Silencer Legislation

A place to discuss regulations, or the over regulation in most case, that our members have to deal with in their respective countries. Hopefully discussion will lead to more rules based on common sense, rather than fears by the government.

Well we can hope. Chances of the current dictator signing anything like that are slim and probably none.

Considering the recent supreme court decision supporting NY's firearms and magazine ban, you have the same fight coming your way that we lost here.
With that stupid Clinton nutter praising our firearms steel back and destruction of our property and how she thought it could and should be done over there, your fights just beginning.

On UK government-owned forestry land, they're now compulsory.

But according to the Australian government and anti shooting Lobby that would turn anyone who hunts on forestry land would become a sociopath sniper assassin.

They are legal in Ireland, but you have to show a valid reason to need one and permission to own and use one is at the discretion of your area superintendent. Luckily I have a great one working in the firearms department who will grant one and always processes renewals promptly. Then compare my experience to a friend in the next district who was refused permission for a moderator and has to chase his renewals.

I take it that they do not understand the difference between moderators/suppressors and "silencers"? Mind you, sociopath does come a little close to home.... :shifty: :shifty:

I think they'll become compulsory in more and more UK contexts. (On health and safety grounds). I recently switched to using one, having previously been the only person I know who didn't, partly because it is increasingly considered anti-social/irresponsible to hunt with an unmoderated centrefire. (I'm not saying that is the case, just that it's becoming the prevailing view in the UK).

I wish they would look at WH&S here as reason to let you use one, you can only get as it is if your a pro shooter.
So they look at it as a tool for professionals for silent killing rather then as a noise reduction device.
Their not silent their just not a normal ear shattering loud bang.
