How is a flash suppressor a threat? You’d think it would be required. Frankly, a noise suppressor should be required.
“How is a flash suppressor a threat?” The Federal AWB was all about cosmetics, and a flash hider was one of them. I think Feinsten’s goal was to have a readily-recognized visual she could use for conditioning the public.
During the Clinton AWB there were over a million ARs sold sans hider or bayonet lug and the antis seemed to be fine with that.
Run! He’s holding a flash hider!
Most flash suppressors have an external diameter that lets them accept the tail boom of rifle grenades with a 22mm internal diameter, thus they can function as grenade launchers.
Of course, a grenade launcher can come in handy when a jihadi terrorist decides to drive through a crowd of unarmed citizens. Accordingly, the Massachusetts Attorney General is giving those enemies aid and comfort and adhering to them- not us.
“Features” scare liberals more than anything. To liberal a silencer makes the “pfft pfft” sound seen in movies. To a liberal a “dum-dum” round will scramble your insides and instantly kill you even if it misses you. To a liberal a Teflon coated round will pierce 24” of hardened steel, 3 feet of concrete, 2” of polycarbonate, and STILL go through level 3 body armor. To a liberal a flash suppressor will render a weapon invisible and impossible to locate where shots are coming from. To a liberal a bayonet lug makes you bullet proof as you charge cops. To a liberal a fore grip makes your aim instant and accurate even shooting ‘from the hip.’ To a liberal the weapon of choice for drive by shootings is a Barret .50
And of course liberals lie. No one needs an AK-15 that shoots clips full of glocks at 500 magazines per second.
