 I agree that it would be nice if more people would abandon the stigma against suppressors.
 In some countries in Europe, they are encouraged and even required for hunting purposes.
 I would hate to see them be made mandatory, but they should certainly be allowed for those who wish to hunt with one or simply for plinking.

Nice shooting Mark!  Glad you didn't shoot yourself in the foot with the trim!

Nice shooting, Mark!  Looks like Betty doesn't hold a grudge against you for the forced surgery!

Good shooting Mark!  Glad it is working out well for you.

Amen to the first part.  Just think about what this will do for shooting ranges when noise complaints are reduced or eliminated.
 
Are you sure it is 2%?  That seems very high.  With less than 1% (I think) of guns equipped with (legal) silencers, the crime rate should be much less than 2%.  If you have data I would love to see it. 
 
Do not quit ranting.  Rant more to your representatives in Congress and in your state if need be.  I keep reminding my WA reps that silencer use should not be ilegal in WA.

They are fun indeed!
