Legalize isn’t the right word actually, they are legal in most places, just heavily taxed and regulated.

Seeing how this election is going for both president and congress, what are the chances we see suppressors de-regulated in the next few years?

If suppressors got removed from the NFA, that would be a huge win for health and safety of hunters.

Who is ready to start calling congressman?

I had a chance to meet, and hunt with, the leadership team of the American Suppressor Association. They have really been focused at state level legislation in the past few years, but they stated that if the conditions were right in Washington, they would do a full out blitz on getting suppressors removed from the NFA. I would guess that come January, the conditions will be right.

They are legal, you just need to fill out some paperwork first
Correct. Like I said in the first sentence of the post.
But, a hearing safety item doesn’t need the same regulation as machine guns. And people definitely don’t need to be taxed $200 per device to help protect their hearing, their kids hearing, etc.

Would be just my luck after spending $800 on “tax stamps” the last few months…
This is exactly why I've waited and not bought any this year just stuck with what I have. Kinda been hoping and expecting something to change which could result in no $200 tax stamp and possibly drive the ridiculous prices down. 🤞

We'll see, they had a chance in the first 2 years when Trump was president. They could not get it done. I hope they do it this time around. 4473 is way better than a tax stamp and a year wait.

Careful what you wish for, more people getting multiple shots at undisturbed animals, multiple animals being taken out of herds. Selfishly maybe I don’t want everyone out there w suppressors.

Tongue in cheek
