I refuse to jump through all those hoops to have something that should be easy to have. Come on NRA.

What stops a guy from making his own, in the legal sense ?

The idea of having a simple piece of steel set aside as an investment for rich snobs solely by government protectionism should rankle any modern patriot.

*I feel I must clarify. I do not think the $200 tax stamp needed for a suppressor limits them to rich snobs. However, in 1933 when the $200 tax stamp was made law, it was only for rich snobs. While a tax stamp is easily financially attainable (because of inflation), the price of automatic weapons of class blah blah blah are hugely over priced because of lack of supply. The supply is artificially kept low by protectionism and taken advantage of by investors who-once invested-have a pretty keen interest in keeping the government protectionism in place. They look like weapon enthusiasts on the outside, but are only enthusiastic about their privilege.
