Can we make silencing the scumbag politicians legal instead?

 

[IrishMick]

Holy fuck! These shit monkeys are just flinging it against the wall and hoping some sticks. Someone tell these dumb fucks that suppressors are as heavily regulated as machine guns and have been since 1934! Not to mention that they are really not used in crime, are not that technically advanced that anyone could make one, and they don't silence the gunshot!

Seen too many movies. Pew pew!

 

[Robin]

........and the pro gun org's are all but silent. Huh, sumth'ns work'n.

And why? Because heaven forbid you save your ears! Or hey, how about not bothering your neighbors when someone kicks in your door, you just quietly take care of things! It's being neighborly now isn't it...?

 

[Carlos Hathcock]

Good, let them since "silencers" don't exist.

 

[Saltwater60]

I know all those hired assassins use them to execute people. This will save many lives..... in the fucking movies.

[That_FNG]

If only we could have laws regarding suppressors like they do in England

 

[Carlos Hathcock]

Yup, they're all completely..............silent.

I think this will all backfire. People are so sick of this nonsense that they won't comply with the arm brace crap. Then they'll just make their own cans. At that point they'll think to themselves "may as well go for the trifecta". Then you'll see people starting to convert their guns to full auto. At that point they'll have even more of the stuff they want to ban in the wild. After the initial arm brace non compliance people will have broken the shackles and realize they're free.

A lot of people did that with SAFE. They just said FUNY. They still obeyed the fed limits, but once you decide to say F them as well, then the only thing holding you back is the cost of the ammo.

Even in some heavily anti-gun European countries, suppressors are mandatory at ranges for hearing protection.

 

[Robin]

If I said I could make one in an afternoon, would it fall on deaf ears.

Well...you wouldn't be heard outside of your prison cell.

 

[fresch]

It is coming from people who can't do math + and - let alone % etc., how could the know about breaking the sound barrier?

3D printer goes (whhrrrrrrrrrr)

Whew, it's a good thing solvent traps aren't illegal.

Completely disagree. Otherwise law abiding People will comply just as they have done with every other law. Sure a guy may have thirty round mags at home or an unregistered assault weapon he would never bring to a public range but the penalties are so bad on these that compliance is high.

you haven't actually looked at the stats about compliance after 2013, have you.


Fuck complying with these egregious, unConstitutional, fake laws.

[SonOfSun]

Interesting, well I never purchased one nor ever really wanted to. Was more pointing out that people are creative and will come up with alternatives such as oil filters, etc. Cat and mouse games will continue forever.

You got me there, the AW compliance in this state is terrible, but...if people are hiding these they are complying to a large degree even if they think they aren't.

I've seen many at local ranges. People aren't hiding them, they just aren't announcing what they have.

And, personally, I think the AW compliance in this State is awesome. Would be better at zero, but there are always those who are happy to be controlled.


I'm not one of them.

Not just NY the other states that followed the same path also had compliance rates near single digits.

While there are a lot of people who did the dance to remain technically in compliance (the sales of epoxy and funky looking stocks can attest to that) they did *not* give up their guns, and one of the major concerns was "how easy is this to reverse if I decide I need to".

It may be compliance with the letter of the law, to avoid the severe threats, but it certainly isn't compliance with It's spirit, and was only done as far as it wasn't seen as permanent.

And most of the really rural citizens probably don't go to a public range for most of their shooting anyway. I know I didn't.

Constructive possession seems a little off to me. If you can be charged because you have the parts needed to build something, then anyone with beer in their fridge and a car in the driveway can be charged with DWI, because they have everything they need to drive drunk.

Most of suburbia has the fixings for IEDs and suppressors in their house right now.

A quick trip to Walmart could look like the end of an episode of the A-Team.
