What would Feb have made a difference on?

"Silencers" / noise suppression reduce sound mainly at the shooter by tens of decibels, so from levels that wreck your hearing to levels that merely play havoc with your hearing. They don't "silence" a gun so nobody can here it - unless you are in Hollywood (sarc).
I would prefer not needing to register with ATF and pay $200 to buy a suppressor and reduce the impact on my ears. But it is illegal for me to own one in RI and I do not own one.

So I am OK with autos being banned (they are) but would like to see silencers allowed - for my hearing.
I would enjoy an opportunity to fire full auto for grins and giggles - or a bump stock. I don't own a bump stock and have no desire to get one.
I CANNOT LEGALLY purchase an auto without jumping through a lot of paperwork and have no desire to do so.
