An infographic accompanied the tweet with the additional claim “You know what protects your ears better than a silencer? Ear plugs.”
For an organization with “Responsible” in its name, ARS clearly has no concern over responsible reporting of “facts.” For starters, firearm suppressors without question protect the hearing of shooters and hunters. You don’t have to take our word for it; according to the Center for Disease Control (who isn’t known for being particularly friendly to firearm owners) “The only potentially effective noise control method to reduce students’ or instructors’ noise exposure from gunfire is through the use of noise suppressors that can be attached to the end of the gun barrel.” |

It's a shame when the CDC says it right and the NRA says it wrong on a firearms issue.
CDC: “The only potentially effective noise control method to reduce students’ or instructors’ noise exposure from gunfire is through the use of noise suppressors that can be attached to the end of the gun barrel.” Notice they say "noise suppressors".
NRA: "For starters, firearm suppressors without question protect the hearing of shooters and hunters."
But "firearm suppressors" are politicians and their mostly democrat running dogs on the left.
Careless use of our language has its consequences.
It doesn't take that much extra effort to get it right. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy ... censorship. When any government, or any church, for that matter, undertakes to say to it's subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything. You cannot conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." --Robert A. Heinlein, "Revolt in 2100" (Pg. 68-69, Baen Books paperback edition, 1999 printing) |
