Perhaps banning Muslims from buying any weapons, especially guns and ammo. I like that modest proposal instead.
“Thinking about” and doing are 2 different things.
If he DOES do something regarding this, THEN we can let him hear from us.
I’m sure The NRA will too.
EVERY promise to Israel was kept.
Where’s our wall?
Now this.
A little NRA demonstration of silencer/no silencer for the Pres should get his mind right.
Oh, Please. You already need a “mother-may-I” slip from the BATF for one. They are already regulated and do not increase the lethality of a firearm.
I am, overall a Trump supporter, but if he continues on this firearm accessory banning trend he’s going to lose just enough support to not be re-elected. I hope he stays away from it.
Headline doesn’t match what he said at all.
“I don’t like them. Well, I’d like to think about it. I mean nobody’s talked about silencers very much. I did talk about the bump stock and we had it banned,” Trump said. “We’re looking at that. I’m going to seriously look at it.”
He’s very clearly saying he’d like to think about silencers, because he doesn’t know enough about them. He’s saying a lot of people talked about bump stocks, but no ones talked about silencers.
All he’s saying here is he’s going to seriously look at the issue, not at a ban.
He’s probably never used a silencer and like most of the public, doesn’t know what it takes to get one or what they actually do.
Gun mufflers can only be good for the hearing health of all Americans, especially Seniors and Children.
And Women....
Suppressors are legal in France, Mr. President. You don’t want us to look wussier than France do you? :)
Gun-free zones are insanity at this point.
Just think what difference it would have made if one or two people in that Virginia Beach Municipal building had been carrying. They were all sitting ducks and it took at least ten minutes for any help to arrive on the scene.
BTW, all the NRA needs is more trouble to deal with, as I understand they are not exactly financially sound after the rift between Oliver North and Wayne LaPierre.
Does a suppressor slow a bullet down or make a gun deadlier. I don’t think so.
Mr. President ... give me a call, you are about to make a rookie mistake.
"Oh yeah, I've often thought ..."
Obama said "Squirrel!" so many goddamn times, Trump sits at home and watches this '08-'13 and realizes, this is where we are at as a nation.
Lets concentrate on the border - all these illegals are causing undue stress on the citizens some of them are snapping.
A Glock G17 9mm, firing Remington 147 grain ammo.
Unsuppressed: about peak 162 dB, similar to a jackhammer or a large aircraft taking off from 10m away. Damaging to hearing.
Suppressed: about peak 126 dB, similar to a chainsaw, or a rock concert near the speakers. Still damaging to hearing.
Since Trump doesn’t respect the First Amendment (Julian Assange is being charged for publishing facts about war crimes), why would we expect him to respect the Second Amendment?
Relax; it’s not going to happen. Merely a “shiny thing” diversion to the leftist wackos.
As if he would not have done it if he did not have a suppressor? Idiots! Every day this country gets more stupid than the day before. If I were still a young man I would be looking for somewhere else to move to. Believe it or not there are other countries that are not buying into the silly global warming, transgender, anti-god theme that stupid Americans are falling for every day. The America I grew up in and loved enough to put my life on the line for 24 years is gone. Just gone! So I guess I will spend what time I have left here and hope my dependents will forgive me for my part in bringing them into a world where America no longer exist.
He’s celebrating homosexual pride month and now this. While illegals continue to pour in.
I have serious moments when I think we’re being played.
How does banning suppressors stop anything?
It’s a non sequitur
