""A bill has been introduced in the new Congress that has gun owners, the NRA and many silencer manufacturers excited. The Hearing Protection Act has been reintroduced to the new congress.""

Exactly how many homicides result from silencers? BTW, they ain't exactly silent.

One big reason for the lack of an answer,

""In comparison, firearms killed 33,636 people. Yet no national databases exists for gun deaths. And that's a problem, because without even a statistical outline of the impact on life and limb that guns have, public health researchers can't begin to figure out deeper, more complex questions to ask.""



Just another adolescent argument put forth for another toy from the addicted to the ways of the gun.

They're very quiet if you shoot a sub-sonic round (you don't get a crack as the bullet passes the sound barrier). For example, a .22 pistol shooting a subsonic round through a silencer is extremely quiet.
