There's literally a bill going through congress right now regarding silencers for rifles. For the protection of the ears of hunters.
Makes perfect sense. Guns are incredibly loud, and wearing ear protection is a security risk for hunters.
But folks need to understand that "silencers" aren't really a thing outside of Hollywood and video games. The things people call silencers are really just suppressors - they don't silence guns, they only make them a tiny bit less loud. Actual, real silencers only work with small caliber subsonic ammunition like .22 rimfire, in single shot weapons, for a few shots. Low rate of fire, short range, no penetration. They're only really used to hunt vermin and obviously in covert ops.
There are a ton of important things regarding gun control one could discuss right now, "silencers" aren't really one of them. Bump stocks though, that's something that needs to be talked about. Or just outright banned.
