I pulled the trigger on another suppressor 3weeks ago because I knew this would be the case. Beyond that, if it did make it into law there would be 90 days before it went into effect, as well as a huge run on suppressors possibly causing a shortage for a year or more. Just wasn’t worth the wait. My approval took 3days.

You know what probably won't be in short supply.....lathes and tooling.

The people that were holding off on buying a suppressor to avoid spending $200 are not the people that are going to be buying lathes and tooling on a whim lol
