THE N.R.A. AND NOISE ABATEMENT

The N.R.A., as we speak, is sheparding a bill through Congress which will lift restrictions on the sale of gun silencers.  Despite the meritorious work in noise abatement, critics, of the bill, offer petty arguments, like the fact that victims will not even know they are under attack, until they see people dropping around them, if silencers are used.  The N.R.A. says that the rights of the audience to hear the music undisturbed outweigh those of the victims.
