“Recreational shooters and hunters would like to have silencers because they don’t want to damage their hearing but dislike using ear protection. If the Occupational Safety and Health Administration had been around in the 1930s, gun rights lawyer Stephen Halbrook quipped to The Washington Post, it probably would have mandated their use.”

I’ve always wondered how you “leave it a little noisey”.

I want hearing protection devices on my guns and would like them at a cost less than the guns themselves. I’m hopeful legalizing them will drive costs down. Can’t happen soon enough!

Real world suppressors are not like the movie silencers, where you see a bad guy screw one onto the barrel of a revolver, then kills someone with just a nearly-silent "pfft."
A decent handgun silencer will reduce the report of a pistol from 140 dB to 110 dB. Hearing safe, but by no means silent.

Supressors were included in the Firearms Control Act of 1934 to stop game poaching. Because of the Depression, many people were forced to illegally hunt to feed their families.

Just repeal the unconstitutional laws already on the books, we don’t need new ones.

I think silencers would be nice. Even though I wear hearing protection, I still find the noise painful.

It is not a gun silencer. It is a catalytic converter.

Yes the noise is deafening. I always wear ear protectors on the shooting range practicing my 9mm handgun.

Yep - suppressors help save hearing - my ears ring after a lot of youthful shooting w/o protection. If you need to use a large caliber weapon in an enclosed area, w/o the opportunity to tell the bad guy to hold on while you don your ear protection, you will be effectively deaf for a short while - even a .22 LR causes a lot of discomfort.

What did you say? I’ve been shooting for years. I didn’t hear you.
