Re: San Antonio gives new silencer law some press
so, how do "silencers" go against "making a humane kill"?

Re: San Antonio gives new silencer law some press
As if poachers would allow the law against hunting with silencers stop them if it were still in effect...
I think the guy quoted about humane kills may feel that the animal not being able to hear the first shot in case of a miss may not run, and therefore it's somehow less sporting, that's all I can come up with. Whatever, everybody is entitled to an opinion. He's welcome to be as sporting as he'd like in my book, I'd like to see him hunt with a spear or atlatl, that's being a sportsman! I'll err on the side of being hearing safe, I am very pleased with the new regs and like many think it's way overdue. I'm somewhat surprised to hear as I have that some hunters are opposed to silencer use for deer, as I really don't understand their qualm. No matter where you are there's always some crotchetty fuck who doesn't want to do something or doesn't like it and therefore thinks you shouldn't be allowed to. I defer to my signature below.
Obviously the person who wrote the article doesn't know alot about NFA topics as he implies that the new game regs require a special permit to be able to use a silencer for hunting, but it doesn't. He may have been confused about the tax stamp/ATF approval for ownership aspect, but there is no state permit here in TX.

Gee, another NRA member against the use of legal firearms. What a surprise. I suppose he is against bows, snares, traps and other less noisy methods of hunting?
