The problem with this is you'll be paying $200 on taxes, just fair warning you will be "stuck" with the purchase because the $200 is for each not for all you buy, so if you do shell out the $200 make sure you go big on the wallet and purchase a good suppressor otherwise you'll be kicking your own arse. This sucks because its still for the rich.
Hey Bun,
Maybe we should support the progressive ideolgy you seem to infer, of the re-distribution of wealth and create an entitlement program for suppressors, so that we can all have equal access based on income.
1. First time homebuyers (not the rich)...$8,000 tax relief, plus one time access to IRA funds for downpayments without penalty (which are for the most part, not many or much)
2. Access to IRA retirement income before 59.5 (not the rich, but the wise)...10%
additional tax penalty
3. Anyone who still happens to have a job...2% reduction in SS tax for one year
4. Anyone who is
collecting SS income...no cost of living increases for (the past) three years, since we all know that $3.90 for a gallon of gas (not grown here) is only temporary and corn prices are controlled by the gov't (grown here) and food prices haven't really been impacted...except a loaf of bread is mostly $3.00 now
5. A progressive income tax structure so that the more you make, the more you pay (serious redistribution) and the bottom 50% of tax payers pay a total of only 2.7% of the federal income tax (

It could be like....a RKBA value added sales tax on like, lottery tickets, or 1/100% of a dollar on state sales tax (who could hate that), with 50% dedicated to retrofitting the current outdoor shooting ranges to remove the unneeded noise reduction baffles for those clubs with membership rosters that have over 50% owning silencers (remember its for the kids and the community)...or better yet, a renewal date for LCCP holders changing it from 5 years to 3 years to increase revenue from the gun community as a "user fee" based program that also included mandatory income information, based on previous year tax returns and then like, establish a lottery system based on a "quick draw" raffle that would pick out 10% of the eligible license holders (income based) and give them a coupon like food stamps so that they could go and pick out the noise suppressor of their choice (but like food stamps that don't allow you to buy smokes and booze (social tinkering), it would also have to exclude certain types of firearms (more behavior modification).
On the one hand, I'm actually just glad that a bill passed but am really quite disappointed that many of the other bits of legislation that would have had an bigger impact on a lot more gun owners never saw the light of day........
.....I also need to find out how much it will cost in addition to all of this, how much it will cost to get my barrel retro fitted, threaded or replaced to be able to accept a unit and then understand how many rounds I can shoot before it wears out and I can send the feds another $200 bucks to get it replaced....uh, maybe I'll just upgrade my hearing protection and buy a whole new hand gun....
...excuse me now, I must go and get another cup of coffee.....maybe a Venti, triple, skinny vanilla,no foam.....for $5.65 cents...and a "morning bun" for $1.85 from our most fav, meeting place.
