Yes.
1, it will cut the cost of health care for people who don't have insurance and refuse to purchase earplugs.
2, It makes it much more pleasant to shoot at the range.
3, 2'nd chance opportunities.
4, sick of wearing earmuffs.
5, who cares about need.
6, reduces recoil.
7, I can shoot those damn cats without the neighbors knowing.
8, It will get those people who complain about the noise that gun ranges make to start whining about other non issues.
9, It is just more fun to shoot when you don't have to yell at each other because you are wearing hearing protection.

Go to a machine gun shoot or find some friends who have suppressors and shoot them, then you will know why we want them.

It really is amazing to shoot a 50 and not have ear plugs the blue smoke is from the oil put in the extention to keep it from rusting and that was the first shot. After that all you hear is a rush of air no crack it's sighted in for 800 yards and you would not be able to hear a sound at that distance. He also made the tripod the whole setup weighs 62 pounds so with the brake on you can shoot it a lot and not bother your shoulder.

You can purchase supressors at Discount Guns in Everett, WA.  You have to pay a $200 tax stamp on them plus the cost of the supressor.  Legally you can own one, but it is illegal to discharge in the state of WA, unless class 3 or police, military, FBI, etc.  You can legally shoot them in Oregon and Idaho.  You just have to technically shoot them in those states as the law reads.

I had some fun with them today. Living close to Idaho is fun.

[hoytem]

ok , i want one too. I just don't have of a need. Do most of them come with a way to attch them or do you have to get some work done? Nothing I own has threaded barrels.

[Mookie]

Threading a barrel is very important, it has to be done to near perfection otherwise your bullet will hit the suppressor and you will have a very expensive pile of federally regulated metal.

A competent machine shop should be able to do it. I do not know where you live, but if you go to Axel in Spokane he will be able to hook you up with everything you need. He is pricey, but he also know what he is talking about when it comes to class 2 and 3 items.

Silencers are very popular for hunting in the UK - even air rifles I have seen over there have them. From shooting foxes to stag hunting in Scotland.... With lamping I think it is a requirement to cut down on the noise.

many CZ .22 rifles are threaded for a can.  mine is one of the few models that isn't

[h2ofowlr]

They are great for shooting grey diggers or marmonts in eastern Oregon.  They don't all run down into the holes at the same time.  Some have no clue until they fall over.  It ups the kill percentage with the .22

That used to be very common. Not so much anymore. And the thread pattern is Euro so you have to get an adapter.
