Passion among supporters and opponents of a bill to legalize silencers ran high on Thursday during a hearing by the Minnesota House Public Safety and Crime Prevention Policy and Finance Committee.
Gun rights advocates sported buttons that read, "Self defense is a human right," and opponents wore large stickers that said "gun injuries and deaths are preventable." So why is this such a hot topic? Read on for a closer look at the bill and the issue. |

| Alas proponents of "silencers" - regardless of the physical realities, the history, or the documented benefits of these devices - are facing a hysterical majority whose "scientific data base" includes a lot of hollywood movie sound tracks, mendacious anti-gun activists, and "zero" personal experience. |

| Just the title, "silencers" is misleading. More accurate to say "suppressors" since they only take the edge off the explosive sound. It's better for hearing and noise pollution in general. |

TO REMEMBER |
| ...If a man lies under oath or procures the lie of another under oath, if he perjures himself or suborns perjury, he is guilty under the statute law. Under the higher law, under the great law of morality and righteousness, he is precisely as guilty if, instead of lying in a court, he lies in a newspaper or on the stump; and in all probability, the evil effects of his conduct are infinitely more widespread and more pernicious. — Teddy Roosevelt - May 12, 1900 |
