Got this email from Silencerco this week.
My fellow Americans,
Tuesday’s Republican election victory was a tremendous win for our Second Amendment rights and it also marked a significant increase in the potential for the Hearing Protection Act to become law and remove silencers from the NFA registry. SilencerCo has been and will continue to be a vocal supporter of the HPA and advocate for it to become a priority in the legislative agenda for 2017.
As a member of The Suppressedâ"¢, you’ve likely thought to yourself, “Why are silencers still an NFA item?†SilencerCo has not only wondered this ourselves, but along with partners such as the American Suppressor Association, we’ve taken steps to support the introduction of legislation to remove silencers from the list of NFA items.
On October 22, 2015 the Hearing Protection Act was introduced. This piece of legislation is aimed at removing silencers from the NFA and instead having their transfer go through a traditional ATF Form 4473 â€" the same way you would purchase a standard rifle or pistol.
What does this mean for you?
No $200 tax stamp
No excessive wait times
No NFA trusts
No fingerprint cards, passport photos, or Chief Law Enforcement Officer notification
A simple process, just like when you purchase most firearms through your dealer
Even though the House, Senate, and Presidency will be controlled by like-minded advocates for the Second Amendment, bills take time to become laws and citizens should not be taxed for trying to protect their hearing while exercising their Second Amendment rights. Between now and the passage of this bill, we encourage our customers to continue to support the industry and to take advantage of the following provision: The Hearing Protection Act also includes a provision for all people who purchase a silencer between the time the bill is introduced (October 22, 2015) until the day it passes â€" should you purchase a silencer during that time, you will receive a $200 tax credit to cover the cost of any new silencer tax stamps you pay for.
This bill was initially championed by Rep. Matt Salmon (R-AZ) as its primary sponsor and since then has had multiple co-sponsors. SilencerCo, Rep. Salmon, and all supporters of the bill realize that this is a long-term effort and will not be something that happens overnight. With the help of people like you â€" The Suppressed â€" we will gain momentum and educate both the general public and lawmakers as to the true nature of silencers.
If you haven’t already joined The Suppressed, click HERE to add your voice to the cause and write to your Congressmen and women and Senators to voice your support for the HPA as a legislative priority for 2017.
Sincerely,
Josh Waldron
CEO, SilencerCo

HPA Hearing Protection Act. Has been mulling around for a while, but had no chance of being signed by Obama, so they never pushed it through. Many are hopeful Trump would sign it, but I haven't specifically heard him say he would.
Edit: Jesse beat me to it. His answer was better anyways.

It may have a chance but I seriously doubt they would refund the tax stamps from October 2015 until it passes. They love money.

I would honestly like to see them become unregulated completely. Many VERY liberal countries in Europe require hunters to use them. Why should it be hard to buy safety equipment here?

If it does pass it'll be interesting to see what happens to the suppressor market. If they're no longer a huge PITA to get, I think you'll see cheaper units. I'm told that in countries that require suppressors for hunting, you can buy disposable ones for pretty cheap.
I think you'll see a lot of cheaper lesser quality suppressors available, especially for .22lr.dr poopgiggle said:
I don't think you'll see much flux in the price of suppressors of the quality we currently have. The cost isn't really inflated on those we currently see on the market. The materials like titanium & iconel, etc, aren't cheap & neither are the tooling & machine resources that goes into turning that material into suppressor components.

Think you could send your kid to the store for a few pieces of metal and ship them to me? ðŸ™"slemmo said:
I guess you're the one going to jail for it so sure, no problem! I take full payment in advance on paypal.
On a side note, in Sweden they are licensed, as far as other euro countries I'm not sure. But for something that just helps reduce noise, it's completely baffling (haha) that you can't buy them unregulated everywhere.

I can't wait until suppressors are cheaper than Anderson Mfg. lowers.

I'd like to be able to experiment with making my own and not have to do paperwork and pay $200 for each attempt.

I think if more people buy them, and more get made, then *it's possible* that you'll see prices on current models decrease due to economies of scale.Wall said:
Possible but again the cost of material & tooling isn't changing. Maybe the can shave a little cost by increasing the volume at each process in production. It'll be interesting to see (that's IF the HPA passes).dr poopgiggle said:
Looking at what silencerco silencers cost on Brownells I can tell you that Norwegian made silencers cost half of that over here, which is weird because everything gun related is usually half the price in the US compared to here. And these are very good silencers, sold all over the world: http://www.a-tec.no/
