silencers are banned because they turn any gun into a silent long range sniper kill death weapon, and only crims 'need' then, cause only crims 'need' a silent weapon gun.
At least thats what the TV tells us
I don't get the fuss about silencers, they don't make s**t silent at all..

Only time I reckon one would come in handy is shooting around farm houses etc to lesson the annoyance of those who live nearby.

I'm going to take a stab here... I think the fuss isn't about silencers itself - but about the underlying reason why they are illegal. Which is a misunderstanding and mistrust to LFO's. The reason we can't have silencers is based on the same misinformation that causes other issues for us.
If we accept and are happy about the way silencers are treated, then it just leaves open additional abuse using the same logic.

It would be great if it was easy to expose those grubs.
