The problem in the US is that those that know guns the most(The NRA) are writing the laws. Then they get their stooges in congress to pass them. Or they get their stooges to block any law they do not like.This whole hunters need silencers is a red herring. I hunt, I have shot guns since I was a teen. When I shoot I use hearing protection. If you do not wear hearing protection that is your problem.The sound of gun fire allows for safe discharge of weapons. Also, here in the country it allows us to know if someone is illegally shooting or poaching on our property. In the last 5 years I have caught 5 poachers because of the sound of gunfire. Also, people shoot on public land around here. The sound of gunfire is an effective warning signal.No one has yet produced an adequate reasonable argument why a legal, ethical hunter needs a suppressor. Maybe you can be the first.

Here is a good place for you to start. Look at the ownership of media outlets. Don't fall for propaganda do your own research.

Personally I think we need to wait for the experts and law enforcement to come up with the evidence or reasoning for his actions. Armchair psychology does no one any use.

That is just a plain silly argument. You are saying why have laws, people will just break them. This argument actually undermines your stance.

But the entire argument misses the point, because the purpose of laws is to describe the most ideal set of rules and conditions that, when followed, produce socially optimal outcomes.Punishment in the form of fines, jail time, and social opprobrium functions as the enforcement mechanism behind these laws.So, it should be clear that the point of law has nothing to do with its adherence; that’s the point of law enforcement.

That is not hunting. That is pest control.
