suppresser and other NFA firearms legalization in Delaware

The Issue

I want to legalize suppresser and other NFA firearms in the state of Delaware. There are 11 states that don't allow the purchase of suppressers to citizens that don't have a FFL. Suppressers are used in other parts of the country to stop sound pollution at outdoor ranges and to help facilitate other forms of hearing protection. They can also be used in hunting to not disturb the surrounding environment and wildlife. Suppressers are also good for home defense dampening the noise so that children are not disoriented by being woken by a loud sound and keeping the home owner sound and alert to make the proper depictions while defending their home and family. I want other NFA firearms legalized like SBS (short barrel shotgun) and machine guns. SBS can be used for home defense and by disabled people that can hunt but can't lift a full size shotgun. Machine guns can be used for hunting hogs and can make a large economic contribution to the state by allowing manufacturers to get military and law enforcement contracts.
