I agree with everything you say here, it’s just that we all know the depth of cowardice in much of the R party.
The suppressors are so dangerous that I have never in my lifetime heard of a murder with a suppressed firearm....outside of movies. The addition of a suppressor makes a handgun as hard to conceal as a rifle.
It’s real value is on a rifle anyway, IMO.
“What are the arguments for not passing this? “
For starters...
Democrats want us to believe that all gun-owners would then be able to noiselessly assassinate wide swaths of the citizenry. Thousands would die with just a mere “pffft” from a silenced gun...mostly women and chilluns, of course.
Seriously.
I agree with everything you say. The problem is that you are arguing logic on what will turn into an issue about feels. You’ll never win that way. The average voter will be too easily swayed by hysterics and lies.
