I’d rather not see obese people in shorts and tank tops jiggling around in the grocery store, but I can always look the other way.
I like to walk-hunt, not sit in a blind-I don’t want to be doing that where someone with a silencer is walk-hunting too-it seems dangerous. But there is nothing bizarre about any of that, in my opinion-I think most recent democrat proposals are bizarre because they reward negative/bad behavior...

I think they are already legal for hunting in Texas.
Not sure I see the correlation between you walking while someone is hunting with a suppressor. Hunters are trained to identify their target, before they shoot. How much noise the firearm makes doesn’t seem to have any bearing on how safe you are walking.
If you’re in the way of the shot it is still to late to dodge it by the time you hear the report.
The bullet will get to you before the sound does, so a suppressor is not a safety issue. Plus, hunters fire one, maybe two, shots, then they are field dressing, so that location is probably safer.
I have been downrange of “suppressed” shots and believe me, the *crack* of a supersonic round eight feet away is as loud as a .22 up close, maybe louder, but the sound comes from the right angle of the bullet path, not from the rifle location.
What is your opinion on bow hunting?
