[QUOTE="NikatKimber, post: 2947513, member: 423"] That's what this bill does, is remove it from the NFA ClassIII list, and make it a ClassI item which will transfer with a 4473 and a NICS check. Ultimately I don't see it affecting criminal use of silencers at all. Anyone who wanted to suppress the noise already can. It's a hassle and expensive, and it only stops the sound. People can still see the gun, the perp's face, voices of both the perp and the victim. And it makes it less concealable. No crook is going to pay a bunch of money for a can, and I doubt many have the interest in making their own (beyond taping a bottle to something, maybe); much less access to the machinery to do so. Basically, I don't see a suppressor as any different than a bipod or a scope. All make a weapon more efficient/effective in some way. All require the user to [I]already have a firearm.[/I] Exactly.
