Ok so I am confused. This bill legalizes silencers, as in they were illegal in TN before this.
But that isn't true either. hickok45 has suppressors on his channel and I looked and found quite a few TN firearm dealers that sold silencers.
So can someone explain this? Is this just a cleaning up of a law that was never enforced? Was it a cleaning up of a law because years ago someone found a loophole and instead of closing the loophole, TN got rid of the law?

Yesterday, Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam signed a bill into law decriminalizing the manufacture and possession of firearm suppressors in the state. The new law not only removes a layer of state regulation, it will help foster an environment hostile to federal gun control in Tennessee.
Sen. Steve Southerland (R-Morristown) introduced Senate Bill 921 (SB921) earlier this year. Titled the “Tennessee Hearing Protection Act,” the new law repeals current Tennessee statutes prohibiting the possession, manufacture, transport, repair, or sale of firearm “silencers,” more appropriately referred to as “suppressors.”
