[QUOTE="rlt7272, post: 1779193, member: 435"] No, I see your reasons, however, the main stated reason for supressor has been hearing protection. I mean have you guys not ever hear of ear plugs or those fancy ear muffs that block the shot but let the rest of the sound in? If that equipment is available (with out the need to file any paperwork or get an additional goverment approval) then why is that a less favorable solution? You guys talk about the goverment getting into your business but all of those of you who legally have a supressor had to bow down to the goverment regulations to obtain one. Since you did this why is the goverment regulation not to be able to use them in one aspect of your shooting bother you? As for teaching new shooters, I have alreay taught my daughter and son ( with 2 more sons left once they get old enough) how to shoot, handle firearms and take game using said firearms. All have been taught without the aid of a supressor thru simple basic steps, all with hearing protection. If you are not able to teach your children how to shoot with out supressor, you might want to rething your methods and the firearms that you are trying to start them out on and or the age when you are starting them out. However your statement assumes that I am against supressors, I am not. I simply do not see the need in the while hunting. By the way, neither do the game wardens. I am a long time shooter, hunter and gun owner, like my dad and his dad. The implication that because I am anti supressors for hunting means I am anti gun is an insult. The supressor is an optional add on to your firearm that is not needed to protect your ears or to take game in a more eithcal way. If someone has facts to say that a supressor is better than ear plugs for reducing hearing damage or makes for a better kill on game then please post wasy. Until then the actual facts are that there are already solutions to the problems that you say supressors will solve. [/QUOTE]
