Suppressors are Legal

I continue to be amazed about the emails I get from people that simply cannot believe that a "regular person" is allowed to have a suppressor.

Let me answer a few questions here:

• They are legal. Sold in many gun store and even on the Internet.
• They require you file a Form 4 with the ATF.
• "Silencers" and "Suppressors" are the same thing.
• They are not as magically quiet as the movies depict.
• They protect your hearing.
• They do not make you into a mad assassin.
• They are expensive, more expensive thn they should be.
• I believe they should be allowed to use when hunting.
• They can be used when hunting in some areas. Check your local laws.
• I do not believe they should be a NFA item. It's Silly.
• The Fed tax stamp is $200 on top of the cost of the device.

--Sigh.
