As it is, albeit illegal, anyone wishing to misuse one will need only improvise with readily available parts from bunnings and or the auto shop. creating a situation whereby all the "law" does is yet again treat law abiding shooters and firearm owners as criminals despite none of them committing offenses or harming others. Having suppressors available would be an OHS advantage if nothing else.

The noise reduction they provide (usually around 30 db) will help bring the gunshot noise below the 140 db threshold for hearing damage, but not significantly affect the ability of other citizens to hear the shot. It will however protect the hearing of the shooter and people standing by. There is no legitimate reason for their ban.

When my .308 winchester is fired the concussion and sound is so intense that my father, who is hard enough of hearing as it is, is deafened by the shot and tells me the ringing in his ears continues for the rest of the night. We have tried to use hearing protection for him but we cannot communicate when it is worn. Multiply this scenario throughout a night of vermin eradication and my father is left in pain to the point where we simply cannot continue and vermin continue to destroy our crops and hunt our sheep. For the sake of our livelihood and our hearing I urge that suppressors be made legal to acquire and own in all states of Australia.

To be able to use suppressors of sorts would help on the hunting front not just further safeguard my hearing but also others if hunting with me but also not disturb even more people for miles as some high calibre rifle and shotgun rounds do. Good luck with getting this heard, for too long on too many issues in Australia common sense matters get ignored. The basic facts is if people want to do illegal things with or to others with firearms they don't care of the consequences they just go and do it and clearly hope they don't get caught, it's time law abiding citizens stopped suffering further laws regulations and restrictions simply because of the stupid actions of a small few.
