Gun nuts want them because they are not allowed to have them.

Home owners shouldn't be subjected to blown eardrums while defending themselves in their own homes, you think that .45 is loud outside imagine trying to focus for a second shot after blasting that thing in your bedroom.

A suppressor is an incredibly simple devise. It's a tube with baffles that threads onto a firearm barrel. If someone really wanted to use a suppressor all they have to do is make one.

All of the regulations on suppressors is the more perplexing thing to me.

I side more with the gun owner crowd in these debates typically. I understand wanting to carry a gun to protect yourself and family but what is the rationale for silencers?


For the same reason that I am pro gay marriage even though I make fun of figs and would never consider being a man.

As you know, silencers aren't silent.
Wait, a silencer isn't like a soft fart in real life like it is in the movies!??!

Obviously a typo, you got the gist of what I was saying.

This country would be far better off if so many on the left and the right weren't so quick to want to take rights away from people they don't agree with. Just mind your own business.

The government forces us to put mufflers on cars and tickets drivers whose cars are too loud.

But they want to throw you in prison if you try to suppress the sound of a loud-arse gun.

Doesn't make sense.

Honestly there isn't a need, but it's but like you can't get one.
Also if anyone were so inclined a home made one isn't that hard to do.

After reading this thread I’ve come to the conclusion that assault silencers should be banned but regular silences are fine.

Silencers are not nearly as effective as they are portrayed in the movies to where they make that cute little "pew" sound. Just doesn't work like that.

Silencers are good for hearing safety but are also very neighborly when you're picking off coyotes on your land at 2am or shooting targets on a Saturday afternoon.

I know three people that have them. They're even so brazen they've told the federal government where they lived and DARED them to come arrest them for breaking the law!

You are a fricking clownshow.

EDIT: I kinda feel bad now for denigrating clowns like that.

Because they don't want me to be able to hunt using my silenced 22 pistol shooting subsonic ammo.

There are two kinds of people:

1) Those that have experience and knowledge with regards to firearms.

2) People that only know about firearms from movies and TV shows.

You are clearly #2 because you think a “silencer” makes the same sound that has been used by foley artists since the 70’s in TV and movies.

It doesn’t work like that.
