[QUOTE="Garycrow, post: 1075381, member: 30743"] Technologist, In much of the U.S. it's not legal to hunt with a suppressor. Even in places where it is legal there is still a big tax on suppressors and a lot of federal paperwork to go through to get one. It all dates back to the 1920's and 1930's when the mafia wars were going on in the big American cities, mob killings using suppressed firearms were common so the government effectively outlawed them by placing a very large tax on them. Those laws are still on the books so suppressors are difficult and expensive to obtain. The laws need to be changed, but don't look for it to happen especially under the Obama administration which is very anti-gun. I wish suppressors were in common use for hunting, we'd all be better off. However, with the laws in place now they're uncommon and expensive. [/QUOTE]
