It’s interesting how laws influence public perception. Here people have a hard time understanding a need for suppressors outside of crime, yet we’re the only country I can name where they are illegal.

Now that you mention it John Wick killed like 30 dudes with one. He would have gotten killed off in the first act without a suppressor.
