Hearing Protection Act

[brutal]

I mean for building your own gun. I'm sure it will be similar when suppressors are deregulated.

Except they will then not be "licensed" and very likely illegal for new purchase or manufacture in Colorado based upon the current wording in the law.

Miss part of the thread discussion?

Once suppressors are removed from the illegal weapons list. It should be legal to roll your own. Once everyone starts demanding them on rifles who live near shooting ranges. I hope.

IF, which is the key word. IF when removed the states either continue them to be allowed under State Law or not.

Horse and water , the CRS has been discussed multiple times and keeps getting ignored .

The court case was almost a slam dunk that would have struck down the law . The defendant , a depression era moonshiner arrested for a short barreled shotgun was a no show and a default judgment was found against him . There are many legal historians that have looked at the case and pretty much all agree that if he would have showed up the NFA of 34 would have been struck down .

No, not at all. The case was a set up specifically to get a Supreme Court ruling that NFA was constitutional. There wasn't any chance of it being found unconstitutional. The District Court ruling that struck it down was written by a judge known to be pro gun control. It was a set up. Frankly, in my opinion, incompetently done, as Justice McReynolds' reputation on the Supreme Court was that of a less than competent opinion writer.

While I think that suppressors should be removed from the firearm list and demoted to a humble threaded attachment. It should make it easier to pick one up out of a spontaneous sales box like ear plugs or National Enquirer at the check out line. We should see if the powers at hand would be willing to remove the silencer or suppressor line now? What do you think?

I say we mandate that all firearms must come from the factory equipped with noise suppression devices. You know, just like cars, motorcycles, etc. have to have mufflers and meet certain decibel requirements.

That's a great idea in theory. It should be voluntary from gun makers. Giving any gov control over something will turn so so bad, it will be cruel and tragic as soon as welfare to work moron to oversee the new Department of Duh gets a little power.
I remember a Park Ranger pulling me over on my dirt bike and going over it to look for any violation. He checked for oil and fuel leaks and even shined a light down the tailpipe to check for a spark arrester. I didn't know what that was but he found the one in the muffler damaged and gave a 13 year old a ticket for it. I could see them doing random safety checks like that at a gun range too.

I can see your point.

It would be tragic to see guys modifying or deleting their suppressors to make their guns louder and getting tickets for it. Lol.

I know some of this is in jest, but who would remove a suppressor from a firearm to make it louder, unless you were signalling in a survival situation?

There's enough Federal regulations as it is when it comes to firearms, maybe Trump can sign an executive order requiring that for every new regulation passed, two old ones have to repealed. So we get cans and then full autos and short barrels have to be removed from the NFA, leaving only AOW's in place.
