Kirsten Gillibrand: How will the police solve gun crimes if people are allowed to use silencers?
Hot Air ^ | March 14, 2017 | Allahpundit

Oddly enough, criminals haven’t yet deduced the allegedly awesome crime-evading powers of the silencer. A Chicago PD spokesman told Steve Chapman earlier this year that they rarely recover silencers in gun crimes; an ATF study found that, of 1.3 million silencers in use in the United States, an average of … 44 are used in the commission of crimes annually. Why would America’s felons leave a tool like this at home when, per Gillibrand, it could mean the difference between capture and escape? Are they idiots?

All motor vehicles of makes and models used in crime need have their vehicle silencers banned.

Electric cars allow criminals to get away undetected.
Ban them as well.

Why not just use a knife? Apparently knife crimes are impossible to solve.

Maybe kirsten saw a “silencer” tie wrapped on to a Colt Python .357. We all know how well that works.

It’s simple Kirsten. They just have to listen for gun shots a little more carefully, DUMMY!

“We can take a picture of the gun sound to identify which gun was fired”

IIRC, Chicago has a network of gunshot-locating sensors. Not so useful if a properly used silencer is involved.

If the gun sound don’t fit, you must acquit.

In a pinch, a pillow works well, and it is disposable, and cheap.

So does an empty coke or water bottle. In parts of Europe it’s common for suppressors to be used on hunting rifles to not disturb people who might either be or live within earshot of a non muffled rifle and it also helps to not spook the deer they are hunting; particularly if there are other hunters in the area.

Yes, they should be legal, and without any kind of extra paperwork. It’s just another firearm accessory.

Oh it’s not silent, but sounds closer to suppressed pistols in the movies.
