Why?
The NRA says it is important to protect the hearing of hunters. Get real, folks! If a hunter wants his hearing protected for the times he goes hunting, buy ear plugs. Lots cheaper!
Silencers would protect domestic abusers and criminals. Prime example is the Villager who shot 32 rounds of ammunition through a neighbor's front door several months ago. Other neighbors heard the shots and called police. If a silencer was used, chances are that no one would have heard a thing and that nut case would not be in jail.
Okay, let's get an honest discussion going here with no political or name calling as to WHY silencers should or should not be legal.

I do not agree with the law being changed. You can purchase a silencer today if you wish. The only difference is its classified as a Class 3 device. There is a procedure for obtaining a silencer. Keep the law as is currently written. I use ear protectors when I shoot.
