All any state needs to do is to legalize "silencers," and to encourage a manufacturer to produce them in state. That would remove them from federal jurisdiction (according to a recent 9th circuit ruling.) The ranges would be much quieter, and could even require "cans" for certain guns or times of day.

Even some Europeans have this figured out...

That is really all it would take...again its always a matter of image rather than substance that motivates fools...

Kinda tough to find one for my .308. It might suppress the noise but not the crack as the round breaks the sound barrier. Besides there's that pesky BATF (F troop) rule that you can't have a threaded barrel.
