal protective equipment) like hearing protection. I have always wished someone would take this approach with suppressors. I think I saw something a few months ago that the NRA was starting to think about it.
