However, due to the logistics involved (not every firearm can physically support a suppressor), I think that'd be quite unreasonable. Not that that's ever stopped an anti from pushing shitty legislation. Ah, very interesting point Ian.

That's a $200 tax; potentially per weapon. I can see that happening. Say we require silencers, but don’t get tehm out from under GCA ’34. That’s a $200 tax; potentially per weapon.

I assume it's that we don't want to emulate their gun laws overall, but it's OK to emulate what works while discarding that which doesn't. Ian, I’m curious to know your view.

There's a problem with noting that they are required safety equipment in some countries - I leave it to the reader to figure out why. May have to take baby steps in this as well.

The problem isn't the tax, it's the costs of complying with the regulations, and the lack of economies of scale that you would normally get if it were unregulated and there was more of a mass market.

Sweden = automatically good to perhaps the majority of Leftists who are hardest to convince, so at very least you'll get amusing cognitive dissonance.
