Would the crowd have heard the guns’ report from 400 yards away, if the shooter used silencers, and fired from well inside his room?
No.

However from less than 100 yards away and firing outside the window like he was the crowd would have heard it.

The victims might have heard the sonic boomsâ€" the snap like a ladyfinger firecracker going offâ€" as the bullets arrived at the concert still supersonic.
But would they recognize that as gunfire?
Would they know what direction it’s coming from?

Even without a silencer well over half the the people didn't know it was gun fire until they saw people being shot or was told it was not fireworks but gun fire. Nor could anyone tell where it was coming from.

I think Hillary Clinton’s got a legitimate point.

I don't.

There “IS†additional risk in deregulating firearm silencers.
They can be used by criminals to make their crimes more effective, and to delay (or prevent) being pinpointed and confronted by cops.

So exactly what would change if they were deregulated?


P.S. I own silencers and have seen a lot of other ones used around me.

I bought the tax stamp and built a "silencer" just so having and doing it was crossed off my bucket list. I built it for a 308 rifle. It does not silence the rifle to even close to hearing safe. The 308 though much quieter still sounds more like a .22 magnum fired from a short barrel revolver. Not even close to a .22 LR which was my goal. All that aside I had fun in the build process. I have no desire to own another and outside of the test shots it has remained in the safe since. Mostly because I have been too busy to take it out. With the slowing down I am finally experiencing I hope to get with GS and try it out at least once more before destroying it as a totally useless item. Since you can't really silence a good dear hunting round they are mostly novelty and only good for small game hunting with a .22 or similar round.
