    Their prices will go up $200 bucks. Since we don't have to pay the ATF anymore they'll figure we'd be happy to pay the same amount for cash n carry.

    :lol: That's sure one possibility, and somebody will probably take that route.

    When silencers aren't as heavily regulated, the demand for them will initially swell then subside once demand is met. At that point a new market equilibrium price will be apparent; I suspect cans will fall from costing nearly or over four figures into a more comfortable low three figures.

    I see downsides to a suppressed range if the regulation passes and market factors force the prices downwards.

    Maybe lower.

    I remember reading about a .22 suppressor being about 40 Euro, cash and carry in Ireland.

    Yep, Paul Ryan Sides with Hillary: Shelves Bill to Deregulate Suppressors

    I have a sneaking suspicion that this kind of thing is going to happen every time a gun bill is up for a vote.

    "If you’ll remember, the Hearing Protection Act was scheduled come before a House committee on June 15. However, on the 14th, James Hodgkinson opened fire on a group of GOP legislators practicing for the annual Congressional baseball game. The HPA was then shelved."

    I was really hoping for this one.
    Have the R's accomplished anything at all beside just not being D's?

    :thumbsup: Aren't we so glad that we voted republicans into office? And before the thumping begins, I know, I know... what is the alternative? :sad20:

    Trump is "bad", shrillary is worse.

    but neither is more than a figure head to the "Deep State".

    The swamp needs to be drained

    Bringing this one wayyyy back from the dead...

    Anyone heard anything about this coming back up anytime soon? I can't find anything online, which probably isn't a good thing.

    Finally interested in getting some suppression so thought I'd at least ask.

    If it did there would undoubtedly be another mass shooting to relegate it to the back burner again.

    Deader than a doorknob for now.
    The critters in the Senate are not serious about it -- otherwise it'd be law.

    If there’s a classification for deader than dead, this falls into. All it takes is several fen idiots to ruin it for the rest of us... All we can hope is that it gains momentium down the line.
