"Silencers exist for one purpose only, and that is to permit a gun to be used discreetly in the hopes of not being overheard or detected."So much of our anti-firearms legislation has its roots in what foolish and ignorant politicians have "learned" from movies.
I still think the most critically needed constitutional amendment is that ALL laws AND exceptions shall apply equally to individuals as they apply agents and agencies of the government. If a conflict arises, the most beneficial result shall be granted to the individual.
