Any machinist can make one, and probably for a lot less.

People have even designed 3d printable one-piece suppressors at this point, no mesh or other filling materials required.
More importantly, this isn't a burning issue unless your an ammosexual who needs to scream about guns every 30 minutes or the shell-casings that make up your grey-matter start to bulge with pressure, or someone who thinks suppressors are like magic death sticks that make guns even scarier. This is a moderately successful attempt at creating more distraction and contentious social discourse.
Just scroll down, there are already hundreds of gun-obsessed lefties and libs even on Lemmy screaming back and forth about this like it's going to change the world and lead to more/less murders.
Meanwhile... the bandits continue to haul money out of our treasury, the laws that protect us are getting repealed, and the tools we needed to build a better democracy are being destroyed, all while the worldwide economy leaves the US behind.
I made one with a pvc, filled with layers of drywall repair mesh held together with pipe clamps. It's nice to being able to .22 plink at night. Not registering it even if there's no tax. Currently working on an even more naughty gun project. Didn't file taxes this year either.
I just don't care anymore now that they're sending citizens and non-citizens alike to federal concentration camps to await horrible fates. There's nothing to lose anymore.
Just remember PVC shrapnel won't show up on an X-ray if that thing goes pop

Owning and knowing how to safely use a firearm is an US right. I don't agree with the current interpretation of the 2nd Amendment, but the Supreme Court said so, and nobody asked me.
I'd encourage anyone here to seriously look into purchasing a gun and a silencer.
Also, a silencer won't save your ears. Guns are still super loud and a lot of bullets are supersonic. Get a can and some hearing protection and use both.
Of course, a lot of that probably depends on where you live.

Dat settler-colonial insecurity runs deep.
The bill also drops the National Firearms Act fee on short barrelled guns. Fucking good! The shorter the barrel, the slower and less accurate the bullet/pellets. A sawed off shotgun is hilariously ineffective. So why are less dangerous guns highly restricted? The NFA was specifically written to fuck with the Italian Mafia.
Remember kids! Guns laws always have their roots in racism!
Know what really grinds my gears? Blacks, women and LGBT folks have been the largest gun purchasing demographic for the past several years. Wait...
Did y'all think you were just baggin' on white rednecks? Some of you suburban white kids didn't get the memo?
Know why California has the most strict, and idiotic and ineffective, guns laws? Because those buh-lacks were patrolling with open weapons to protect their neighborhoods from the pigs.
Notice how everyone protesting ICE is unarmed? Because ICE is only hitting unarmed populations.
WhErE mY 2a PeEps aT?!
Right fucking here, where ICE isn't.
Your head. Your ass. Remove the former from the later.
