This is just ignorance, plain and simple. Suppressors are mandatory in most european countries that still allow limited gun ownership because they cut down on noise pollution and protect people's hearing. A suppressor is a safety device.

A gun with a suppressor on it is still loud as hell, just typically not loud enough to cause permanent hearing loss. It's not like the movies where someone off's somebody and doesn't wake up the baby sleeping in the next room. If you pop off a couple suppressed rounds in your house, your neighbor is probably still going to hear that.

This is just another bullshit attempt to erode our gun rights.
