So my thought is, the advantages they offer ethical hunters are far outweighed by the disadvantages of having every poacher using them.
Now if we could keep them out of the hands of poachers, I'd be 100% for them.

I don't think increased poaching would be an issue, they reduce noise but not eliminate it like in the movies, also it is very easy to make a home made one out of an oil filter. Lots of you tube video's it looks like as well about how to make a home made one.
Lots of bennefit while hunting close to urban areas like has been mentioned as there is a lower probability of disturbing urban residents
