Democrat Tim Kaine, who -- and people forget this -- is a member of the United States Senate who ran on Hillary Clinton's ticket last in fall's election (look it up!), weighed in on the gun control debate that is raging the aftermath of Sunday night's horrific mass shooting in Las Vegas. In a very special attempt to link his opposition to a Republican proposal to ease federal restrictions on gun suppressors to the massacre, Kaine explained how he believes local authorities were able to put an end to the shooter's reign of terror. Just so we're clear, this person is a sitting Senator who wields one of just 100 upper chamber votes on gun policy legislation:
He was only stopped finally because he did not have a silencer on his weapon. And the sound drew people to the place where he was ultimately stopped. Can you imagine what this would have been if he had silencers on these weapons?”
Hillary, who rushed to debase herself by immediately politicizing the Vegas attack, got fact-checked by the Washington Post for spouting similarly ignorant nonsense about "silencers:"
The crowd fled at the sound of gunshots.
Imagine the deaths if the shooter had a silencer, which the NRA wants to make easier to get.— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) October 2, 2017
Actually, even with "a silencer," it's pretty loud. An AR-15 rifle would have a noise equivalent to a jack hammer. https://t.co/rL1YFuAB5b https://t.co/YE9smBZqGG— Glenn Kessler (@GlennKesslerWP) October 2, 2017
That correction stems from an analysis in which WaPo awarded another Senate Democrat 'Three Pinocchios' for garbage assertions about "silencers." Now seems like the perfect opportunity to highlight one small but insightful snippet from a data journalist's much-discussed column explaining how her arguments for gun control "crumbled" as she examined the facts: "I can’t endorse policies whose only selling point is that gun owners hate them. Policies that often seem as if they were drafted by people who have encountered guns only as a figure in a briefing book or an image on the news," she wrote. Those people apparently include multiple US Senators and a failed presidential candidate.
Brilliant. . . Every now and then I cringe when I think how close we came to Hillary being president. . and this doofus potentially becoming President. Almost gives me the shakes. . Wake up America!!
The Left will never create laws to regulate mans creative efforts to defend himself. Also,they will never rid society of those who use their creative ability to create evil. This is why our nations founders wrote the Second Amendment. They understood mans creative power for survival must always be used to combat man’s endless power to do evil.
The first time I heard Tim Kaine, I jumped on these boards to dump on this yahoo. Here is a sample:
“Kaines words are those of a Social Justice, Liberation Theology Marxist. Hope to God Hillary does not drop dead before the election because Americas fools might just vote Kaine in with a sympathy vote. Kaine is the crap Hillary coughed up.”
This is half of the piece of sh*t ticket that the left wanted to dump upon America along with Clinton. It cannot be said enough how this country, for now, avoided its death knell.
One simply has to fill out the required State and Federal Paper work, submit photos and prints, pay a $200 tax, wait a few months approval (which always seems to happen) and he can take his "silencer" home.
Paddock seems a patient and methodical man. For whatever reason(s) he chose not to suppress his rifles.
Is this fake news, pure stupidity or just talking out of his arse.
Kain has no grasp of reality...
“Who reacts like that to a horse trailer?]
You know, no matter what one thinks about Hillary, its just wrong to haul her around that way; blinders and all.”
Too bad Teddy is gone...I would liked to have seen him take Hillary for a ride at Chappaquiddick.
A silencer can only take so many shots through it before it is no longer silent
This guy is really creepy.
The entire Congress is creepy.
Trump should drop a MOAB on them.
There would be dancing in the streets.
Taken as a whole, the U.S. Senate is the stupidest collection of people ever seen on Earth.
Illegal alien and green card vote fraud put Kaine in office in Virginia.
But the blame goes to Virginia establishment RINOs in the legislature who refuse to address vote fraud.
*I'll take the one on the Right*
Even if a “silencer” was 100% effective at absorbing the sound from the explosion of the gunpowder, it does nothing about the mini-sonic-boom from the supersonic bullet.
I’ve spent some time “pulling targets” in the pits for people shooting .223”/5.56mm ammo from 600 yards away; the sound of the un-suppressed gunshots was very dim, but the “crack” from the bullet passing overhead was very clear and obvious.
When that happens, I recommend looking at THIS to help fathom how close to the edge this nation came last year.
He is not, but his boyfriend is
it was stopped because he didn’t have nine lives.
