A Bill to treat suppressor the same as long guns.

It was read into the house and sent to ways and means.

Feel lucky?

No, not in today's anti gun climate. The "trust" scam is probably the
best option. I should get one before someone decides to close that
down. It would be nice to shoot without muffs on if everyone had a
suppressor.

If it passes and is signed into law, it'll be nice...if it does away
with the $200 stamp and the three to four month wait. I suspect it would
also result in significantly lower suppressor prices. Local dealers tend
to try to charge full boat for the devices, and if you order from an
on-line discounter, the local FFL fee eats up most of the savings.

While I was waiting for my approval, I spoke several times on the phone
with the folks who approved the applications, and they reported they
were "buried" in paperwork and had only a few folks processing them.

As I mentioned more than once here, I have a SilencerCo "Sparrow"
suppressor for my .22LR rifle and pistol. It makes the rifle, a bolt
action, sound like a BB gun. The sounds from the bullets on the pistol
are also muffled, but the pistol action -it's a semi-auto- makes it
sound like an office electric staple gun.

I see no reason why these things would not be less than $100 and maybe
a lot less once the Chinese start making them. It is really just a
piece of pipe and some stamped out baffles. The problem now is they
are all virtually hand made art.
The threading process is the only real trick and that is not rocket
science.
If you are only talking about .22 RF the thing can be plastic and
virtually disposable ... except for that stamp.
You can get hundreds of rounds out of PVC pipe and milk bottle caps,
the caps being the consumable.

I often wondered what ATF would say if you filed a Form 1 (home built)
and proposed a plastic one. (a $200 stamp for a $2 item)
The outer tube (AKA "can") is the serialized part. Everything else is
just an accessory. You can have a single can with parts to adapt it to
virtually anything.
If they lifted the #200 and the paperwork, there is no reason why this
could not be a mass market item. Ranges might even start requiring
them.
The opposition is really only emotional. Making a gun quieter does not
make it any deadlier any more than mufflers on cars makes them more
dangerous.
