SUPPORT CA SB 710!
I stand with Firearms Policy Coalition in strong support of SB 710. SB 710 deletes the felony prohibition on possession of a firearms sound suppressor (or “silencer”) and authorizes the lawful use of these devices while hunting. Noise induced hearing loss and tinnitus are two of the most common afflictions for recreational shooters and hunters. Suppressors reduce the noise of a gunshot by an average of 20 – 35 dB, which is roughly the same as earplugs or earmuffs. By decreasing the overall sound signature, suppressors help to preserve the hearing of recreational shooters, hunters, and hunting dogs around the world. This is a very reasonable, common sense measure. Even in many European countries such as Germany, Norway, Denmark, and Sweden, where gun ownership has not been the cultural norm and gun laws have been historically strict, suppressors are treated as important hearing safety devices to help mitigate hearing loss for recreational shooters and reduce noise pollution for communities that live near or around hunting lands. I strongly urge you to vote YES on SB 710!
