I’m sure you’re referring to Bump Stocks which are already illegal.
There’s no such thing as a gun silencer. There are sound suppressors which will reduce the report of a fired round but it doesn’t come even close to silencing it. A suppressor is more of a hearing protective device than some nefarious tool of death and destruction that you try to make them out to be. Show us some data on how many mass shootings involved a “silenced” weapon.
Please. I implore you to stop posting with your feelings and start using real easily verified information. |
Awwww. I am truly sorry that my expression of feelings and emotions would hurt someone else's feelings. I was merely trying to express myself in a TRUE freedom of speech manner. In the future, I will try to turn it down. And I DO know the difference between silencers and suppressors. The general reader here would NOT have a clue as to that distinction, only gun enthusiasts would. In 1956 my father show me how he attempted to make his own version of a silencer for a 22 rifle. It was able to neither silence nor suppress the shot report (nice technical word there for those ballistic aficionados) it was just as loud as originally. And I again apologize in advance because some may be offended by my mention of my father.
..........And "guilty as charged" that IS the 2nd time that I have written bump stop instead of the correct term bump stock..........but I do know what my general intent was ......to show that a person could easily and cheaply convert a semi-auto into effectively an automatic. And I believe that it WAS illegal, BUT (I think.....don't take it to the bank) that a JUDGE recently UNDID that law to make them back to LEGAL. And further, I believe that it was NRA membership money that provided the lawyers to make that CASE. Now, I am out on a limb on this one because I have NOT yet asked Mr Google if he/she would support my limited memory on that one. Please feel free to saw off that limb if that is the important thing to do when using a Forum.........try to shoot down (guns reference) any and ALL people that one has a difference of opinion about.
I keep making the mistake of believing that the IDEA of a public forum is for members to COOPERATE by voicing BOTH facts and OPINIONS so as, to come to a BETTER understanding of local, state, national, and world news and situations. I, myself, read posts with plenty of spelling errors, many, many punctuation errors (some just run everything together without a comma or a period), and EVEN some posts that are barely intelligible (as if written by a 3rd grader). But, I RESIST the temptation to JUMP on them and criticize them.
