SBR regs are ridiculous. No one seems to care about it. Perhaps the companies that sell braces don’t want anything to change.

I never hear anyone talking about that.

Mike Pence recently said that cheap foreign consumables make up the American dream.

It’s the loud report of a gun that scares new folks.

A quiet gun is a very friendly gun for a new shooter.

All gun makers would greatly benefit.

It takes the hassle away of having to keep the paperwork with you just to go out shooting and hunting. And I believe it would also open the doors to more sales of suppressor to the public that couldn’t Alford it before. Yes it might take away a little from the company that have helped us so much to obtain our cans. But also increase sales for the manufacture.

The biggest thing would be an avalanche of cheap suppressors that are treated as consumables (which is how it is in many countries). That business model, of course, is impossible where each can requires a $200 tax stamp and a mess of paperwork.

Think a dedicated can for your deer rifle that only has a lifespan of around 400 shots, and then is discarded. For most of us, the deer rifle gets shot a few times to make sure it’s sighted in, and then maybe ten at most shots during deer season. A can that is made of titanium and that has a lifespan measured in the tens or hundreds of thousands of rounds is overkill for a hunting rifle. One made of aluminum that wears out after a few hundred shots would last most of us almost a lifetime of use.

I do think there would be a lot more intregally suppressed weapons (both rifles and pistols). The demand for them exists but NFA compliance makes the market for such weapons uneconomical.

Just like you need to live with a certain amount of poison in your food because otherwise the prices might go up a bit.

If America is going to continue to be America we need some oppression, a lot of poison and massive tons of pollution because of we don’t have licenses gate keepers, toxic additives and millions of tons of plastic future garbage pouring in from slave factories in despotic dictatorships your 401K might drop a bit.

Even all the alleged climate caring leftists apparently agree. Profit and consumption trump everything else.
