| AWR Hawkins Destroys ‘Silencer Control' Myth (short video) |
| 2019-06-13 |
| [Breitbart] After the recent shooting in Virginia Beach, when the shooter was found to have a suppressor on one of his two guns, Breitbart News’ AWR Hawkins is back to debunk the myth that gun suppressors are "silencers." Good info, poor video. Your results (with a .45 or subsonic ammo) may vary. Take the time to clear your weapon prior to attaching any sound or flash suppressing device. |

| #4 Direct impingement AR-15 wrecked my hearing. By comparison a piston driven AR is a pleasure to shoot report wise. |

| #3 Those of us who are half-deaf might disagree... My argument against bulldog stocks exactly. Nothing good comes from still burning shells ejected in proximity to right ear and eye. I agree with M. Murcek as well. Thank Mr. Bond for raising public awareness of sound suppression which has little to no association with a weapon's carry-ability any more than specialty sights. |

| #1 I get Herb level flamed on gun forums for this, but I stand by what I'm saying right here: suppressors cost the gun rights movement momentum that rightly should have gone to national carry reciprocity legislation. I agree that suppressors don't belong under NFA regulation. (I actually agree NFA should be outright repealed.) That said, suppressors are a shiny toy that took too many gun rights people's eyes off the ball. |
