Government Regulated Silencers, Now We’re Deaf! Time to Sue.
About this video
Colion argues that the federal government caused widespread hearing damage among gun owners by making suppressors nearly inaccessible for 90 years through the National Firearms Act. He traces the history of suppressors from their 1902 invention as safety devices to their restrictive regulation in 1934, claiming the $200 tax was designed to price Americans out of their rights rather than generate revenue. While celebrating the recent elimination of the tax stamp, Colion contends the registry requirement still represents government control and calls for complete removal of suppressors from NFA regulation.
Key takeaways
- Colion reports that suppressors were invented in 1902 as hearing protection devices and were sold over the counter until 1934, when he says the NFA taxed them to limit access rather than for revenue
- According to Colion, suppressors do not make guns silent like in movies—a suppressed rifle still produces 130-140 decibels (jackhammer-level noise)—and law enforcement experts he cites said the suppressor in the 2019 Virginia Beach shooting had no bearing on lethality
- Colion teaches that while the 2025 elimination of the $200 tax stamp is a victory, the registry and Form 4 requirements remain, which he views as government control that enables potential future confiscation
