How could we word a bill?
I am thinking the “The Noise Pollution Reduction Act” or Hearing Protection Act of 20fill in the blank"
Never going to happen.
With the advent of the Silencerco Maxim, I could potentially see a demand for these among LEA’s, eventually I can see police unions basically demanding these for hearing safety concerns. If an integrally suppressed pistol becomes mainstream in law enforcement, I could see the day suppressors get removed legislatively (and maybe SBRs; fingers crossed there).
Disband ATF. 
Not a chance.
Easy, Just put OHSA in charge.
They’ll make suppressor use mandatory with a 10 year prison sentence for each cartridge discharged without a suppressor.
:rolleyes:
The ATF doesn’t control whether they are NFA or not.
One would be that they are mainstream, really mainstream. You need to get rid of the Hollywood “assassin’s tool” stigma.
You’d have to get current owners to not demand their $200 back per suppressor.
Your method of attack? Suppressors are listed as a “firearm”. In nfa, “firearm” is defined. Suppressors do not fit the qualification, they never have.
All that said, I wouldn’t hold my breath.
They are not going to want to give up the “free” $200 per unit they are getting now. When you look at how popular suppressors have become, it’s easy to see this is a lot of money.

A guy can dream of a no ATF America, like the one our founding fathers intended.
More over think about the savings cost in the way of hearing damage the unions have to shell out.
Said the same thing about Heller/McDonald.
How about we work to make it a reality instead of just dream of it?
If a person is not willing to restore Liberty for the simple cost of $200 while other greater men gave everything they had and will ever have truly they are the greediest, most damnable fools this side of Hell.
The actual NFA law would have to be changed for it to happen = two houses of congress and the president would have to sign it.
May be a can of worms to go there.
The getting rid of the stigma part is tough, especially when people like Bill Mahrer squawk about certain red states allowing suppressors for hunting. That said, if, somehow, the hipster homesteader movement got into the whole hunting as sustainable food source idea, maybe then there might be a chance…a snowball’s chance, but it’s more than what we have now. IIRC, suppressors are [b]mandatory[/b] for hunters in Scandinavia. Seems people there are more concerned with the noise pollution, hearing safety, and the racket caused by hunters harvesting moose. Those Nords must be crazy!
That’s a joke, right?
Bring up the crime rate even with suppressors. Bring up the lower rates of hearing damage.
This.
No, not that. It’s about control, not money. They can print money, they can’t print control.
No,This
We are already on that path. Mainstream use, local and state de-regulation, full acceptance by hunting community.
Exactly. If it was about money, MJ would have a $200 tax on it.
