I say if you guys can have them, then all Citizens should be able to have them.
Why is a suppressor considered "military"? (from the thread title)
That there even is ANY REGULATION on suppressors of any sort for anybody hits me as being uber stupid...
The fact that they are included in any sort of gun control regulation is provenance that congress is too ignorant about guns to enact any sort of law about them. Period.
Even countries that have the most severe gun in the world have no restrictions on suppressors. They even encourage use of them, for the obvious benefits.
Whether they are police, or anyone else should make no difference either.
The only thing that makes any sense at this point concerning suppressors, is deregulation of them.
