You mis-state the facts. Suppressors (the legal name - they don't "silence" anything) are already legal. The proposed bill does not "make them legal." What it does do is remove the $200 tax on purchasing one.
The purpose of a tax should be to raise money for the government. It should not be to punish people of to control the sale of anything. A tax should not target a specific group of people.
