Noise
Noise is a measurable phenomenon. It is measured in decibels. No one is inquiring about the decibels of the sound receiving the complaints.
Many years ago the Sherwood Park Fish & Game Range received constant complaints about noise. A meeting was set up to be at the complainants location while shots were fired at the range. It was arranged to have shots fired at a certain time while members were at the complainants residence. Now this occurred before cell phones.
Range members visited with the residents awaiting to hear shots from the range and then decided to drive to the range to confirm that shots were fired. The members undertaking the gun shots said they had completed shooting some time ago.
This use of facts ended the problem.
If you can prohibit a gun from making a sound at any decibel as most respondents in this discussion are advocating then you are confiscating the purpose of a firearm and that is the essence of "Confiscation ".
