"We won."

Eh?
Guns don’t kill, silencers do!
It’s about time we got rid of this foolishness.
It’s an easy sell, really. All those outdoor gun ranges that are noise problems could simply implement silencer rules. Counties and cities could easy enforce them.
Will it preempt state laws?
If they’re $20 other places, why do they cost $500-$1200 here even before I pay the tax stamp? Grrr.
What kind of stupidity is that?
Because government intrusion has distorted the market.
Question about silencers: Do they interfere with performance??
article is incorrect, silencers were not part of 1934 NFA, they were added to NFA in 1938. They were added incorrectly and as such are not subjected to the cross state line notification forms like mg, sbr and sbs are required to do. I expect sloppy writing from the msm, it would be nice if experts actually knew the subject
Well, sho would be nice. Count me in for this “common sense” legislation !
It can, but usually not by much. This can be both a positive/negative impact.
In New Jersey, a BB Gun or Sling Shot carry the same regulations as a hand gun
caught with one without a proper license or CCW, and you are facing 10 years mandatory sentence
Insanity
In other words, yes, they do affect the weapon's performance, but the effects are manageable. Makes practicing at an indoor range actually pleasant.
How about repeal of the NFA. Maybe the best chance in our lifetime. Screw the gun grabbers and snowflakes.
Along with fooling around building mufflers freedom, I want my incandescent light bulbs back too.
So, your are calling partly fake news here. Good Call!
Where we live someone is always firing a weapon of some sort, mostly a rifle. And it’s all hours of the day and night.
I do not have a problem with this. None, zero. We live in the woods, and I’d rather know when someone is firing a rifle. Typically it’s hunting or varmint control.
I see not using a silencer as a good thing, whereas if someone is shooting a weapon when I’m out in the woods, I will know enough to keep out of that persons way.
Also, we do not allow hunting on the same lot our home is on for obvious safety reasons. For those wondering what, it’s to reduce the possibility of someone taking aim at a deer with our home as a backstop in case he misses.
The same applies to criminals. I’d rather hear the gunshots going off at the liquor store for plenty of obvious reasons, such as a warning to call the cops, such as a warning to stay away, or as a notice to draw my own firearm and take care of business.
And then we have poachers. These folks will still ply their trade, silencers or none, but having them makes it easier. Easier to take a deer out of season just about anyplace.
So personally, I’m against silencers.
