The courts claim to be able to declare laws that limit their power unconstitutional? I suppost this could be true if the legislature passed laws contrary to the constitution, that limited the courts.

What is the noise level issue in the 2008 Outdoor Sport Shooting Act?

Does it mandate maximum noise levels? That would seem to go against range preservation intentions.

The link had a link to the law.
I'll have to check our local ordinance to see if my club/state has similar restrictions. Over the past five years, we've put up over twenty overhead baffles as bullet-stops and noise abatement.

3) The noise emitted from a state outdoor sport shooting range shall not exceed an Leq(h) of sixty-four (64) dBA.
(4) Sound pressure measurements shall be made twenty (20) feet from the nearest existing occupied residence, school, hotel, motel, hospital or church and in a location directly between the range and the nearest existing occupied residence, school, hotel, motel, hospital or church. If there are natural or artificial obstructions that prevent an accurate noise measurement, the measurement may be taken within an additional twenty (20) feet radius from the initial measurement location. If access to such location is not available, then sound pressure measurements shall be made at the range property line in a location directly between the range and the nearest existing occupied residence, school, hotel, motel, hospital or church.

Why don’t they just make silencers legal?

The unanimous decision...

That's pretty much a spanking of the trial court judge.
