...yes, really? Gun fire is indeed stupendously, dangerously loud, which is why we have suppressors and heavy hearing protection for them. And there are indeed significant public/legal fights around outdoor gun ranges that end up near habitation (even if it's not the range's fault at all but rather because construction moved towards it).
So I'm not really seeing how that's an argument that people not wearing earpro would be fine with regular 108 dB booms over where they live/work. People aren't happy even about small engine noise and rightfully so, and it's one of a few core reasons for switching to electric.
- ranger_danger 3mo agoMost gunshots people hear are not right next to them and so won't be anywhere near 108 dB to them.
- bobthepanda 3mo agoalso, there are neighborhoods with extended amounts of gun violence and discharges and I can't say that the residents "don't mind it"
