Can't imagine the NYC assassination of the UHC CEO is going to make getting a suppressor any easier.

NYTimes has a headline "Manhattan Shooter Used a Silencer. Nearly 5 Million Are Registered in the U.S." You can guess the content.

That’s not going to happen either.
The Deep State is too deeply entrenched to be affected much by any reform measures.
This will be front and center of the national news by tomorrow. The anti's will be screaming for suppressors to be banned.
You very well may be correct. However if that happens it will be interesting to hear what logical fallacies the Registration Does Not Lead to Confiscation arguments will take. On the other hand, today I received notice that my application for a suppressor was approved by the ATF. So far the longest delay in the purchase process was it took the company from whom I purchased the suppressor two weeks to get me the fingerprint kit.
Reckon what they will say if they find out it is home made?

All the pushing in the world is not going to get suppressors legalized without a tax stamp and enhanced background check.
The regs might get loosened up a very little bit, but that’s it.
Suppressors are still very stigmatized by most people on both sides of the 2’nd Amendment issue.

And just after the street assination that took place up there with the shooter using a silencer most probably will never happen...

Within the lifetime of a 4-year presidency with mid-terms? Not a chance.

I wondered about that. Making a basic suppressor for one time use is not rocket surgery. The tricky part is having everything engineered so it attaches to the barrel properly. Think on that for a minute.

Never gave this much thought, but legal here as a hearing protection aid.

They are legal to own and hunt with here. Suppressors have been legal here for a long time, our Fish and Game dept convinced our then Democrat Governor to sign the law permitting them while hunting using the simple, poachers are willing to break that law just like the others.
Why our congress isn't smart enough to figure out those willing to commit murder are not going to worry if the gun and other equipment is legal is beyond me. But, then 99% of them are only concerned with who will give them the most campaign funds and how they can get more people to vote for them.

Politics has never been about reality. It is always about the perception of reality. Having and supporting pro-gun groups can force politicians to actually face reality.
The $200 tax stamp for a suppressor is negligible when you factor in the enjoyment of ownership. Just think how often you blow through $200 bucks and cant even remember what you spent it on a few days later. Like maybe 3 tanks of gas in my pick-up…

Just analysing this statement against American law generally, licensing is done (as with lawyers, for example, and doctors) so that the license can be revoked for bad behaviour. No person but a lawyer can practice law for a third party in California; it's how society ensures that qualified persons do the work. Do it poorly? Lose the license.

Another way to look at it is, $200 is way less than hearing aides the rest of your life.
When it comes to supressors, that logic doesn't work. Folks making a bad product will go out of business. Regulation isn't needed.

Would you be willing to pay a $200 tax every time you vote?
.. and poor folks hearing isn't as important as those with money..
