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 |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
