Because I feel that if I don't excersize my rights someone will believe they're not relevant.
Because It aggrivates anti's.
(Just kidding, sort of, about that one)I think we've somehow let the anti's frame the debate into "Why should you be allowed to?" instead of "Why can't I?"

I am thinking of getting my Class III to buy a suppressor. When I mentioned it at supper the other night with my mother and a friend, she asked me why in the world I would ever want a suppressor. I explained that when I'm hunting, I don't wear ear protection because I want to be able to hear the sounds around me. That makes shooting while hunting more damaging to my hearing than shooting at the range. A suppressor makes it safer for me to hunt. Then I turned it around and asked her, why shouldn't I be allowed to own safety equipment that makes it safer for me to do a legal activity?
