Good one. 'Twould be nice to have a picture of a suppressed pistol, but that's just me wanting eye-candy.:)
 
Only change I'd make is to the second paragraph.

A simlar muffler for a rifle
is subject to a $200 tax and
a 6 month background check
and isn't even legal at all in some states.
 
I posted this on another thread but it really belongs here:
Finland has considered making civilian ownershop of
silencers obligatory:

From: [email protected] (Panu Wilska)
....here are some facts how silencers are treated in Finland.
Silencers are not considered to be "parts of a firearm", that means
that anyone can build one, own one and buy or sell one without any
restrictions. Just as grips or scopes.
There are no special taxes on silencers, of course for everything
you buy the 22% VAT is included.
Silencers have been found useful in preventing noise-pollution of shooting
ranges that are near urban areas. Several studies have been made on
subject should silencers be obligatory. One study made by State
Department of Labor strongly suggests people to use silencers to
prevent damage to their ears. (that state department handles issues
of work safety etc.) ....
Silencers are cheap and of high quality in Finland. You can buy a silencer
for .22 for $50 and top quality silencers that sustain unlimited full-
automatic fire go for about $150. Factory-made silencers are available
actually for any gun and caliber....
Silencers are coming increasingly popular, more and more .22 are being
sold with silencer already fitted. For Ruger mkII there are numerous solutions
some with bayonet-style fixing which make it fast to fix and remove. Such
solutions have been seen on Luger and Margolin. Almost all gunsmiths
can make silencers. The best known industrial makes are VAIME, KANU
and BR-REFLEX....

I like it.

(Of course, umm ... showed it to one of my kids, who glanced at it and said, "What about 'Loud pipes save lives'?")

Good poster.

Nice one Oleg.

It would be great if you could work in the bit about some states not even allowing cans, but I"m afraid it'd get way to wordy before you were done.

I like it as is.
 
Good choice. Helvetica wasn't used anywhere in this poster.

That said, I have almost no fonts for PC. Can Mac fonts be converted somehow?
 
Umm, ok, I guess.

Myself, I'm more of a "Loud Pipes Save Lives" kinda guy, straight pipes on my Shovelhead FXR and all...
 
Of all the posters you've recently put up, this is one of my favorites. It has long been a desire of mine to suppress my guns, and I finally completed enough of the collection that I'm willing to pay for it. With any luck, by this time next year every time I shoot a .22 or .45 or .308 it will be a happy quiet kind of shooting.
