Thread Name: BS: Hunting with Silencers?
Subject: RE: BS: Hunting with Silencers?
If I were a tunnel rat in 'Nam I could justify a suppressor. If I were in certain Special Operations Groups I could justify it. But I see no reason to have one just because I can. I can own a Gatling gun (technically it's a single shot weapon) but I don't, even though I could buy one, all legal and above-board, for only USD 49,999.00.

One of the last things I want is making it legal to pack a gun in a bar! 90% or more of Ye Olde West towns didn't allow you to pack heat in town -- and they WOULD arrest you. See Bill Hickock, Bear River Tom Smith, Bat Masterson, etc.

If the law in Georgia passes they're going to run slam up against Federal Law. Guess who has trumps....
