Sound of Silence... Surefire Suppressors!

[colt45cz75]

Suppressors are illegal because people who should know better believe everything they see in the movies and on tv where a firearm is involved.For example, that they are primarily the tools of assassins and organized crime. Also, we have nitwits who think there will be a rash of poachers out shooting everything they can because the gun is silent. It's all a pack of lies, but we're stuck with it,unfortunately.

suppressors save hearing ! i would buy some even if its taxed 100%

Movies are the biggest problem... you watch a movie or TV show and they make like they are silent. They should be called mufflers instead and maybe we can get the uneducated to support them.

the canadian government is the biggest problem

even by the UKs strict firearm laws,we had suppressors on everything

With over 40 years of shooting my hearing is getting worse one of these would have made a huge difference

supressors should be mandatory in canada

 

[Teac]

Canada has its own way to make guns silent ..... (by taking them away from you)

 

[halv18]

Are they chrome lined? Not interested if not

Literally the ONLY piece of safety equipment that's illegal in Canada!

So frustrating.

It’s outrageous, and completely irrational.

Errrr, what about my SMLEs?
This is the one worry I have regarding arguing this issue from a safety standpoint....

How about NO, I dont need people telling me what to do !

 

[kombayotch]

Yup, glad I moved to a place that has more reasonable gun laws.

Don't see the appeal of Surefire cans though. They're loud AF! The only one that's "hearing safe" is the SOCOM 300 SPS (on a 300 Blackout).

We voted in a Big-Azz Supressor... stupid Canadian voters...

Gov could tax these babies at 100% and they would still sell like hotcakes.

The gov't tax grabbers "hopefully" would not tax a piece of safety equipment such as a sound suppressor at a rate different than any other type of safety gear.
Folks gotta push provincial and federal health & safety officials on the suppessor issue to allow their unrestricted use by all shooters.

i actually pushed an outfitter friend of mine to bring it up at their annual convention.
its this sort of org ( the shooting orgs are useless ) that could challenge the government under the OH&S regs.
workplace hearing loss is a big thing or obviously not here in canada

Personally I think it could be pretty feasible to get suppressors allowed in Canada. We are one of the very few western first world countries that don't allow them on any level. It just has to be done smartly.

No kidding. Canada is ripe with the most idiotic politicians from just about every angle.

And the idiotic electorate that put them there, people for the most part haven't a clue who they voted for, hence this diabolical situation we are in.
