I am stunned by the idiocy of the mindset to ban something that saves our hearing. They are registered like full auto so what is the big deal?
My quarter's on the idea that suppressed weaponry helps reduce the likelihood the bad guy's bad deeds will be heard before he (?) makes his escape. (Same sort of illogic as "short" weapons being more dangerous due to "handier" operation and improved concealability.)
Of course, going after the bad guys, and only the bad guys, isn't what the mindless "banners" do. They come after everybody. Those sorts have no shame in thievery of the rights of their children. The whole "if it saves one life" mindset (read: lunacy).
Some members of my family think in such ways. Oh, poor, pitiful them, incapable of recognizing what they do.
