Letter: Whose ears is Mike Lee trying to save?

Anyone who has been paying attention lately knows that Utah Sen. Mike Lee supports the legality and use of sound suppressors on firearms. He says that these devices "protect the hearing of the shooters.”

As it turns out, one of the largest manufacturers of these “silencers” is one of his donors. Gotta support your people, right Mike?

Someone has to tell me what possible use, benefit or value a silencer has in this otherwise gun-crazy country? In the recent active shooter case in Virginia Beach, victims didn't recognize warning gunshots due to a suppressor being used by the shooter.
