[QUOTE="vdub, post: 1727563, member: 6845"] A suppressor does not completely remove that noise!! What about using a crossbow? Do we need to restrict them as well? They do not require a $200 tax stamp, FBI background check, and about a 6 month wait to be able to pick it up from the dealer. They are also a lot closer to completely quiet than a suppressor as most suppressors are just under the noise limit that creates discomfort in the ear. Using the same misconception you just posted is what is making this harder than normal to pass the bill. You have to educate people that suppressor do not completely eliminate all noise from a rifle or pistol and then get them to realize the movies have never shown a suppressor in true light. Besides if allowing suppressors would cause so much illegal activities, then why are four states this year on the way to pass and implement legislation like this and why do you not hear of rampanant poaching reports from those states that do allow this? The answer is it just does not correlate and people are just fearmongering when using the same argument you did. That argument also assume that most residents in the state are not law-abiding and you are restricting the rights of many because of what a few resident are already doing and will continue to do with or without this legislation being passed.
