A great article from the Chicago Tribune:

"The dead weren’t even finished dying in Las Vegas before the left
swooped down to feed on gun
control politics."
I see that they are going after the "hearing protection act" too, in
spite of the fact that the people in Vegas did not recognize the gun
shots until they started seeing people getting shot.
It is the only time in history that I can remember people wanting to
keep ear damaging equipment as loud as they can. That is certainly not
true of cars, motor cycles, leaf blowers or lawn mowers.
They are now trying to ban loud generators in some places.
Since a suppressed center fire rifle is still 130 dB or higher these
people who think it is "silent" should shut the **** up about 90 dB
leaf blowers.


And most silencers lose effectiveness after about 5shots.



Uh, no. And they are suppressors, not silencers. Silencer implies a shot
with decibels so low you don’t hear it.


I understand that, but common usage is silencers. Suppressors may be
confused with flash suppressor.
