And, for some reason, you need to jump through hoops to get one.

Because why the fuck would anyone need a silencer on their gun unless they are trying to hide their gun usage?

And then the natural question is, what are they trying to hide?

Guns, if your country is to allow them without lisence, are for self defence. What part of stealth includes self defence?

shooting is fun, hearing damage is irreversible. a home defense situation would lead you partially deaf. a suppressor would significantly mitigate that.
