New South Wales now allows recreational hunters to use of silencers (sound moderators).
In other jurisdictions silencers are prohibited because they are seen as being too dangerous and associated with criminal activity.
Sound moderators are a public safety issue. If you can’t hear gun shot, then you can’t run.
The push to legalise sound moderators is straight out of the NRA handbook.
Currently in America there is Bill before Congress called the Hearing Protection Act. This Act seeks to weaken the regulation of silencers in America.
Don’t let this happen here!
