I saw this quote at the end of someone's message...and it made me think because all my life I've heard that silencers are illegal.
Are they legal, or illegal?
I know, but what most folks are worried about is the criminally minded sneaking up on people to shoot them in such a way that nobody close by will hear it. That would make it much easier to go out and murder someone and get away with it.
Cars without mufflers would be a major public nuisance since there are way, way more cars out there in use than there are people practicing in shooting ranges.
Restricting silencers is yet another regulation that's about the appearance of improving public safety rather than actually improving it.
Even with hearing protection a day spent next to .357's, .44's, .308's, .30-06's, and other sharp sounding calibers is still rather tormenting. You won't be damaged, but you sure as heck won't be undisturbed.Can't you just wear protection?
I mean, we're supposed to wear protection when doing tha wild thang, so it's probably a good idea to wear protection when shooting at the gun range.
No, hearing protection devices such as muffs or plugs don't stop skull conduction of the sound.Can't you just wear protection?

That's not true.Most folks couldn't give a rip about a gun being silenced!
