Except the right to bear arms is provided in the Constitution’s 2nd Amendment, abortion “rights” are not provided for in the Constitution.

Let’s see a link proving it’s incorrect.
it is a fact that the hearing protection act cannot get thru the Senate as a stand-alone bill without going thru the filibuster process. I can't imagine why you'd claim that's not true

Hello all, here is today's article posted on TheArmoryLife.com. It is titled “Hearing Protection Act: Are Silencers Legal Now?” and can be found at https://www.thearmorylife.com/hearing-protection-act-are-silencers-legal-now/.
Man, I hope so. It's a travesty to have to pay more for a suppressor than you did for the actual firearm (which is a far more complex device) and THEN have to pay another $200 on top of that to Uncle Sam.
Yeah okay buddy if you say so, then it must be true! It’s the largest redistribution of wealth in our Country, but m444ss doesn’t agree so all the hundreds of scholars must be all wrong! I make it a point in my life not to argue with internet experts in chat rooms!

The largest redistribution of wealth in this country is progressive income tax.
Based on your arguments I can understand why

Yeah. They are. Every other thing you can call a right can be taken away via an act of congress.
The Author says: “Freedom Adverse States”? I thought that states rights which would include 2A rights are enacted by those in power in those states. So how exactly is saying Freedom Adverse States correct? These States have voted for their representatives who in turn make the 2A laws. That would be the EXACT definition of a Free State. I cannot mention any other laws besides 2A or my post will get deleted but there are MANY laws enacted under State’s Rights.
Yes Silencers would be very beneficial for those shooters with disabilities. However the DOJ and current administration have gutted the civil rights division which would handle these 2A and ADA combined cases. Pushing for protection of hearing from shooting sports would be a DOJ issue but would fall under DEI and therefor not enforced. As career Infantry and Combat my hearing matters now more than ever to me. But as someone who specializes in Disability Rights, I can’t envision any DOJ protection for shooting safety!Hello all, here is today's article posted on TheArmoryLife.com.

Yeah, because there are no (blue) states currently infringing on the 2A rights of its citizens.

That’s absolutely retarded.
You definitely need to go back to not arguing on chat boards. You’re bad at it.

I heard if it passes, the commie states will outlaw them. I didn't read all the details, but AR15 forum had something on the subject. AR15 banned me and I don't live in a commie state, so not that much interest. Commie state gun nuts wanted silencers to stay on NFA so they can buy them in their commie states...or some such thing.
I don't think Senate will take silencers off NFA. But I don't know. I got a number of silencers but stopped buying them a decade ago. I can use another 8-10, but I won't buy them unless no NFA. I don't want to be on any more lists or at least move my name back to the top after it has been buried for some time.
Silencers are needed for CQB. If you shoot your gun in the house or car with no can, your ears will be damaged. Silencers are just a basic tool that should not be regulated any more than a recoil pad. But that is how the filthy politicians have deemed them to be.
Car seat gun...not trunk gun.
Very quiet in the car cabin. Trunk gun does no good if you are driving and can't get at it; shoot it with 1 hand or maneuver it in the car cabin. I can shoot this with 1 hand if need be while driving.
Very compact, even with can. 50 rounds and no magazine footprint. It would be nice if shells ejected down instead of a passenger's face. And it had 35-40 grain armor piercing and price was cheaper for gun.
...but can't have everything.

Suppressors are legal in 41 states, pretty much all of them require NFA approval. I think Texas is the only state without that requirement as long as the suppressor is made in Texas. I could be wrong. The other 9 states don’t allow them whether they are an NFA item or not. There are also states that have banned the AR15 and “high capacity” magazines. So yes, there are states infringing on the citizen’s 2A rights granted in the Constitution.

And unless a “right” is granted in the Constitution, it is a privilege and subject to the laws of Congress or the States.
Respectfully disagree. Rights pre-exist the current constitution. Neither it, nor the government created by it, grant rights.
The Founders knew this:
"...all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness..." - Declaration of Independence
Further, the rights specifically listed in the current constitution are not all encompassing:
"The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people." - Ninth Amendment

It would be nice to upgrade from pistol-braced to SBR without paying the "freedom" tax. I own all five SA Saint pistol models, as well as new production HK SP5 and SP5K models. Would love to be able to bolt inexpensive pieces of plastic to them that don't cost an extra $200 each.
