The left swoops in!
 
A great article from the Chicago Tribune:

"The dead weren’t even finished dying in Las Vegas before the left swooped down to feed on gun
control politics."

Saw this on Facebook:

In a case of a DUI, the driver is at fault.

In a case of a bombing, the bomber is at fault.

In the case of a shooting, the gun is at fault.

I see that they are going after the "hearing protection act" too, in
spite of the fact that the people in Vegas did not recognize the gun
shots until they started seeing people getting shot.
It is the only time in history that I can remember people wanting to
keep ear damaging equipment as loud as they can. That is certainly not
true of cars, motor cycles, leaf blowers or lawn mowers.
They are now trying to ban loud generators in some places.
Since a suppressed center fire rifle is still 130 dB or higher these
people who think it is "silent" should shut the **** up about 90 dB
leaf blowers.

What a wonderful name..."the hearing protection act."

I don't see any problems with the current regs regarding suppressors. I
got one without any fuss or muss...I bought the device, the dealer stuck
it in his safe, we filed the paperwork and paid for the stamp, and I got
approved. Yawn.

This whole "silencer" thing is ridiculous.

Brought to you of course by progressive liberals.

And most silencers lose effectiveness after about 5shots.

No fuss? Create a trust, lots of paperwork. Sounds like a lot of fuss and
unnecessary expense.

The trust and stamp adds $300 to the cost of the suppressor, and there's a wait of about 4 months to get approved. And now you have to be fingerprinted to be in the trust for new purchases.

It's a PITA.

Uh, no. And they are suppressors, not silencers. Silencer implies a shot
with decibels so low you don’t hear it.


I understand that, but common usage is silencers. Suppressors may be
confused with flash suppressor.
