Obviously, the term "silencer" is a misnomer. Its main use seems to be to add drama to a dull movie or fodder for a dull politician. If you strive for accuracy, don't let the term "suppressor" stand alone in this context; use the term "sound suppressor." And the term "gun suppressor" should only be used to refer to politicians. Best of all, why not use a term that far more people are familiar with and that most accurately describes the function of the device? That term is "muffler." It does exactly the same thing in the same way on a car, motorcycle, lawn mower, firearm, etc. And it's used for the same reason: to protect the hearing of those around it.

This Democrat sweetheart was pro-gun when she represented upstate NY. When she became a Senator over al of NY suddenly she was ant-gun. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
