Fake Suppressors/Cool Flash Hiders?

Also how about people using AR 22lr conversion kits? That's seriously reducing the Db of the AR.... hmm vague indeed.

Except that a 22 conversion kit doesn't reduce the sound of a 22 Rimfire shot.

I agree with your first sentence but disagree with the second. In the UK, they took the government to court and won. Our laws are essentially the same as the UK laws and thus suffer from the same weakness when it comes to supporting a ban on silencers. Our government would never willingly reverse the ban but it could be possible to force it through the courts.

This white paper contains most everything you need to know on the subject.

Which individuals or organizations took it to court in the UK?

Wasn't aware that the law is written in such a clear cut fashion, that the sound reduction is specified for the ammo calibre only and not the firearm calibre. My point is that the law is vague so it can be interpreted differently as it suits the occasion.
