An obvious no-brainer, is that silencers are the best method to preventing hearing loss among shooters. This fact doesn’t sit well with progressives obsessed with politicizing gun control.
Here’s the devastating blow:

This puts to rest the bogus claim from the Americans for Responsible Solutions that foam earplugs are the best way to protect hearing. That now thoroughly debunked claim, tweeted out as a “fact,” by the group led by former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, earned three Pinnochios from the Washington Post’s Fact Checker column.
Here are the facts straight from the guys in the white coats who actually went to medical school and who are able to draw medical conclusions based upon peer-reviewed scientific evidence.
“Doctors for Responsible Gun Ownership strongly supports making firearm suppressors readily available to the public as a critical health intervention to prevent Americans’ hearing loss,” said Dr. Arthur Przebinda, the group’s director. “Reducing barriers to firearms suppressor ownership and decreasing the likelihood of gunshot blast noise induced hearing loss and tinnitus in tens of millions of U.S. firearms owners will have no material impact on criminal firearms use.”
This is why these doctors support passage of the Hearing Protection Act of 2017, introduced in the House of Representatives as H.R. 367 and in the Senate as S. 59. They cited evidence of instant and permanent hearing loss reported by government and military researchers, as well as in medical journals.

You have to wonder why the Hearing Protection Act of 2017 is controversial with anyone. Ohh no, now all these darn right wingers will be able to listen to their Rush Limbaugh program without hearing aids. Is that what leftists are worried about? Poor liberals, can they survive the horror of reducing noise pollution at gun ranges?
The good news is that left-wing groups like Americans for Responsible Solutions are wasting their resources to spread lies about laws like this one, laws that will almost certainly pass. Every dollar a leftist wastes fighting the Hearing Protection Act of 2017 is a dollar they could have spent fighting for socialism. Every ounce of political capital they waste on removing silencers from NFA regulations is an ounce of political capital they could have used to further degrade our culture. So have at progressives! Keep destroying your credibility with your hilarious lies, America will be all the greater in spite of your effort.
The fact that other states allow the use of suppressors for hunting is not considered ? The reason is that when a hunter harvests food, other wildlife in the area is not disturbed and frightened, thus preventing harm to themselves. Many non-game animals are also in the same area as the game being hunted. Competitive and sport shooters wear hearing protection when at the range to protect their hearing, so a quiet firearm in the woods will make OTHER wildlife more at ease to continue normal activity.
I am a Gun Owning Democrat and I support removing Silencers from the N.F.A. I wished I had one a long time ago so maybe my ears wouldn’t ring all the time now. All I ask of the Pro Gun people is to quit saying “Democrats and Leftist” want to ….., call them what they are “The Anti-Gun group”. I’m sure I can’t be the only Democrat that is Pro-Gun that feels this way.
Great point Timothy. Thanks.
Question. Why are you still a Democrat with all the negative stuff Democrats are for? Not a single thing they want is good for the country. NOT A THING
why are you supporting the democrats? i personally am neither but the democraps want to get rid of the guns. as hillawitch666 said, i only want Australia’s gun laws. it is illegal to own a pump shot gun there. they say sensible but mean prohibition with guns. they have lost any votes i would give them. like i sqaid i fit neither party and will not vote democrapic because of their gun platform.
I agree, call it what it is….ANTI-GUNNERS.
Maybe not the only Democrat. But close. Just about all we hear from in opposition to reasonable gun dialogue is AGAINST everything.
Before Obama came along, being a Democrat was no big deal, But sense Obie was pushing Communism down our throats it has been a BIG deal. I wrote Diane Feinstein about this problem with the Communists & the Socialists but i haven’t heard from her as of yet. I left the Democrat Party along with others due to this problem. Study your history about the Communists, First thing is Gun Control, Next is they take control of all media services…………..
This is the best thing that has ever happen for Hunters and Sports shooters like clay Pigeons !!!
This is the best thing that could happen for hunting and sport shooting clay pigeons !!!! I have always worn ear plugs when doing either!! But still have a lot of hearing loss !!
Okay, Timothy, calling them what they REALLY are, Totalitarian Gun Confiscators. But the problem is while you certainly aren’t the only one, you are still stigmatized by political affiliation.
And I don’t care what the doctors say about it, As long as the Fiat ATF can do another anti-Constitutional business/home invasion and property seizures (business files and computers) of yet another private LEGAL entrepreneur Chris Barnes of Solventraps Tactical just last week in Florida after the one on SD Tactical just because of the possible ‘potential’ of making a currently prohibited NFA item out of common legal materials…and making an honest living at it.
And Trump has not yet disbanded and nullified all ATF disarmament agenda based administrative regulations and mandates, This majority but politically addicted wimp-ass congress will Never vote a clean nullification of suppressors from the NFA Act without some pusillanimous compromise like STILL having a background check on the material physical equivalent of a lawn mower muffler, so they can still know who has them for future quick confiscation when the time comes.
We better get our heads out of our asses and quit dreaming and start SCREAMING at our so-called Representatives!
