80% Firearms Silencers: How America Got Here ~ VIDEO

How did we come to the situation where people are not allowed to purchase a simple hearing safety device over the counter, which they can easily make at home? In addition, they are not allowed to make it at home, without jumping through the same silly bureaucratic hoops, at a significant expense?

Silencers are most useful as a safety device designed to prevent damage to the ears. They make shooting more pleasant and avoid noise pollution, as the inventor of the silencer, Hiram Percy Maxim, envisioned. Maxim invented the silencer in 1908, 112 years ago.

They are also the biggest scam in the US gun world.....$700.00 for something I could crank out for around $25.00.

Might not be near as pretty but it would be just as functional.

Note how the Maxim can was off-center so you could use the regular irons of the time.

I have a Stevens break action pistol just like that one I'd love to put a Maxim on.
