Some areas even require them as to not bother others with the excessive noise. More night hunting? This is an illegal activity to begin with. Anyone with the money can legally own silencers. Legalizing them for hunting will not change what a criminal will do. Silencers for small game (squirrels and such) have been in use for decades in many parts of Europe.

So you need to ask, what is their real agenda. To Old Man; Keep your dogs on your own property. When they come on mine, it's open season on dogs. I have food plots, and feeders, and I don't even hunt, but when dogs come on my property to chase deer off, they are the invaders. For these reasons, I wish Florida would either outlaw dog hunting, or enact stiff fines for violating peoples property rights.

It isn't very directional of a sound, though, is it? I don't personally care. I'm not planning on shooting animals and if I ever have to shoot a person, I want him to know about it.

As well as the fact that bullets traveling faster than the speed of sound will still "crack" once they break the sound barrier. You'll need subsonic ammo to hunt with, a lot of manufacturers sell this for certain calibers.

Oh wait, I see now who will benefit. "Knox Williams, president of the American Suppressor Association" and of course....

“Knox Williams, president of the American Suppressor Association”

and of course….

“Buck Holly, an owner of C&H Precision Weapons in LaBelle, projected that by lifting the ban, sales of suppressors at his Hendry County business would grow from about two to five a month to up to 10 a month”

Seriously? What's next, full auto .50 cals? Hand greneades for fishing so you don't have to mess that annoying rod and reel? There is absolutely no reason anyone needs a silencer to hunt deer, gray squirrels, OR armadillos. Silencers for hunting? Seriously? What’s next, full auto .50 cals?
