Huh?

An appeals court had held that a silencer is not a "bearable" arm protected by the Constitution.

Shane Cox owned an army surplus store in Kansas where he sold unregistered homemade silencers and Jeremy Kettler bought one of them. They were convicted under the National Firearms Act, passed in 1934, which requires individuals to register silencers and to pay a federal tax of about $200. The law has the effect of limiting the number of silencers, but not banning them. It also makes it harder to transfer them.

Eight states and Washington, DC, go further and ban silencers altogether, others ban them unless registered with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.

The challenge then is to build the better mouse-trap. In this case, build the quieter firearm. If the design of the firearm itself suppresses the noise level a few decibels, it will be appreciated by all shooters.

Our court system up to the supreme has no standing in what are our inalienable rights that God gave us. Their interpretations are usually pure bullsh*t.
