Many ranges are being closed because of people spuriously complaining about the noise of firearms. Suppressors would solve that problem.

Also, there are legitimate game hunting and vermin control applications for suppressors. Hunting feral hog, shooting deer (if you miss, you don’t spook the animal) and more. Additionally, unsuppressed firearms, even if you wear hearing protection *will* cause hearing damage over years of even sporadic use.

Okay, those are actually pretty good reasons to keep them then. I will say this much, though: he still didn’t voice any desire to ban suppressors. Stating a personal dislike of them =/= wanting to ban them outright.

Many ignorant people on Free Republic. Repeat often:
