People abide by the law, pay $200 for the stamp, wait for it to come and legally purchase the suppressor.
Then, this bunch of communist jackasses come along with this BS. There is NO rule of law anymore. They’ve more than proved that with the riots, the election fraud, the capitol shooting. Why even frickin’ bother with ANYTHING coming out of DC anymore? The bassturds have zero credibility...NONE.
Suppressors also don’t alert the entire area of game animals that you are in the region. By shooting at one animal without one, it clears all the others out of the legal game area; making other hunters out of luck for the season.
Because ……Phhhtt... Phhhtt... Phhhtt...
death and mayhem...
SO are they banning mufflers on cars and studio equipment and microphones that dampen noise as well?
Only the oligarchs and their enforcers may have the cool toys. As always.
You’re missing Menendez’ point.
“Law enforcement and other personnel” are the only ones with a Constitutional right “to muffle the sound of gunfire from unsuspecting victims.”
I meant it as a joke ... but it probably isn’t!
I suppose cities want to use sensitive microphones put up around their cities to detect where the gunfire is originating. Gun silencers would hide such activity. This is the only thing I can think of why they want to ban them.
I thought that little tµrd was convicted of something sleazy...Did the fix get put in?
Liberals are very STUPID!!! Silencers are only for hearing protection! PLEASE Let us vote for PRES. Trump AGAIN!!!!!
Pedo sick f ck
Up through the 1990s...I just don’t think there were that many silencers out in the general public, or interest in getting them. Over the past twenty years...some fascination has started up, and I’d bet on the number that ATF says....1.5-million in the general public.
I do agree this new technology of ‘listening-posts’ (technology from the Iraq War period) is bundled up and cities could invest money into this, but it’d be worthless if the trend with silencers continues.
Yup. If the bullet is traveling >1,100 FPS there will be a sonic crack.
ZERO suppressors used in mass shootings by idiots, just like ZERO guns bought at the infamous “gun show loop hole” used in same.
“The first time I got a chance to fire a suppressed weapon, I loved it.
No chance of seriously damaging your hearing.”
The violent firearms incidents where a suppressor is involved is near zero in our nation.
This is a bull shit law not based on any kind of valid statistics.
What is really happening here is that someone has watched too many shoot em up movies and believed the hollyweird script.
I think the paperwork on a class III weapon or silencer requires you to have a safe and let the ATF inspect it anytime they want.
