I am very much interested in suppressors. I have already suffered from hearing loss (from a one-time event 25 years ago). I religiously wear ear protection, but my hearing dog cannot which means he's not with me, and well, the bottom line is gun noise sucks. I would put suppressors on all my guns, even my CCW, and would never go back to non-suppressed guns if I was given freedom in this area. I do realize they don't silence guns and that hearing protection is still necessary with the great majority of ammo which is supersonic, but I would still go suppressed all-the-way.
The problem is not threats from liberal politicians to ban them, but that the NFA already demands submission to unreasonable infringements. Maybe I just need to be convinced that submission is better than to simply demur for a lack of a better choice.
The cost of submission is not insignificant. Silencers are ridiculously over-priced due to the restricted market and the compact ones that are even remotely practical for carry use wipes that I cannot easily renew from spares because those would be regulated silencer parts, which means I would have to buy several cans for one gun and routinely pay to have the wipes renewed. Were they not regulated, wipes would be cheap and user-replaceable.
Convince me the hassle, expense, and submission of forming a trust, the vetting, paying the tax stamps, buying several silencers, and constantly paying to have them serviced is a better exercise of freedom than not doing any of that and shooting loud.
