    They buy them because the “operators” they’re cosplaying as use them.

    The police and the military use them because guns are loud as fuck and produce muzzle flash – which are even worse in a poorly lit building. With a suppressor they’re not being blinded and can actually hear what’s going on.

      Yeah, you’re not going to convince me that something that helps police and militaries shoot innocent people in poorly lit buildings is a good thing. Ban em.
