For the record, this point sounds kind of dickish.

As intended because he responded to simple, innocent questions with aggression. I reciprocated

Why do people by rolexes? A timex tells the time just the same. Why do people buy white gold instead of traditional gold? It's preference. If a suppressor serves the same purpose as ear plugs, like you're implying, what's the problem with making the process to get them easier?

I am not against suppressors being easier to get.

But compared something you put on a gun to make it quieter is clearly something that has a little more significance than someone spending money on a watch.

My point was, if the argument is simply that they don't want to wear ear plugs, that is ineffective on a national stage when discussing something as controversial as firearms. The recoil argument is far, far better IMO.
