suppressors may become easier to get!!

The Hearing Protection Act, a new federal bill sponsored by U.S. Rep. Matt Salmon, R-Ariz., would remove suppressors from the stringent regulation imposed by the National Firearms Act (NFA) and make them much easier to acquire for ordinary gun owners. Deregulating suppressors would go a long way toward reducing hearing damage among gun owners—but don’t expect to see a groundswell of support from those calling for “common-sense” gun laws for the sake of “public health.”

It would be nice if they were removed from a NFA item. Doubt they will but, who knows.

agree....doubt they will but if they ever did...wow they would sell like crazy!

Lord willing the bill will pass, if so it would be no different than buying a rifle or pistol. just the NICS check.

this would be great...would love to own one myself.

This will be like lowering the price on Ferraris by $100,000.
I won't be so cool if everyone has one!

:)

It would be nice to be able to cash and carry a can just like a gun.
The wait SUCKS!

In the short time I've been here I think I figured that you're a police officer no?
So I'm wondering why if you want one you don't already own one? Are you not allowed to own them where you live or something?

In SD to have a suppressor, you have to buy a tax stamp, that is what we call it. Its about $200. Then the one tax stamp allows you to buy one suppressor that you have to declare the caliber. So if you want a .22 you pay the stamp then but the suppressor. If you want another caliber you do the process again. Didn't say it made any sense but that is how SD does it...so you will pay 1K for a suppressor...give or take. OH yea and this process can take as little as 8 months and as long as 2 years. Up to the SD DCI's discretion. This is after you pass the ATF stuff. I know one guy who has one, took him 13 months and he said about 1100 bucks......

At least you can still get them. Here in dirty jersey they are completely banned.

So if you bought a suppressor that could handle multiple caliber so, you couldn't swap it from gun to gun legally?
