Agreed. But I don’t think the objectors are thinking about rifles...

All very good points. Gotta protect the dogs - hadn’t thought of that one, but again - the objectors are talking about handguns. If they think of long guns, it’s only grudgingly.

Thank you all for your measured, polite comments. I’ve seen guys like me (on your side, but asking contrary questions) absolutely cut to pieces for just asking.
All of you gave good reasons, but you see my point, right? Opponents don’t care what our reason is, they just say “NO” to anything gun-related. So, the Senator’s bill title, which is viewed as a flimsy reason, almost makes it worse.
If he were talking only long guns, all our reasons you listed here would be fine, but hunting rarely applies to handguns, in the minds of most folks.
They should be legal because they should be legal. Period. That’s a tough sell.

If you have to use your firearm in self defense in your car, house, or other enclosed space it will help save your hearing and that of any nearby family. I don’t care about the hearing of the bad guys. If you are doing your job right, they will end up with no hearing anyhow.

“Democrats get their notion of firearms from Hollywood.”
That is the very reason that suppressors are NFA “weapons.” Dims in 1934 watched gangster movies, and wanted to look like they were “doing something” about gangster crimes. Morons.
Hey, Senator, did you ever consider that suppressors will save millions of people from hearing problems, problems that will cost billions of dollars, and may even get a few people killed (because they didn’t hear something that they needed to hear, like a car coming from behind them). Yet another statist moron.
