[Kirk Freeman]

The Hill (D.C. inside politics newspaper) comes out in favor of moving suppressors to Title I.

Very good news.

I like the opinion piece and props to them for printing it.

But for crying out loud could they not have found a picture or two of some actual suppressors to illustrate it with, instead of a stock photo of a wall full of OMG assault rifles?

This is really good news. I've been debating on buying one and if this goes through I'll be a happy camper.

My M&P 22 needs a suppressor that THE MAN hasn't held for ransom.

So what dose this mean for us in the near future. Are they going to pass it anytime soon? Im going to get one in 30 cal amd get an adapter for 5.56 so i can switch it back and forth from my 300blk

Don't use the proposal for inactivity. Go buy your suppressor.

I tried to read the text of the House and Senate bills and got lost.

The state preemption part I understand, the states cannot make suppressors illegal or more regulated than the federal law under these bills.

The rest, I don't see the part where they are now just random pieces of metal. Or, do the bills make them similar to "firearms"?
