I strongly approve of deregulating silencers. I own several and use them for most of my shooting.
(1) It’s polite to shoot with a silencer. If I shoot a .338 next to you at the range without a silencer, you will notice. If I shoot with the silencer, you’ll probably come over to admire it and express your appreciation.
(2) It’s more pleasant to shoot with a silencer. Shooting anything large bore, .30 cal or bigger, is loud even with hearing protection if you don’t use a silencer. With a silencer, that’s no longer true.
(3) Shooting with a silencer is both more accurate and builds better habits - less tendency to flinch.
I want a loudener to annoy hoplophobes.
