I think it goes without saying that the primary obstacle to getting this one passed will be the widespread, almost universal belief that guns with silencers just go "pfft, pfft, pfft." Because of that, I strongly suspect this bill will be DOA.

1. You don't need the "which" in there.

2. It's a no-go, anyway. As it reads (assuming you mean (a)(1), not (A)(1), which doesn't exist), the entire section is repealed if any one item is removed. In regard to silencers (46.05 (a)(1)(D)), it should read:

46.05 (a)(1)(D) shall be repealed if any federal law, regulation, rule, order, or other directive removes the requirement of registration with the NFA for possession of a firearm silencer.

Personally, I'm also discomforted by the use of the word "silencer" here, although I'm probably grasping at straws. These devices aren't "silencers," not even close.
