[QUOTE="Deleted member 46119, post: 1329682"] The only reason the silencer is regulated is movies of prohibition era gangsters. Perhaps real prohibition era gangsters. Like all "gun laws" it fixed nothing regarding criminal, terrorist or the mentally ill problems. Those so disposed will be able to obtain anything they want because they are willing to pay the price. Making it "harder" does nothing except drive them further into the black market. Make no mistake, it all exists on the black market. Laws, locks, fences and safes are for the nominally law abiding. 1000lb safes have been lifted from garages. Locks picked or broken. Fences crossed. The criminal, terrorist or mentally ill will not be stopped by a "law". Suppressors should be standard issue on all military and police firearms. It will save billions in hearing loss costs to the VA. I agree, suppressors should be the same as a muzzle break. Does anyone really think a drive by shooting would go less noticed if a suppressor was used. Of course not. If a drive by shooter wants to be "quiet" he will find a way. Does anyone really think a terrorist will kill less people without a suppressor. Of course not. If a terrorist uses a firearm he will kill the same number of people. San Bernadino proved that. Does anyone think a mentally ill person will kill more students with a suppressor. Of course not. The issue is not the gun, not the suppressor, not availability of ammunition. The issue is criminals, terrorists and mental illness. Any gun law or possession restriction will not fix those problems. The data shows the opposite for crime and terrorism. "Gun Free" areas are targets. All of Los Angeles is a target. Schools are targets. Sorry. Ranting. [/QUOTE]
