Using the anti suppressor logic would be to ban automobile mufflers. Law enforcement needs to be able to hear poachers, bank robbers or other criminals coming or going from a crime. To hell with hearing protection, we shouldn't tolerate silent or stealth transportation of criminal activity. Every civilian who drives a vehicle could learn to drive with ear plugs or ear muffs. Only proper law enforcement or government officials need mufflers so they can sneak up on any criminal activity. If your not committing any crime why would you care if people can hear you driving a vehicle? If a crime occurred, people would be able to give a time and direction of the vehicle being used which would be impossible with a suppressed engine. Yes it would cut down on noise, and you wouldn't have to use hearing protection when driving or are near a road but just think of the crimes that would be solved or prevented.
Sound stupid?.........that's because it is!........ By the way, so are suppressor laws. No difference.
