Now I may be drawing a long bow here but I would have thought that the criminal use of suppressors would have prompted the introduction of regulations controlling their use. I would have thought that if a police officer could convey to another police officer that the legitimate use of suppressors out weighs the potential criminal use. Considering that the majority of gun crime in Australia is very much more intimidation than silent use. Most gun crime does not even involve firing the gun. Why would a suppressor, which increases the size, weight and ability to conceal the weapon. Be beneficial to a criminal?
    It seems damned strange to me that one professional would seek to contact another professional through a hunting and shooting site? Why not use your work contacts and net works?
