Another thread got me thinking about suppressors and how I really want one, and can't afford it. Why are they restricted the way they are? I can only think of positives uses for suppressors... of course I am a law abiding tax paying American. I guess lawmakers have seen one too many James Bond movies and passed laws on that? It would be great for hunting, you can shoot without danger of hearing loss, you could shoot on your property without bothering the neighbors. Why can't we have em? Is this tax keeping them out of the hands of criminals? I would like to have one on my rifles, but I prolly never will.
