NRA Backs Georgia's New Hunting Legislation
On Tuesday, NRA-backed Senate Bill 301 introduced by state Senator John Bulloch (R-11), was referred to the state Senate Committee on Natural Resources and the Environment. SB 301 would allow Georgians to use lawfully-possessed silencers (also referred to as suppressors) on firearms for hunting.
While silencers/suppressors do not eliminate the sound of a firearm, they do reduce the muzzle report of a firearm much in the same way that a muffler reduces exhaust noise from a car or truck.
There are many benefits to silencers/suppressors:
(1) they increase accuracy,
(2) make shooting more enjoyable by lessening felt recoil and reducing muzzle blast,
(3) protect shooters’ hearing and
(4) help reduce noise pollution.

Good, they are quieter so you don't disturb the neighbors. They are suppressors not silencers, guys who own them use the term hollywood quiet when they get a good one. Hollywood quiet is the unobtainable pfffft sound you get in the movies. People are very mislead when it comes to suppressors, they are great tools.
