| Heard on the news that they might legalize the use of silencers when hunting deer, birds and alligators. Anybody who agrees? |

As loud as my wife's AR is with that bull barrel it might be nice just for that reason.
I think the anti gun crowd pictures a bunch of James Bond Ninja types running around dressed in black turtlenecks, and black knit masks using black guns, with silencers terrorizing women and children.

| great idea... hearing loss is a real issue from shooting. suppressors are great for recoil reduction and reducing muzzle blast in addition to the noise benefits. |

| I hope it passes. It would be very beneficial, but like Tyler said people are gunna think of outrageous ways to try and stop it from becoming legal. |

Eliminating the need for hearing protection while shooting stuff... nice!
I wonder if it will be legal to put a silencer on my bow?

| They're really not James Bond 007 quiet. Remember the sound barrier is 1100 feet/sec, and the sonic boom off a bullet makes a pretty loud crack. I don't think subsonic ammo would be very humane. |
