Noise is so important. But it is not heard when hunting. Strange as heck but one shot on the range without muffs will drive you nuts but a shot at a deer is never heard.
I wish silencers were allowed without paying big bucks. Every gun should have them and they should be sold in every store but it is the liberal thing. Like a bayonet on a rifle is more deadly then the bullet. Even the lug for one is deadly and the appearance of a gun takes it into an assault rifle. Liberal junk!
A SAA is fine but tweak it into a Buck Rogers gun and it is wrong. Stick a knife on the front and go to jail.
A gun that makes noise and wakes the whole neighborhood is fine but a quiet gun is not legal.
You get a ticket for a loud muffler.
