Suppressors are not the problem. Laws again...Meh. Suppressors are not the problem. Laws against suppressors are like laws against switchblades. They don't affect real world problems.<br /><br />Suppressors are legal to own. If you can pass a background check you can own one. <br /><br />There is no such thing as a "silencer". A gunshot from a suppressed rifle or pistol is still quite loud - just not up to the level you'd come to expect. There are very few crimes of violence that would somehow be enabled by a suppressor.<br /><br />Shooting with a suppressor is a transformative experience. I have fired suppressed .22s, 9mms and .45s. The reduction in blast and report makes it more comfortable, less tiring and more accurate (assuming the suppressor itself isn't impacting accuracy). <br /><br />If you're hunting a deer legally, with a license and a tag, in the right place with an authorized weapon, there's nothing inherently awful about using a suppressor.<br /><br />Our gun problem is handguns. In cities. It is kids killing kids, and poor, desperate kids being brought up in a culture of violence and incarceration so that there is no cultural disincentive to just shooting somebody who in other times you would just go try to beat up.<br /><br />If we could just limit the explosion of handguns in urban environments, if we could get the handguns out of the hands of kids and gangs, if we could do something as a society that says carrying a gun around town with you is NOT ok, then we'd begin to reduce the slaughter.<br /><br />The problem isn't rifles or hunters or high cap magazines or "cop killer bullets". The problem is lawmakers passing laws to make it easier to carry concealed, that make it harder to say "No Guns Allowed Here", that limit the ability of jurisdictions to create their own gun laws and now, worst of all, laws that actually encourage people to shoot other people, promising them that, regardless of the circumstances, they are protected from prosecution. <br /><br />That is obscene....mikeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13057701313718589322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8537045684820674531.post-51533090153753346652012-03-31T16:27:59.076-07:002012-03-31T16:27:59.076-07:00Also: I've heard that Texas just passed a law...Also: I've heard that Texas just passed a law allowing one to hunt deer with a silencer.<br /><br />Because, you know.<br />~ifthethunderdontgetya™³²®©https://www.blogger.com/profile/06252371815131259831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8537045684820674531.post-7635841522464796972012-03-31T13:32:14.188-07:002012-03-31T13:32:14.188-07:00We'd do well to pay more attention to the peop...We'd do well to pay more attention to the people who wish to do the opposite of improving our lives here.<br /><br />Often, they're the same people who want to drop bombs on those in other countries.<br /><br />So win-win, IF we can fight them...<br />~ifthethunderdontgetya™³²®©https://www.blogger.com/profile/06252371815131259831noreply@blogger.com
