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 suppressors–as they are already legal–rather, 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.

MAKE SURE NEHLAN WINS THE PRIMARY!!!
You mofo...
Damn Hillary's black heart to hell.
Paul Ryan (D-Wis)
Wait, suppressors weren’t used in the attack.
Now we know why Clinton sent her tweet. To provide political capital to kill this bill.
Chaos is a Ladder.
These people make me sick.
What an obedient puppy he is. Obeying before the order was even given.
If Paul Ryan is going to be beaten, it will not be done by
Paul Nehlen, as much as I respect his candidacy. We cannot forget, Nehlen LOST TO Ryan BY 68 POINTS!!
Let’s not allow our anger at Ryan cloud our judgement. Nehlen
is too green a candidate to convince people to take a chance.
We need someone with a thicker political resume, if they exist.
Why was a bill sitting there since January? I get holding off now because of the optics but why is this not law her anyways
COWARD!!!
please Steve Bannon take him out! God I detest this democrat.
Is NEHLAN a viable candidate to run against Ryan?
Come on, any NRA backed legislation is toxic for the next few months. It would be idiotic to push something like this right now. All they did was shelve it - set it aside for a better time.
Leftists: A terrible thing has happened! Quick! Punish the law-abiding!
Why? Because some idiot late night talk show host says so?
Ryan’s got a bigger Pink Pussy Hat than Hillary.....
Suppressors never curbed crime, but sure would help with hearing damage.
It only just recently got out of committee.
The dems have had it bottled up in committee. We busted it loose... and then this happens - even though the event had nothing to do with suppressors.
Exactly. The pearl-clutching on FreeRepublic has gotten nauseating.
Ryan is starting to make me miss Boehner
