What gets me is the fact that suppressors are a safety tool. They save a shooter's hearing, reducing harmful decibel levels. They can also improve accuracy depending on variables such as the model of gun, ammo type and suppressor used. Suppressor use should be encouraged if we are talking from a safety standpoint in my opinion.
Exactly. I suspect that had early pistols and rifles included an integral sound-suppression system, that today they would be more socially acceptable. Every damned cop show on TV, if you have a suppressor, you are automatically an evil dude out to do nefarious things. Subtext: Only evil people use suppressors.
