Reply #133: Thanks for clearing up the GOP-Brady Center propaganda. Some more...

In Texas and other states, it is legal to hunt feral hogs at night on private land (the same goes for many varmints). Here, a flash suppressor is useful for those firing multiple rounds in infested areas. Further, various night-scopes are legal as well.

One thing the various game & wildlife agencies should do is follow the European example of REQUIRING silencers in the hunting field as this accessory is believed to minimize disruption (by reducing noise) to various species.

One of the stupendous myths promulgated by the GOP-founded, GOP-led Brady Center is that components on semi-auto carbines enhance firing from the hip. This is absurd. These components are specifically designed to provide better control and accuracy when firing from the SHOULDER. Even old FBI films showing agents training with the hoary Thompson sub-machine gun reveal that the agents are all SHOULDER-FIRING the weapon.

But at least the Brady's share one thing with me: a like for Edward G. Robinson films.
