They're a common sense accessory; they make guns safer for the hearing of everyone around. That said, having 27 is silly. I won't begrudge someone an odd collection, though. Some people collect Magic Cards.
Right, there is no valid argument that is based on reality, not Hollywood fantasy, for restricting suppressors or taxing suppressors, a literal safety device. It's like restricting and taxing airbags on a car.
Automakers trying to make airbags a subscription: furious note taking
Plot twist: He doesn't own any guns. He just likes silencers.
It's a quiet hobby
Dude works in a gun store, guns are obviously his hobby. I collect old, shitty shotguns. Love the gunsmithing and woodworking challenges.
If I had the means, almost every one I own would have a suppressor. The deafening noise is the worst part of shooting, by a long shot (heh).
Owning and knowing how to safely use a firearm is an US right. I don't agree with the current interpretation of the 2nd Amendment, but the Supreme Court said so, and nobody asked me.
I'd encourage anyone here to seriously look into purchasing a gun and a silencer.
Also, a silencer won't save your ears. Guns are still super loud and a lot of bullets are supersonic. Get a can and some hearing protection and use both.
Of course, a lot of that probably depends on where you live.
The bill also drops the National Firearms Act fee on short barrelled guns. Fucking good! The shorter the barrel, the slower and less accurate the bullet/pellets. A sawed off shotgun is hilariously ineffective. So why are less dangerous guns highly restricted? The NFA was specifically written to fuck with the Italian Mafia.
Remember kids! Guns laws always have their roots in racism!
Know what really grinds my gears? Blacks, women and LGBT folks have been the largest gun purchasing demographic for the past several years. Wait...
Did y'all think you were just baggin' on white rednecks? Some of you suburban white kids didn't get the memo?
Know why California has the most strict, and idiotic and ineffective, guns laws? Because those buh-lacks were patrolling with open weapons to protect their neighborhoods from the pigs.
Notice how everyone protesting ICE is unarmed? Because ICE is only hitting unarmed populations.
WhErE mY 2a PeEps aT?!
Right fucking here, where ICE isn't.
Your head. Your ass. Remove the former from the later.
Suppressors shouldn't be illegal, and they shouldn't require special regulation.
Don’t do that. Don’t be yet another “progressive political” movement that goes down the gun control warpath.
“Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary”
Any machinist can make one, and probably for a lot less.
