a supressor doesnt make a weapon deadilier, or more usable to gun down masses of people. Its a hollywood myth that suppressors can make you gun down a crowd without anyone knowing.
What a supressor does is make sure you dont permanantly deafen yourself if you have to defend yourself in your own home, where potential close quarters could result in serious earing damage otherwise, and make responsible practicing with such weapon less damaging to your hearing and more manageable
You're speaking to the choir
Because people defending their homes, aren't exactly planning on it. It'd be great if acosters would notify people beforehand, but being assholes, they choose not to.
