A few years? I mean, they've been legally obtainable since they were invented.

Legally obtainable and easy to make one yourself. They aren't the boogey man you think they are.
You have repeatedly supported socialist positions and systems so if the shoe fits, wear it. Socialism always leads to totalitarian oppressive government. Always. The so called "successful socialist" countries are not socialist they are capitalist welfare states on the verge of collapse and they know it as evidenced by the cutting of services, more oppressive laws, restrictions on firearms, self defense and free speech. I seem to remember you were against the police in dealing with the riots after the election and supported BLM. So, sorry your memory is so short in your support of the position de jour of the Leftist, your idiocy is your burden to bear.
I think the biggest thing keeping suppressor crime down is the mandatory 30 year prison sentence.
In February 2013, Americans watched in horror as a disgruntled former Los Angeles police officer, Christopher Dorner, terrorized Southern California. Over nine days, Dorner killed four people and wounded three others during a mass manhunt.
As police investigated, they wondered why nearby residents weren't reporting the shots. It turned out that, in an effort to conceal his murders, Dorner was using a silencer, which distorts the sound of gunfire and masks the muzzle flash of a gun. (Silencers do not completely silence gunfire, as some Hollywood movies would have you believe.) In expert hands, say SEAL Team Six, silencers have been used to help covertly take down the likes of Osama bin Laden. But in the hands of criminals, like Christopher Dorner, they pose a serious threat to law enforcement and the communities they serve.
What data points? Zero data. This is me talking. My opinion.
Is it your opinion that silencers will not have any positive value for criminals?
Don't be like this Gelston. Just don't. Be better. You surely know that they've been heavily regulated since 1934 much like machine guns.
Ya, I support BLM. I'm anti police brutality and abuse of power. I support Law Enforcement. Those things aren't separate.
Socialism's working well in much of the world no matter how many times you say it's one the verge of collapse. It's simply a system and not inherently evil. That's a biased point of view you're expressing and far too simplistic to be taken seriously.
Yes, I read that breathless opinion piece too. The fact that they compared him to Seal Team Six is what makes it clear neither you nor the author understand what it takes to make a gun actually quiet.
You keep referring to Dorner in your arguments. You clearly seem to think it supports your position.Quote:

I don't believe suppressors by themselves are effective at making gunfire undetectable, nor are they or will they become widely used.Quote:
