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.

One thing about mindless mobs and the politicians who bow to them: they’re predictable.
Yes, but the point is it should have been passed in the first 60 days along with repealing bammycare, tax cuts, defunding planned murderhood, etc.
It would have to be former Gov. Scott Walker.
He is the biggest POS in Congress, along with McConnell
I agree with Napolitano.
If they’re on my property, I want to hear them. Otherwise, they are a 2nd amendment issue.
So this was Hillary’s target.
honestly, this man has no spine, no place for spineless blobs in our government! Please vote in more true patriots and get him outa leadership role, and outa a job next time he is up for election.
What do you suppose the Clintons have got on him?
No, because some idiot idiot just murdered 58 people. Now is not the best time to push an NRA silencer bill. Just try to be objective and look at the optics of it.
They will say “we’ll get to it later”, but later never comes!
Scotty Walker? The Labor Union Slayer?
NOW, you’re talkin’!!
Instant gravitas of a well known brand.
LOL, if that is the case, then this one bill defines Paul Ryan for anyone to see.
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.
Yes, of course that is true.
Do you suppose the Clintons have anything on Nehlan?
Four weeks ago, Steve Bannon said;
“I’m gonna ‘Light Up’ Mitch McConnell!”
So far, nothing. No direct hits.
Maybe Bannon is not as big of a Game Changer as he claims to be.
This is a non starter as far as I’m concerned. Bump stocks should be banned as well... and almost certainly will be.
This honestly was a stupid bill in the first place.
As someone in hearing aids, mostly caused by firing M-14s without hearing protection during my military training, I strongly object to this bill being pulled. It scares me to think what the reaction might have been if Hillary was elected.
Why do we have a Republican Party? They have all turned to Rinos, save a few conservative members. I would love to see a hard core Conservative party emerge to stop the Uniparty now in power.
