Being around the 4th, I know no one would call the cops over what "could" be a gunshot, but what about durring the rest of the year. Just about everyday I hear what "could" be a shot, but I never think much of it. After all, it was just one, maybe two bangs... Right? So my question is, how many of you would, or have, called the cops over a noise?
Of those who would hear 2-3 bangs, I bet most everyone would ignore it. Some would look out the window, check for anything overtly suspicious, but continue on with their day. Really, the people who I am asking are those who've shot a gun on their back yard(or even in you house). Did any of your neighbors call the cops?
My point is, a silencer would only effect a criminals confidence level, not the likelihood of being caught as a result of the noise. I really think that the NRA should do a study on that. If no one's disturbed by a couple pow-pow noises, then theres no reason why suppressors should be illegal. Especially considering their health benifits.
