The UK should remove the moderator (silencer) licensing requirement for firearms
Moderators (silencers/suppressors) are designed to reduce the volume of a gunshot. Modern shooters & those around them deserve the best in hearing protection, and moderators can help provide this. They should be treated as a safety measure, without the need for expensive FAC variation.
In many countries throughout the world, moderators are treated as devices to protect the hearing of shooters and those around them.
Removing the requirement for a moderator to be held on a Firearms Certificate would help shooters to further protect their hearing, and would reduce the effect the sound of shooting has on other people & the environment. Furthermore, it would also help reduce police workload as police would no longer have to process certificate variations for moderators.
