It is a noise pollution issue. Some hunting areas in Scandinavia require them. They are equally unregulated in New Zealand, Finland, and I read someplace, even UK. They really are not that quiet.
a short barreled shot gun is better than a standard length barrel for home defense.

umbrellas that fire ricin pellets are how real pros do it.

I'm familiar with ways to make a silencer. But that isn't my point. Starboard Tack Jul 2012 #32

Please explain why an 18" barrel on a shotgun should be legal, but not a 17" barrel. PavePusher Jul 2012 #40

Well, gejohnston Jul 2012 #22

The silencer, which should be called a muffler, is beneficial to your hearing when hunting. permatex Jul 2012 #26

Right, I've heard that before about the "muffler", noise suppressor, silencer Starboard Tack Jul 2012 #27

Calling it a silencer is just Hollywood crap permatex Jul 2012 #29
