2) aren't manly men who can tote a 26" barrel around all day and then do 100 pushups,
I prefer longer barrels, I usually don't hunt in brush, I can't do 100 push-ups (and don't want to try), I don't have a suppressor, but am not opposed to getting one.
Am I on the lawn??
I'm with you.
Probably an age thing, as the marketing gurus claim that people are forever imprinted with a perspective from their teenage experiences unless they subsequently had a major event in their lives.
I don't play golf with one club, so why would I hunt with just one rifle? Shorter barrels for use in tight quarters and longer barrels for situations where a greater length isn't an impediment. You don't putt with a driver and you don't drive with a putter.
I don't own a suppressor, never felt the need or the desire, but don't care what other people do and would like to see suppressors be an OTC item, not subject to NFA rules and regulations, for those who do want to own them.
