^Thank you. That is a much more explained response of which I certainly relate to and empathize with much more. Not that you owe me an explanation as you don't know me from Adam, but for the sake of the discussion we have been having, it definitely helps.

1. Silencers - I don't put much weight into the reasons for a silencer you posed. Home defense... your kids are likely to hear to louder from a low flying plane, unless you have to fire the weapon off right next to their head. Here, all the ranges I have access to are indoor and I honestly can't even hear weapons from outside the building. For firing a bunch, just wear ear protection... you wouldn't try to find a silencer for a grinder or table saw. Accuracy... I can't speak to that as I've never fired a weapon with a silencer.

As for a reason against silencers... it makes it easier to hide a crime.

2. Transfers - That sucks. That law seems designed as an encumbrance and money maker for the local municipalities. You live in a liberal state, I can only empathize with you and wish you the best of luck.

3. Lobbying - I was not saying only the right spends money. I was posing that there is too much money influencing politics. I could see how it could come off skewed as I did mention the NRA specifically.
