The abolition of the CAB in 1985 would not have happened without the deregulation of the airline industry by Jimmy Carter with his strong support of the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978. That is what really freed up the airline business. I'm no Carter fan overall, but give the man his due for this and for deregulating the trucking industry.
Question, and I apologize if this is a dumb question and I have been misinformed by video games
> Integral suppressors. As Mitch said, if these come off the NFA too, everyone will want to put them on a short barrel gun in order to keep overall length at a reasonable level.
Don't suppressors wear out pretty quickly with use? If a suppressor is integrated into the rest of the rifle, what happens when it wears out? Is it a giant pain in the ass to fix/replace? Is an 'integral suppressor' more than just a regular suppressor built in to the frame (eg some kind of separate gas system designed into the weapon that makes it naturally suppressed)? Or am I just wrong and suppressors don't wear out like that?
I've shot a suppressed weapon exactly once, a friend's gucci'd out SCAR. I don't know if all suppressed weapons are like this or if he's just bad at amateur gunsmithing, but the gas backblast was so unpleasant it made me stop after a few shots. So I know next to nothing about them
modern suppressors won't wear out so easily and can generally be dismounted from a firearm for cleaning, even integrally suppressed ones.
As for the gas blowback, this is why flow-through suppressors are getting so popular today. Otherwise you need to adjust the gas system to account for the higher backpressure.

Airline deregulation was so awesome for society and people don’t talk about it enough.
Agreed, my 12 y.o. son was asking me about different Presidents and this was my one good thing about Carter as president.
Yes, and Carter did all that de-regulation for all the right reasons.
