Ron,

My garden pests have antlers. There are days when I wish I had a suppressor for my 458 Winchester.

(Oddly enough, a shortened version of the 458 case with a subsonic load was used on an experimental basis for a short range jungle sniping rifle in Nam.)

Back in the good old days most suppressors were found on 22's and the like. I've heard this is still the case in New Zealand.

Also back in the thirties the class III catagory was established not so much because of criminal activity as because of the Red scare. As opposed to today's gun control movement which exists not so much because of criminal activity as for the sake of governmental control of the common man. (Now I'm starting to rant and rave again!!!)
