The issue is there is that gun laws are difficult to get rid of even when it's proven to be ineffective or unneccesary
One time I ordered something and I had to go through the same paperwork and as if I was buying a belt fed machine gun, including a $200 tax stamp, paperwork, fingerprints etc. After that was filed I went home and waited seven months for the ATF to process and approve that paperwork. Not a wait period, that's just how long it takes for the bureucracy takes to function.
After all that time I finally was able to take home what I had bought I, a suppressor for a .22 pistol so I can teach new shooters without shouting through their hearing protection. That rule has been in place since the 1930s
Luigi Mangione's suppressor was 3D printed and the only crime I've ever seen committed with one
Electronic hearing protection is fantastic for just this reason; no one has to shout. (Except at indoor ranges where you have to double up. I'd forgotten how loud those get...)
Indoor is obnoxious! Electronic is great but not very common with new shooters. Why spend the extra money if you don't know if you'll use it very often?
