Rory,
You are more concerned about encroachment and restrictions than I am. Maybe your decision to band together with other gun owners will have a positive outcome and you'll have the knowledge that you sacrificed your time and effort to champion a cause that benefited not only you and your family, but all those people who didn't have your foresight and your commitment.
Me, I'm content to count the years until the kids are done with college, my Wife chooses to retire, and we can move to Vail and live the Colorado mountain life. Pure, unadulterated Fudd.

Travis I'm looking forward to use those guaranteed landowner permits and to be able to walk out the door and ski every day that Beaver Creek is open if the mood moves me.

I don't ski so I won't care if they ban skiing. Travis

Probably end up getting nailed as a felon in Colorado after you hand your rifle to your friend to hold for you while you step over a fence.
Illegal firearm transfer. Off to jail with you!
But since this doesn't affect Nebraskans, I probably shouldn't care?

I guess that "quiet" is a more important consideration for some folks than it is for me. Same reason you put a muffler on a vehicle

Maybe your decision to band together with other gun owners will have a positive outcome and you'll have the knowledge that you sacrificed your time and effort to champion a cause that benefited not only you and your family, but all those people who didn't have your foresight and your commitment.
Me, I'm content to count the years until the kids are done with college, my Wife chooses to retire, and we can move to Vail and live the Colorado mountain life. I've read some stupid posts on the fire in the years I've been on here but you sir, take the cake, as they say!! Absolutely moronic post sir. Maybe you can self medicate in Colorado to help ease the pain. If you don't care sooo much as you say then why even post such useless drivel? Just to prove to the campfire how idiotic you really are? I have two cans currently waiting on the tax stamp approval. Not that I feel I need to justify anything to you but I purchased the 22 rimfire one so I could teach my 5 yo little girl how to shoot and try to make it more enjoyable for her. So, hopefully, she will have a much greater appreciation for the rights she has than you obviously do. You are the infestation plaguing this once great country. It's the all about me attitude!! Who cares as long as I get to do what I like. How hard do you think it would be for Colorado to decide they don't want to issue the landowner permits you can't wait to get? If they don't have a problem crushing the Bill of Rights how much of a problem do you think they will have taking that away? GFY (and not in the pleasant campfire way) Dick!!
The time is drawing nearer for the American People to stand up for what they believe in. To stop having their rights trampled by the a$$holes in Washington D.C.

This thread has been enlightening as I had not really given much thought to suppressors. After reading through it, I have identified the following benefits: 1) hearing protection for the shooter and those nearby 2) politeness in not annoying those within hearing distance 3) not startling game in the vicinity of the shot 4) introduction of new shooters to the sport without the noise turning them off 5) the chance, through use and/or support, to establish one's cred as a True American 6) the opportunity to add to one's collection of "cute" firearms-related terms through the use of "cans"
Can anyone add to the list, or conversely, point out any negatives about them?

They're expensive.
Both dealers I have used (two separate ones) sucked. And I mean, they SUCK.
If you use one at a public range people will ask you a lot of questions about "how you got it." Even though they have no intention of ever buying one.
More difficult to get out the window of the truck.
Next to impossible to test before purchase (for most people)
Few people have multiples of the different types. Meaning one guy won't typically purchase three different cans designed for 22LR, so getting an objective, unbiased review is difficult. Meaning you pretty much have to buy blind.
Idiots that can't figure out their usefulness for sporting purposes and having to explain it as they go cross-eyed and keep mumbling "tactical."
That's some of the drawbacks. Hope this helps.

Yes and this too,
Most only work correctly with the correct ammunition, meaning sub sonic.
Many do not work at all........
Yea really

Travis I am curious as to this as well. I have yet to see a suppressor that didnt work correctly...some of them are crap, but they all do pretty much what they are supposed to.

You do realize that each dB rating is specific to the exact platform tested on, correct? Unless you are shooting the exact same gun with the exact same ammo as used in the testing process, its only a rough estimate....This is not false advertising, or poor construction, its just the way it is.

Thanks you for confirming what I wrote. They just don't work!
