The change in loudness would have to be proven to make a difference first, which you have not done here. A gun with a suppressor is still a very loud gun.
"A 30-decibel reduction in theory means an AR-15 rifle would have a noise equivalent of 132 decibels. That is considered equivalent to a gunshot or a jackhammer."
Are firearms with a silencer 'quiet'? - The Washington Post
- leot 9y ago> "The change in loudness would have to be proven to make a difference first" What do you specifically mean by "proven to make a difference"? Suppressors are known for being used by intelligence services -- presumably they're not using them to protect their agents' hearing.
- CompanionCuuube 9y agoI'll take your point into consideration that deregulating silencers will increase their usage by intelligence services.
- leot 9y agoHuh? That wasn't my point. It should be blindingly obvious that silencers/suppressors have a use beyond "hearing safety". Namely, that they allow someone to shoot someone else without attracting as much attention. Are you claiming otherwise?
- CompanionCuuube 9y agoI am claiming that you are taking the example of intelligence agencies and expanding it to all crime, which is not honest in the least.
