With the election of Trump, there is a real possibility suppressors will be removed from the list of class three devices and would be treated by federal law as an ordinary firearm.

Lest we forget, Texas law prohibits silencers unless they have an NFA stamp:

Sec. 46.05. PROHIBITED WEAPONS. (a) A person commits an offense if the person intentionally or knowingly possesses, manufactures, transports, repairs, or sells:
(1) any of the following items, unless the item is registered in the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record maintained by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives or classified as a curio or relic by the United States Department of Justice:
(A) an explosive weapon;
(B) a machine gun;
(C) a short-barrel firearm; or
(D) a firearm silencer;

It would be a tragedy if federal was reformed, but state law was not. We could find ourselves in a catch 22 situation where Texans can only own NFA silencers which are no longer available. We could be locked out of the silencer market until the state legislature acts.

I think that repeal of 46.05(a)(1)(D) should be a high priority for the 2017 session.
