Fire in a theatre presents a clear and immediate danger to the public and can cause immediate harm. Same with bomb in an airport. Buying a suppressor does not oresent a clear or immediate danger not cause immediate harm. A better analogy for the 2nd amendment would be open carry, which is often banned in certain places and has more restrictions. Buying 27 suppressors is closer to buying a lot of offensive t-shirts.
