Two days after an attacker opened fire on concert goers in Las Vegas, House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wisc) announced he was shelving legislation to deregulate suppressors.
-snip-
Ryan has now shelved the Hearing Protection Act, which was introduced into Congress on January 9; it is the legislation containing suppressor deregulation. The Act does not legalize suppressorsas they are already legalrather, it removes the burdensome process for acquiring them and erases the federal tax that must be paid in order to receive permission to posses one.

Thank you Mr. Ryan...
Sigh, and what is “anti-gun”? This bill doesn’t legalize a single new gun or ban any that exist... nor does the banning of the sale of bump stocks, which are an aftermarket accessory.
So please me hyperbole name caller, show me what gun I am anti.

The man has been the most obstructionist political player in U. S. History, when it comes to passing bills while the sun shines when your own party holds power.
We could say the same thing about McConnell. They have fulfilled the same duties, as if a full fledged Democrat.
The number one and two Democrats on Capital Hill today, are Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell.

Yet, not a PEEP of protest from either chamber about the ‘leadership’, not a PEEP from the (R)NC, let alone a *threat* to kick ‘em off the ticket/defund.
Silence is consent, no? ‘18 should be REAL ‘interesting’ around here...
She’s still running for POTUS. Anyone who doubts that is blind.
I did not know that RINO spelled c-o-w-a-r-d, coward. That is what the former republican party is now. They make me want to puke. I wish to hell we had a third party, the Conservative Patriot Party of America, so that we would have someone to vote for. I quit the RINO party because of GW’s garbage. He was no better than his daddy and both sucked in my humble opinion. So, no more do I give them a dime. If there is not a person that I like, trust, believe in, then I skip that particular election position, and move on down the ballot. I must have jumped at least 1/3 of our last ballot. Those pukes make me want to PUKE!!! COWARDS!!! Whiners. Wimps. Babies. John McCain’s children.
I couldn't care less. Honest ... I tried. Just ain't happening.
I have no problem standing by my statements
That, by itself, is a problem. For all your time here on a supposedly conservative forum, you still fail to understand the Constitution on which our Republic is founded.
" ... the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."
Yes, that includes "bump stocks", which you want to ban. It also includes suppressors, the ownership of which is severely infringed. You are in the same camp as Sarah Brady, Dianne Feinstein, Chuck Shumer, and Hillary Clinton. Your anti-Constitutional beliefs are completely out of place on a supposedly conservative forum. Turn your brain on.
I don’t care how long you’ve been here. You’re still a gun grabbing incrementalist. BTW.... I believe that the Gun-Control Act of 1934 was UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
Stupid? Why are you even on this site? You make me want to puke. You freakin wimp!
You are a total homo.
Stand by your homo gun opinions. Loser!
Sadly not the first and not the last time.
If he were honest, he would register as a Democrat.
That's probably the only thing that saved you from getting the ZOT like the leftist douchebag who posted @ #103 in this thread.
He’s quite the dumbass.
You make a valid point, but it also demonstrates everything that is wrong with the system.
Where did the ship go so far off course, that these seats need to be filled by career politicians, that have no legitimate experience in the real world? Ryan’s existence has been in government, in some form or fashion, since he was able to work. He and his ilk tell us that they’re going to control spending, balance the budget, and cut waste every time they run. And they do nothing but increase all of it, because they’ve never had to make a payroll or be held responsible for the books. They just raise taxes.
I’d like to think that there are at least a few decent ones, and I know there are, but at this point, all of them need to go. We need a complete new slate, with term limits and the banning of any of them from being able to lobby Congress or any federal agency.
That’s true too.
They weren’t used because they melt at such firing speeds. I love when leftist idiots spout off about guns in the morning.
More likely planned for this particular event.
HUH?
What did you say? I couldn't hear you.
Nevermind.
You couldn’t be more correct.
To be fair....
It had no chance of passing in the current environment. We’re better off shelving it than having it get shot down in congress.
Live to fight another day.
