    Any gun owners feeling the time crunch? Only two weeks left until Obama takes em all.

    I am personally focusing on positive change like national carry reciprocity and the the hearing protection act being passed :)
    Will that make ear plugs legal?
    Hopefully silencers will soon be legal!
    What could go wrong?
    Fewer deaf people? Wait, that's a good thing :)
    When my father in law hunts with his 30.06 he has to take his hearing aids out. I m thinking a silencer could help him out a bit. But the anti gunners who know nothing about silencers fear then because they ve watched one too many mob movies lol.
    Seems like you guys are afraid of ear plugs.
    I wear ear plugs every time I shoot at a range. Hunting is a different story. It s pretty obvious you haven't hunted before.
    I understand how it applies to hunting. So the silencers would be limited for use with hunting rifles?

    Yeah, I can totally see where you're trying to lead this. Are we really going to jump into a "what is a hunting rifle" discussion for the thousandth time? I would say that they would be practical on any firearm that someone would like to not be as annoyingly loud. I've seen people here say that they get annoyed by the noise of neighbors target practicing...some places even have silencer ordinances to reduce noise.

    All good points. Go beavers you didn't answer my question: how would legalizing silencers increase crime?
    To me a silencer is like an accessory on a gun. I.e. A scope, a forward grip, a collapsible stock, etc
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    Making it easier to kill someone without others noticing seems like a person may choose to go that route. I guess my logic is that if it's easier to get away with something, then people are more likely to do it.

    I wasn't going into what's a hunting rifle discussion. I was just wondering what the appeal is.

    A silencer lowers the dB level but it is still loud as shit. A silencer on a 22 would make it sound like a BB gun. Damn near everything else would still be pretty damn loud

  • "Cuz like I have 83 rooms in my house and I'm a poor shot so I like to try again," said the defendant. Said defendant lives in a two room sub-basement, bunker like apartment. When asked why he needed so much ammo, the defendant claimed, " he goes to the range to keep from being rusty." And, " it makes his aim true." Trump tweeted, " 2nd amendment isn't like the 1st! Sad!"

    Will that make ear plugs legal?
    Hopefully silencers will soon be legal!
    What could go wrong?
    Fewer deaf people? Wait, that's a good thing :)
    When my father in law hunts with his 30.06 he has to take his hearing aids out. I m thinking a silencer could help him out a bit. But the anti gunners who know nothing about silencers fear then because they ve watched one too many mob movies lol.
    Seems like you guys are afraid of ear plugs.
    I wear ear plugs every time I shoot at a range. Hunting is a different story. It s pretty obvious you haven't hunted before.
    I understand how it applies to hunting. So the silencers would be limited for use with hunting rifles?
    Yeah, I can totally see where you're trying to lead this. Are we really going to jump into a "what is a hunting rifle" discussion for the thousandth time? I would say that they would be practical on any firearm that someone would like to not be as annoyingly loud. I've seen people here say that they get annoyed by the noise of neighbors target practicing...some places even have silencer ordinances to reduce noise.
    All good points. Go beavers you didn't answer my question: how would legalizing silencers increase crime?
    To me a silencer is like an accessory on a gun. I.e. A scope, a forward grip, a collapsible stock, etc
    Making it easier to kill someone without others noticing seems like a person may choose to go that route. I guess my logic is that if it's easier to get away with something, then people are more likely to do it.
    A silencer lowers the dB level but it is still loud as shit. A silencer on a 22 would make it sound like a BB gun. Damn near everything else would still be pretty damn loud
    If everything else is loud, then what's the advantage using a silencer when hunting?

    Any gun owners feeling the time crunch? Only two weeks left until Obama takes em all.

    I am personally focusing on positive change like national carry reciprocity and the the hearing protection act being passed :)
    Will that make ear plugs legal?
    Hopefully silencers will soon be legal!
    What could go wrong?
    Fewer deaf people? Wait, that's a good thing :)
    When my father in law hunts with his 30.06 he has to take his hearing aids out. I m thinking a silencer could help him out a bit. But the anti gunners who know nothing about silencers fear then because they ve watched one too many mob movies lol.
    Seems like you guys are afraid of ear plugs.
    I wear ear plugs every time I shoot at a range. Hunting is a different story. It s pretty obvious you haven't hunted before.
    I understand how it applies to hunting. So the silencers would be limited for use with hunting rifles?
    Yeah, I can totally see where you're trying to lead this. Are we really going to jump into a "what is a hunting rifle" discussion for the thousandth time? I would say that they would be practical on any firearm that someone would like to not be as annoyingly loud.

    Stickman's statement was not entirely true. There are plenty of hunting caliber that would not be "loud as shit". I guess "loud as shit" is all about perspective though. He is right in the respect that they do not make the guns completely silent like Hollywood fake news would lead you to believe(contrary to the term "silencer") though and the Db level is going to depend on the caliber and speed of the bullet (super sonic creates sonic boom). It will lower the decibel level in many calibers to a level that will not cause hearing damage, but you are still going to hear the sound of the bullet flying through the air.
    I've also talked to people with experience that say silencers actually can make it easier to spot where a gunshot is coming from because of the lack of deafening boom and the echoing associated with it, so that would maybe make them a poor choice for mass shooters...Also to mention is the psychological impact from a loud, ear ringing concussion from a muzzle blast probably makes situations more chaotic. People are afraid of things they know nothing about...

    The only advantage to it is your hearing gets saved. It doesn't make you shoot more accurate or farther.

    Sounds like a guy travelling with his legal gun. He was a good guy with a gun, until he wasn't.

    Oh...is that what it sounds like? It sounds like a known wolf to most everbody else.
    Remember, it s always ok to make quick generalizations and assumptions on this forum when it comes to people using firearms illegally. God forbid you call someone a terrorist though....
    Doesn't help your case that someone like that was able to travel with a gun. Maybe we should make it easier for folks like him to own and travel with guns, sounds like a solution to me.

    Good job guys, hopefully Trump will make the laws even more relaxed.
    How doesn't that help my case? 99.9% of gun owners are law abiding citizens. Why is it that the .1% of people who abuse these laws represent all gun owners?
    And unless you have a crystal ball, i m not seeing how trump is going to make gun laws more lax. What would that entail?
    I love how this thread was bumped for the first time in a month
    That line is just as tired and worn out...

    but it's true lol. And I don't think that line has been used that much because most of the people who post in this thread are anti 2nd amendment.

    You sure it's the pro-gun crowd boo-hooing? If you don't give a damn about hobbyists, how can you expect them to give a damn about you or what you consider fair? Respect goes both ways.
