Interesting take on suppressors and Trumps opinion..

Yep. It doesn’t matter who is in the WH. They all will try to limit it in some way. The 86’ ban happened under Regan and that has been the most egregious one yet.

There is something to be said about that, but the "'86 Machinegun Ban" was the result of negotiations between the Dems and Reps in Congress. The "Firearm Owners Protection Act" was going thru Congress and a lot of folks (plus the NRA) wanted to see it pass. Its intent was to rein in an out-of-control BATF that was abusing dealers and entrapping gun owners to violate GCA '68.

There were not enough votes to ensure passage unless a few left-leaning Democrats supported it. Machineguns were placed on the sacrificial altar to placate them. I didn't renew with the NRA for years following that. I thought that they sold us out on that one....
