Noise suppressors on ordinary firearms are of little use to criminals, terrorists, etc. They reduce the amount of noise, but only from very loud to just loud. That said, using subsonic ammunition, readily available for .22 caliber firearms, does allow a silencer to make the gun very quiet. A criminal could also hand load subsonic ammunition for other calibers. That's why they're strictly regulated, as they should be. There is no compelling reason to repeal the law. Shooting can be done in a location where the noise will not bother anyone.
