just wondering; seems a bit pointless.

Wish gun laws weren't so bad here. I'd love to take up shooting as a hobby.

they're legal with the proper paperwork. BATF tax stamp and gun trust/LLC necessary to legally possess such things. it's a huge pain in the ass and pretty much illegal or virtually impossible to obtain in some states like california. i don't know if OP's suppressors are legal or actually real suppressors, but sometimes people buy goofy fake suppressors just for show, which are 100% legal for anyone to own.

Why do they have silencers? Because guns (especially rifles) are uncomfortably loud would be my guess. I'd have one if they weren't such a PITA to get here. Ridiculous. In a lot of other countries with stricter gun laws than ours a silencer is no big deal. They're no more complex than the muffler on your car.

My neighbor has one on his AR-15. It just a "Fwump", like one of those little fireworks mortars going off.

Why suppressors/silencers? A: You don't have to wear hearing protection.

Same reason I can own a car that can do in excess of 120mph. Pointless with a 70mph speedlimit huh?

I'll bet you are that guy that agrees with the generalizing "all BMW drivers are assholes" statement

You, know, the other reason I'd really like to have a silencer is home defense. If I ever had to shoot someone in my house, it'd be nice if I could do it without going deaf.

This is getting a little heated... I just need to make sure I read this right.. You need balls to own a fire arm?

So everyone who doesn't own a fire arm is lacking testicles?

You're right... your post does scream "I'm Ignorant"

To each their own. Own one or a hundred if you want or can, for that matter. But don't tell me I am a pussy for not owning one.

last thing you want to do is wake the kids when someone is in your house robbing your shit...

Huh? I don't have kids- just really sensitive hearing. I don't even go to concerts since I find them painfully loud. There's no need for me to suffer hearing loss just because some meth-head picks my house to rob (and yes- a meth head did try to break into my house one night while my wife and I were at home. A neighbor saw them and they took off. I bought a gun the next day).

Shooting indoors is EXTREMELY loud.

What is so scary about a silencer? Are you also afraid of cars with mufflers since you can't hear them from as far away?
