On Tuesday the Iowa House concurred with the Senate, and a bill to allow the sale of suppressors in the state is now on its way to Governor Terry Branstad’s (R) desk.

Titled the Hearing Protection Act, the bill focuses on the health benefits suppressors provide by protecting the hearing of people who shoot on a consistent basis. According to NRA-ILA the bill also looks at the benefits beginner shooters gain from a quieter shot and less recoil, therefore less “flinch.”

THIS is what ‘common sense gun laws’ look like!!!!

Amen.

I just submitted paperwork for my 3rd suppressor today.. . .. . why this caught my eye.

[MeganC]

I live in Wyoming. We don’t have to waste time with paperwork.

Aren't suppressors on guns a federal area of law?

[RightOnTheBorder]

Enough states have come to their senses regarding supressors. It would be nice if the Feds would stop making ownership so onerous.

[Red in Blue PA]

Yes, but 11 or so states still ban suppressors

That number is getting nearer to zero thankfully, as it should be

[RightOnTheBorder]

Paperwork is for the feds, not the state. Suppressors are an NFA type II devices which require a federal tax stamp and a lot of red tape.

[Red in Blue PA]

Class III you meant?

[MeganC]

Like I said; I live in Wyoming. We don’t have to waste time with paperwork.

You go buy an oil filter and use an adapter to put it on your rifle and then do your thing. No one hears it and around here there’s no one to report it anyway. That’s kind of the point in living here.

Kind of a stupid risk to take; the penalty is 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine if caught

All of that risk could be eliminated for a mere $200

I don’t like paying the stupid tax either, but no way in hell would I take such a risk

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

But, with a silencer on it the revolver only goes “fft”, and the semi-auto only goes “fft”! The movies said so!

[RandallFlagg]

I kinda enjoy driving from Denver to Wyoming to stock up on normal capacity magazines.

[MeganC]

Pretty sad state of affairs that we’re supposed to live in fear of our government for exercising an enumerated and incorporated right.

[Red in Blue PA]

I agree about the sad state of affairs but there are good risks and bad risks

[Gen.Blather]

What a suppressor sounds like...

Whoever said that freedom was easy?

[Myrddin]

I don't own any cans yet, but the new one from Ruger for 22LR has a reserved spot on the muzzle of my rabbit rifle. I want one for my 300 BLK as well. Not ready to put the money on ice for 6 months right now. My last Form 1 and Form 4 took 4 month and 5 1/2 months to process.
