Shooter appeared absolutely calm and collected, not in any hurry. He just walked through the whole thing until he ran across the street.

This is the pistol they are now reporting he used:
This updated, integrally suppressed pistol features a new grip and updated magazines, yet maintains its non-descript appearance, whisper-quiet sound signature and unique rotating bolt operation. This model in 9mm wears a 3-in. barrel. It finds its operational success as a magazine-fed, non-auto-ejecting single-shot functioning in a rotational bolt action. It is beautifully enhanced by wipe suppressor, and a baffled suppressor is an available option for those who prefer that design

Anyone ever own or operate one of these? Not asking for the cops

I'm watching the video of the shooter and it sure looks like his weapon has a spring snapping the bolt shut. I think their guess on the B&T Station Six being the gun is wrong. That is a manual rotating bolt that would need to be turned, pulled, pushed closed, and turned to lock. A much slower process from what the video seems to show. Also there would be no smoke from the chamber until it was opened manually.
If he's operating a semi auto with a slide and didn't know what ammo to use that would cycle with a suppressor then he's no pro or even a reasonably experienced shooter. His hits also suggest inexperience in my opinion.

Who makes that? Doesn't appear to be your normal hobbyist fare.
Actually no you don't, we already have a multitude of restrictions on firearms in this country and still have plenty of crime. Additionally the bump stock ban directly lead to the ATF going after pistol braces and home made firearms.
Just remember that rabbit hole is never ending, just look at Australia where pump action shotguns are banned as having no sporting purpose and larger cartridges like the 28 Nosler and .340 Weatherby are banned as because they can shoot far and go through bullet proof vests.
Also Glock switches are already completely illegal, you can thank good old China for shipping them into the US via wish.com.
Except it isn't one of those or the guy wouldn't have dropped 3 live rounds. That's someone at the NYPD scouring the internet for info and going off on a wild goose chase based on random stuff posted online. The one plus is that such firearms are pretty rare due to their $2,100 price tag so they should get through the list pretty quick and get back to leads that actually matter.
In the video the shooter does not make hand motions consistent with operating that pistol, it operates like a semi auto handgun without the piston required to make it operate correctly in semi auto.

You mean suppressor piston, I assume?

Shooting video is grainy but looks darn close to this:

Suppressed any gun you are already looking at ~ $1K before you have a gun behind it.

Yes, I have one for shooting my Hybrid on FNX-45, it's fun but its heavy and if you don't keep the piston clean then you get short strokes like seen in the video where you have to manually cycle the gun after each shot.
I wouldn't be so sure. I don't see changes to regulations happening, but cutting staffing and budgets to the alphabet agencies is a real possibility. That doesn't sound like great news for continued short NFA approvals to me.
Not without prior authorization and network providers only.
I've seen them used on cattle. They are very quite and can be used to put animals down while they are herded up with other animals close by. I've only seen them with veterinarians
I've seen a similar pistol at the AF museum in Ohio. I remember cause it looked exactly like the ones the Vets had.

Yes. I think staffing and budget cuts and shortened waiting times for ANYTHING in government are a nonsequiter.
