Suppressors number 600,000 nationwide and are becoming more and more mainstream. To contrast the popularity of these NFA items, the ATF collected just $666,000 in transfer tax stamps on these items back in 1984. In 2013, the ATF collected $18.2 million in transfers! An increase of over 2,700 percent!
The story continues to says that suppressors are where AR's a few years ago. Not many had them most people didn't know much about them, what to get, how to get it, etc. Now it's becoming more and more the norm for people to acquire NFA items and the trend is only projected to continue to rise.

So with those kinda of numbers... why haven't you got your suppressor(s)?
