This could presumably make the firearm easier to conceal, which is unnecessary in hunting or hobby shooting.
They definitely work. I can shoot Q3131A (hot mil-spec ammo) out of my M4 with a muzzle brake and someone else right next to me can shoot the same ammo out of a barrel with a conventional flash hider. Flash suppression is dramatic. I just witnessed it last Tuesday night as a matter of fact.Does anybody really know how a flash hider works. Seriously. We need to have a nightime education session. Have you ever seen an M16 fired at night?

yeah, we'd better get some training sessions and permits for those murderersbut plenty of murders and accidental deaths occur in the home, where no permit is needed.
Yes, tighter regulation would have made it easier for young Hardin to learn to shoot safely.

yeah, from articles like this one.gun shows have been under attack for years
Notice that she gives no evidence of this? Or were you distracted by the abuse of alliteration? This next quote is even worse in that regard.folks at the RK Gun Show were less levelheaded
:banghead: the last half of her column is pure bigotrygun shows are notorious havens for unauthorized gun transactions (i.e. a good place for those with criminal records to get guns).
Bet she would defend this guy's right to sell a book about how to kill George W. Bush.One booth at the gun show features instructional CDs with titles such as “Silencer Cookbook†and “Full Auto Conversion.†The young man at the counter says of the latter, which describes how to convert a semiautomatic weapon into an automatic, “It’s kind of illegal, but it’s not illegal to know how to do it.
What does this guy think a militia is for?no reason any citizen would need one
I emailed her (the author) and told her that this was being discussed at length here.
