Get a suppressor in 90 days or fewer!!!
That is the thinking behind Congressman Greg Steube (R-FL-17) new bill, “H.R. 6126 – the End the Normalized Delay of Suppressors (ENDS) Act.”
In
troduced last month, the ENDS Act would cap suppressor transfer times at 90 days, meaning as long as the prospective purchaser wasn’t denied during the National Firearms Act (NFA) process, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) would have to automatically approve the transfer after 90 days.
No more insane wait times! Currently, some purchasers can wait up to 18 months before getting their can.
“I have personally experienced the unnecessary delay of a suppressor application and as a member of Congress, I have met with many Floridians who have also experienced similar delays,” said Congressman Steube in a press release. “A policy of delay, delay, delay is unacceptable and frankly violates the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding gun owners.”
The bill makes perfect sense and falls in line with existing law. Under the Brady Act, for example, there is a “default to proceed” provision that allows a licensed firearms dealer to complete a gun transfer if the FBI doesn’t complete the buyer’s background check within three business days.
ENDS Act would apply that same logic to suppressors because a right delayed is a right denied.

Suppressors should be completely removed from the NFA list and completely unregulated (other than normal requirements that all products are subject to). Still, I’ll take a 90 day rule if that’s all we can get.
It’s a nice thought, but how do you get this past a Democratic House majority?
Get a Republican House majority.
We had as Republican House majority; that jack-wagon Paul Ryan betrayed us all and made sure nothing meaningful - legislation that could have passed and made a significant difference - got accomplished. He deserves to be forever shunned because of his actions.
How about just removing suppressors from the NFA? It’s a health issue. Suppressors should be standard equipment with most firearms.
Yes, that is all true except you’re being much too kind to Paul Ryan.
