Of course people are not allowed to "blast his neighbor because they made him nervous". However, the second amendment does not preclude personal security. Self-defense is quite legitimate.
>Damn, DH was telling me that in Texas, they ACTUALLY legalised SILENCERS for HUNTING??!! Why? So someone can POACH more easily without having their gunshots heard? Really?/ RIDICULOUS. You know they're going to be used for all the wrong reasons. As in MURDERS, etc.
Hopefully you understand that silencers do not work like you see in the movies, where a BANG is turned into a "ffft".
Here is a gun shooting subsonic ammunition with a silencer. This is about as quiet as it gets:
When you shoot with standard-velocity ammunition it's even louder. All these things really are is safety equipment for the shooter. You still have to wear hearing protection, but it's not as loud. It's also a courtesy for those around you.
