So, it is being reported that the ATF is buying suppressors for their “health and safety”.
ATF response to story:
“We can confirm that suppressors were provided to qualifying agents in the Criminal Investigation Occupation Series 1811 for health and safety due to the extensive training and quarterly firearms qualifications they must complete. For operational purposes, ATF does not comment on specific firearms used nor the number of firearms held,” ATF’s Public Affairs Division said in an email.
Sounds like suppressors should be over the shelf for all firearms owners. Most of us shoot way more often than quarterly. No one should be denied basic gun safety equipment.
