They are NOT “silencers”. They are sound suppressors. Huge difference. But again, we have ceded the terminology of the argument to the left. Time to stop being stupid.
You guys really want the ATF to visit your homes unannounced just to have these?
Where’s Aaron Rodgers? :)
I have one for my CZ-75b. Trust me, the ATF unannounced inspection is an urban myth.
Yes.
And they also used to be mandatory in many urban areas.
No, no, no! You don’t understand! These Silencers are REALLY silent!
Remember the old Chopper One TV show? When the Police wanted to sneak up on the criminals, the pilot would reach up to the overhead panel and flip the SILENCER switch.
All of a sudden, no Whop whop, whop!
Gun silencers work the same way.
(need I say it?)
/S
Friend of mine owns two gun shops - they go in there all the time unannounced.
Yes, of course... Licensed gun dealers have to put up with that. I do not.
What many don’t realize is a “silenced” weapon also requires sub-sonic ammo to be “silent”. Most Americans out there who would purchase suppressors if they become legal will still run conventional ammo and not sub-sonic down those bores.
Terrible! Trump and Republicans want people to have ASSAULT WEAPONS with DEADLY SILENCERS firing COP KILLER BULLETS!!!!
If it wasn’t about left wing politics, OSHA would have already required silencers. Seems kind of silly to show up at the range all decked out in safety glasses, ear muffs and no silencers.
Interesting you say that - he says otherwise.
I wouldn’t even want to take that chance.
A serial killer in Vermont used a silencer in the killing of at least one of his 11 victims.
...
Seems to me the real danger was the serial killer, not the silencer.
Silencers/suppressors aren’t a yuge deal to me, but the precedent of not treating firearms-related laws as holy writ and the momentum of actually daring to repeal some has to be a good thing. Up till now that hasn’t been the case, and debate has centered solely on new legislation.
Maybe this will spread to the other 60feet of federal laws, codes, and regulations.
How do the bullets know the targets are cops?
I already own several. The ATF has never visited me. Once they’re stripped out of the NFA list of restricted items, they will be regulated like firearms. Your NICS check will be the closest thing to a visit from the government that you will ever have to worry about provided you are a law abiding citizen.
