The extreme tax placed on gun mufflers was one of the worst public health debacles in United States history. Millions of citizens have lost hearing as a result.

Take the muffler off your car-illegal.

I know if I had to fire my AR-15 inside my home in self defense that I would suffer severe hearing damage. My ears still ring after range time with plugs and Muffs. No idea how our soldiers manage that.
Suppressors get people thinking James Bond silent. Nothing could be further from the truth. Firearms are still plenty loud with them and hearing protection is still recommended.
Outside of the unconstitutional aspect of the bureaucratic hurdles to ownership the argument could easily framed as a public health issue in my view.

one would assume a silencer was illegal based on general logic about its applications only if one didn't bother to engage oneself in some rather basic logic

The gun-loving conglomerate, Freedom Group, now sells more than 1.2 million guns a year, notching $40 billion in yearly revenue.Their sales are obviously not all gun-related. If they were, they're getting an average of $33,333 at wholesale per gun. My guess is that this guy is making up a lot of the article out of thin air.

Out at my place in SW Nebraska and listening to a Kansas radio station when an ad came on from a gun store announcing that it is the silencer sales leader for Kansas. I had a tear in my eye, both from joy and the fact that I’m stuck in the People’s Republic of Illinois.

I LOVE my silencer! Got it fitted for a cz-75b, 9mm. Took 4.5 months to get the silencer, but almost one whole year to get the threaded barrrel. It’s a blast, though. Well, maybe not a “blast”!

If there has to be regulation of suppressors, it should be to make them *mandatory* in certain circumstances.

Some of my customers in Germany were commenting that "silencers" are expected equipment on rifles used at the range. It is inconsiderate to shoot without one there.

I have suppressors for all of my weapons (except shotguns), my most recent one is for my new .416Barret. It took almost 3 months for the Form 4 to be approved. NFA really sucks, adding $200 and a waiting period to these pieces. We ought to be able to buy them the way they do in Europe, over the counter.
