YEP! Every Tom Dick and Harry are foing to be making and selling them! I expect prices to plummet! Anyone think im wrong?
I'm going to guess that prices will go down, but not plummet. I'm sure you will be able to buy some "disposable" supressors for cheap, but I would expect the big name quality supressors to stay within 10-20% of their current prices. There is an elasticity to every product, and companies know what they can and should get for their products.

You're forgetting one key ingredient to this whole pckage. The left as a whole does not base decisions on facts, rather emotions; supressors are actually scary noise removers that increase velocity as well as bullet weight, making the gun even more lethal. Supressors also add a heat seeking ability to the rounds fired. Haha but seriously, arguing solely on facts (which should be the case 100% of the time) does nothing for the left.
Maybe we need to make the argument on their intellectual level.

I know those loud guns are scary. So we are going to make them quiet. That way they will be less scary. But this is only the first step. We are also working to require that all guns be painted in rainbow colors and play a reassuring song whenever they are fired.

Maybe instead of reducing sound signature, if the supressor could convert the noise into the "I love you" barney song
