If you think that after the Vegas incident HUSH/SHARE or whatever its called now was going to remove suppressors from the NFA registry you're living in a dream world.
The market does not bring in enough cash to make any heads turn. You have energy companies spending almost 100 million dollars in lobbying dollars last year. The NRA spent 4.1 million.

I don’t think it would have happened even if Vegas didn’t happen.
Agreed, Vegas just put the final dagger in it.

Any proposed legislation that says it will remove suppressors from the NFA is fluff.
The people who want and use suppressors already own them. The only people I see pushing for the HPA/HUSH/SHARE/Whatever are people who don't own suppressors because they think the Tax Stamp is violating their freedom or that registering NFA items is going to allow the government to find them and take everything they own.

If the tax is a sticking point, I say collect the tax but make suppressors a 4473 item and be done. I think it’s all the other red tape involved not the tax. Money isn’t the problem it’s the time. Just my opinion.
That's kinda the point. It's a punitive/luxury/sin tax designed to make it painful for most people to acquire one.
I am glad money isn't the problem for some but it is for me. I have more time than money so the wait doesn't bother me.

In today's world $200 isn't that big of an amount of money. However, back in the 30s it was HUGE and probably prevented most of the public from acquiring one.

The gov wants the tax and it’s a snowballs chance in hell that suppressors will ever be removed from the NFA. What I said was just a way the gov gets their tax and we get the item quicker. Time and tax or tax and no time? Believe me I’m not a rich person and I would prefer no tax but..... it’s all for nothing anyway. It was all a big pipe dream.
Suppressors are fairly simple devices with no precision moving parts and little hand assembly required compared to firearms. I agree the $200 tax is not that much but does a suppressor really cost more to produce than the firearm it is used on. In today's CNC machining world suppressors should be no more expensive than an AR bolt and carrier.

Outboard motors has always baffled me with their cost. But unless you are a beast with a set of oars it’s a must.
If they were a 4473 item they would be sold right next to regular guns and every tom dick and harry would own one. They would sell for 100 to 300 bucks and i know at least 2 dozen people who would put one on every gun they own, kinda like red dots and other pricey gun accesories. I fell like some people just cant understand how well they would sell if they were not restricted.

Gotta pay to play.
I don't care if they are regulated or have a tax, just speed up the approval time.
