Tell me about suppresors

"So what happens on July 13"

Basically all named members of a trust will have to submit fingerprint cards, passport photos etc. as current non trust applicants for suppressors, SBR's full autos have to do.

At least some of you can get them. My great state of Delaware doesn't allow us to own them.

Whatever happened to the talk that rules were going to relax due to some hearing protection legislation?

I'm guessing I have a pretty good idea.

That legislation is moving very slowly, gaining co-sponsors but predicted not to have a chance of passage unless a different party is in the Oval Office. I would not hold my breath on that being the magic pill to allow ownership of suppressors. Congress can't get together (read "both" parties) on anything else so this is way down on the list of important issues.
My suppressors are under a trust and will change little under the new rules.
I will have to supply fingerprints and a passport photo to ATF along with the proper paperwork after the July deadline for any "new" purchases of suppressors.
The real problem is the public perception that suppressors are only used by criminals for nefarious purposes. Thank Hollywood and the anti-gun crowd for yet another misleading use of a viable object for both hearing protection and recoil reduction.
