Default Suppressors Lack 2A Protection?

It will be interesting to see how this one plays out. Seems like a elephant size contradiction, DOJ claiming suppressors lack 2A protection, but they are treated as worst of the worst NFA items. If the DOJ is correct, should they be delisted from NFA and treated as the tin cans that they are? But if they are treated that way, can they be banned at will because they are not protected by the 2A? Interesting dilemma.

Suppressors are a hearing protection device. Nothing more. But too many folks have watched too many TV shows, so there is a level of public opinion that follows no logic.

Lots of those folks feel like the US should be more like Europe. Countries over there require suppressors at shooting ranges. Go figure.
