LOL, have a problem understanding English? I promise, I don't care if everybody has a whole house full of silencers. But, the derogatory nature of the pro silencer bunch on this thread doesn't say much for any capability of explaining a silencers purpose in any convincing manner, other than I make money selling them.
BTW, Kudos to Harry for not backing down to the little Rambo wannabes and, more than that, those manufacturing and selling to them. emphasis added
And since you are the only one left particpating in this thread that is worth having a discussion with, I will surrender to the others.
I don't think that someone that posts has Hairy Boner should be talking about leaping at flying donuts . . . Just sayin'

Glad you finally figured out the point I made in post #50.
You might as well say that concealed carry is illegal in every state and oppose talking about it on forums because it makes gun owners look bad. Neither is true.
is preposterous.an enemy of shooters and the 2nd Amendment
No. SayingAnything about disliking silencers making gun owners look bad or demonstating one is "an enemy of shooters and the 2nd Amendment" is preposterous.
makes one an enemy of shooters and the 2nd Amendment.No legitamate sporting weapon or sportsman ever needs a silencer.
In fact, I compared a CCW license/permit to the NFA transfer tax because, in NC, both have very similar applicant background requirements, paperwork, LEO approval, cost, and wait time once the application is submitted. Nobody would say "CCW is illegal" under these circumstances; yet you maintain it's perfectly fine to allege that silencers are 100% illegal. This is you grasping at straws to maintain an untenable position once people showed that silencers are in fact not illegal in NC per the partial law you posted.Comparing hunting licenses and pilot licenses to silencers and machine guns is a stretch to anybody other than the choir.
If you ask NC LEO's " Are silencers legal?" with no coaching, the answer will be overwhelmingly "No". If this is inconvenient perhaps some advertising would help since almost everybody is aware that concealed carry permits are obtainable although concealed weapons are still illegal otherwise. Few other than the choir would think the reward/benefit for the trouble involved between getting a CCW permit or a silencer "permit" is a valid comparison.
You're both getting strong feedback here for good reason. Think of it as a form of peer "correction."
Again you go off half-cocked with assumptions and incorrect facts. SC-Texas started the thread on AR15.com, not me. The only reason I posted to his thread was to make a correction since he attributed something someone else said to me and I do not like to have things wrongfully attributed to me. I'm not "dragging" anyone over here. Nobody here "works for me", and I don't know how you got that idea. Perhaps you made it up like your interpretation of NC NFA law.LOL, the reason we are getting strong feedback is because you are dragging these one or two posters over here from another forum, or they work for you.
I'm all for a good arguement every now and then, but I suspect that this has gone on for long enough and has nowhere good left to go....

to manufacture, assemble, possess, store, transport, sell, offer to sell, purchase, offer to
purchase, deliver, give to another, or acquire any weapon of mass death and destruction.
A weapon of mass death and destruction includes:

included within this definition; and

Leveling new allegations doesn't generally count as letting sleeping dogs lie ("you are dragging these one or two posters over here from another forum, or they work for you."). I see no reason to let fallacious arguments or incorrect facts sit without refutation; it gives the appearance of acceptance. Furthermore, aspersions on my actions and character are unwarranted and deserve rebuttal.I agree. I was a sleeping dog, but Zak couldn't stand it.
You referred to, "posters .. from another forum", and the AR15 thread is the only one I am aware of which discusses this thread. Furthermore, you alleged that I was "dragging these one or two posters over here from another forum, or they work for you.".I see no mention of him or you before your first post.
