Suppressors should be sold “OTC”, with NO paperwork at all. I am unpersuasible on the issue. There is a REAL and PROVEN, actual harm committed by making suppressors difficult/expensive to obtain (as just ONE example, hunters can’t wear “cans” while they hunt – they need their sense of hearing, so every hunter risks hearing damage WITHOUT the presence of a suppressor), versus the ENTIRELY theoretical (and largely bogus) “risk” of having criminals using suppressors.

I would be curious to see what manufacturers of firearms would do if suppressors become unregulated. First, and most obvious, I would bet there would be HUNDREDS of gun models available, almost instantly, that came with integral, or “standard equipment” but removable suppressors. I also think suppressor technology (which has already made great strides in the last decade or so) would vault forward. Frankly, I can’t see a REAL downside to de-regulating suppressors. They are SAFETY EQUIPMENT.

In reply to .40 cal Booger. In full agreement, that's why I won't buy a suppressor.

In reply to .40 cal Booger. I've previously commented about how Guv agencies are now admitting to employing AI to scrape the Web and compile profiles. (and people still roll their eyes at me when they learn I use cash nearly 100%)

“Suppressors are prohibited for the unwashed masses here in CA, so this is moot for us,…”

That’s currently being worked on, you can assist by supporting your state’s gun rights orgs…

In reply to .40 cal Booger. seriously, this is a government that is doing everything it can to take away the 2nd amendment, to come and take your guns, will literally kill someone to do it, do you seriously think “Form 4 Wait Times are Down” because they are being nice and want to help you equip your guns with suppressors?

“Form 4 Wait Times are Down ” for a reason, they are building a ‘registry’ of who owns guns. A person that does the form 4 for a suppressor is doing it because they most likely own a gun. Contrary to the law against registry for guns there is no law against a registry of who paid a tax. The same with getting a tax stamp for an SBR, or anything NFA, they may not be able to have a registry for guns but they can have a registry of who paid a tax. And true its not a complete picture registry but combined with their other efforts it all adds up, plus also it lets them them know who has most likely, for example, a gun they privately purchased or assembled from an 80% kit.

In reply to Geoff “I’m getting too old for this shit” PR.

Suppressors are prohibited for the unwashed masses here in CA, so this is moot for us, but even if we *could* possess them, I’d be sickened by the thought of having to go through an entire process (requesting permission, paying fees, being assumed guilty until proven innocent via BGC, waiting for said permission, adhering to restrictions of what you can then do with your property, etc).

Wake me up when the “shall not be infringed” portion of the 2A becomes applicable to suppressors.
