This is a great idea...until it passes and you can't find them in stock anywhere.  This passes and a few things will happen: 1. Demand will go through the roof, 2. Prices will go through the roof, and 3. The supply will dry up overnight.

So yeah...in concept, I am 100% in favor of this passing, but I can see the average person not really benefitting from it at all. ex. You'll have a handful of people running out and buying up all of the inventory they can find and flipping it for two or more times the purchase price.  

The one perk would be the wait time decreasing.  That and who knows...after the initial rush, producers might be able to crank out enough silencers that they can eventually start to get the prices down a bit (economies of scale).

Every machine shop in the country will start cranking out parts for 80% kits if they're kept as title 1 firearms, or complete suppressors if they're completely unregulated.  I know I've got two solvent traps waiting for me to either pay the $200 tax on each or for this to get passed.

We'll see. I can see it working out great in the long-term. However, in the short-term...I can see people getting frustrated over it (thinking they'll be able to run out and buy what they want).

Yes...there will be a flood of new $h1t on the market. However, if you want a good can from an established company...good luck with that.

I bought one this weekend. My point was more aimed at people that are waiting for this to pass...thinking: 1. It has a chance, and 2. They're actually going to be able to find a good silencer in stock at that point.

That is going to be the hurdle...finding democrats that are willing to commit political suicide by supporting this.  To liberals...the only reason that someone could possibly want a silencer is if they're up to no good.

Oh, I don't know...maybe people that are holding off on purchasing silencers at the moment because they think this is going to pass and that they'll be able to run out and buy what they want without a 7+ month wait.

There are apparently at least a few of them floating around out there, because my usual gun guy (....as I said...I ordered a silencer this weekend) had commented that multiple people had said to him that they were planning on waiting to see if this legislation gets passed.  His take was the same as mine...people that are waiting at the moment and planning on pulling the trigger the moment the legislation passes are going to be disappointed.

Those conditions would be temporary.  The market would respond.

And even if it didn't....freedom to own expensive suppressors is superior to heavy regulatory compliance to own cheap ones.

I'd like at least a couple more, so I definitely have a dog in this race.  It would be nice to be able to walk out the door with my next one instead of having to deal with the 7+ month ATF $h1t show.

I retract that...I DO have dogs in the race. Specifically $1800 worth of tax stamp refunds assuming that portion of the bill isn't sacrificed. (I went nuts on suppressors from fall 2015 through 41F implementation).

The second dog I have is the same as everyone else's here. Turning back the tide of 20th century 2nd Amendment infringement. This is the reason any temporary market constriction that comes from passage doesn't matter. Then once they're "in common use" (an argument can already be made that they are) they'll be that much more difficult for the neo-communists to ban outright.

Edit for clarity.

You should look around more.  We have had several threads on this topic, I have personally stated on this forum that in the short term demand will dry up and prices will skyrocket.  

But with companies like Ruger, and Smith and Wesson now ready to produce cans.  As well as companies with big time manufacturing capacity getting involved (PSA etc) it won't take long at all for the supply to catch up and we will all have $30 22lr cans.  


Also I think this version of the bill allows for imported suppressors.  If that is true there will be a flood of cheap Chinese stamped baffle cans over here as fast as the frickin boat can go.

Yes...there will be a flood of new $h1t on the market. However, if you want a good can from an established company...good luck with that.

I bought one this weekend. My point was more aimed at people that are waiting for this to pass...thinking: 1. It has a chance, and 2. They're actually going to be able to find a good silencer in stock at that point.  

I think it's just going to awesome overnight.  It might take years for the supply and demand to balance out.

Get back to me if and when this passes and you can't find anything you want in stock...then tell me how awesome this is.

I understand the source of your concern, but that's just not how capitalism works man.  There will be a FLOOD of manufaturers in the market and prices will DROP.  See: The Palmetto State Armory Effect
We'll see. I can see it working out great in the long-term. However, in the short-term...I can see people getting frustrated over it (thinking they'll be able to run out and buy what they want).

We should probably just give up then huh.

YEARS?

Are you fucking with us? Because it sounds like you're fucking with us.

Try six months. Suppressor companies can crank out a LOT of cans in a short period of time, they are very simple to make. Run the shop 16 hours a day, 6 days a week, hire some more help, and they can increase output in a short period of time. Bigger companies can do so in a heartbeat.

Suppressor companies aren't working at capacity as is, due to the limited market.

It's been "Placed on the Union Calendar, Calendar No. 224" I'm currently trying to figure out when/where it was placed.

Oh, I don't know...maybe people that are holding off on purchasing silencers at the moment because they think this is going to pass and that they'll be able to run out and buy what they want without a 7+ month wait.

There are apparently at least a few of them floating around out there, because my usual gun guy (....as I said...I ordered a silencer this weekend) had commented that multiple people had said to him that they were planning on waiting to see if this legislation gets passed.  His take was the same as mine...people that are waiting at the moment and planning on pulling the trigger the moment the legislation passes are going to be disappointed.

I'm not 12. I get that long-term it's a good thing.

Then shut the fuck up and get on board here. The long term on this one far outweighs your bullshit handwringing over a temporary market constriction.

Does this mean it's getting a straight up vote?

What I might do is write a few politicians and tell them to vote against this...just for you.  

Not really, but seriously...you come off as a real piece of work. Good luck with that.

I dont care how long there is a drought or how hard it is to find a can to buy.
I just want to be able to walk in, and back out with a can in the same day when I do find one.


Hell if nothing else I will start building my own until I can find a commercially produced one I like.

This is a great idea...until it passes and you can't find them in stock anywhere.  This passes and a few things will happen: 1. Demand will go through the roof, 2. Prices will go through the roof, and 3. The supply will dry up overnight.

So yeah...in concept, I am 100% in favor of this passing, but I can see the average person not really benefitting from it at all. ex. You'll have a handful of people running out and buying up all of the inventory they can find and flipping it for two or more times the purchase price.  

The one perk would be the wait time decreasing.  That and who knows...after the initial rush, producers might be able to crank out enough silencers that they can eventually start to get the prices down a bit (economies of scale).

Market demand and price don't matter when you build your own....

That's what I'm waiting for.
