John Oliver touches on Mental Health (and mass shootings)

Somebody obviously thought there was a reason to restrict them in the first place. But you're also not looking at this as a whole--you talk about the guns being the "weapons" and thus what should be restricted. We don't do that, and now we have this becoming... less restricted. So just like with the military rifles I'm wondering why a civvie gun owner needs an accessory like that. And as for the saving the hearing thing, LOL.

That's why we wear HEADPHONES at the range. To protect hearing, LOL...

If guns are for protection, because remember that's the crux of this whole thing--we need to be armed or else we're helpless! Why do you need a silencer to defend yourself?

Or everybody could just fess up and we could end this right now: we have them because gun owners want them. We have them because they want to enjoy their hobby.

I personally don't know WTF I would do sticking that on my gun (although you'd need a threaded barrel I believe) and I don't even think you can use those in indoor ranges, although I'm not sure.

Speaking of restrictions, guess who has a lot of those? Gun ranges. Everything from the type of ammo you can and can't use to no double-tapping or rapid firing and no weapons of a certain caliber or above. I mean, safety, right?

Hmmm....

its because you want to be situationally aware of your surroundings while hunting (so you have no ear protection) but also want to not damage your ears which is why people want suppressors. a few other reasons, including it lowers noise complaints about hunting, and it can help improve accuracy

right now to get one in a state that "allows" it you need to provide fingerprints, pay outrageous taxes, and other things to jump through because only criminals would want one, clearly.

I wish I had a silencer on my 12 gauge when I'm shooting trap. After 150-200 rounds, even with ear plugs, I can barely hear anything. I'm stone deaf in the right ear already, but now the left ear is going. I'm starting to be unable to hear certain frequencies, like the bell on the stove for instance.

A silencer would be huge.

Indy, you know someplace to buy hand grenades?

LOL. Well soon there will be plenty because them being banned is an infringement of our Second Amendment rights.

And nobody can provide a reason to me why they should be banned--you don't ban things for no reason.
