Most firearms related crimes happen with handguns because you can easily conceal a handgun. You can't easily conceal a handgun with a suppressor.Paladin wrote: ↑Fri Jun 07, 2019 5:06 pmclarionite wrote: ↑Thu Jun 06, 2019 3:54 pm I was very disappointed that the Hearing Protection Act wasn't passed in the first two years when we held both chambers and the white house.
Any criminal that wants a silencer can make one. But the facts, straight from the ATF, are that very few do. According to the ATF, only 6 felons per year are caught with illegal silencers. I have no problem continuing to make a felon in possession of a silencer a crime. My problem is that law abiding citizens are having their constitutional rights infringed upon by the NFA.
I'm going to say currently besides bumpstocks, we have been making grounds at the federal and state level. While not where we should be according to the Constitution, we actually haven't been eroding guns rights at a state or federal level in the past few years. It seems with all the rhetoric, we hear constantly, that we are actually losing when the fact is we are not gaining back what was taken away decades ago. Because many other states have passed Constitutional carry and Texas has not, it seems like we are losing. We are not restoring the 2nd Amendment as fast as I (and I'm sure many others) would like.Charles L.

It is time the other side gets cut. Multiple times. Our side is tired of losing. And don’t even say the word compromise.carlson1 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 06, 2019 4:06 pmBump stocks not worth dying for, suppressors not worth dying for, low round magazines not worth dying for, ammo not worth dying for, carrying a firearm outside your house not worth dying for, etc.... where do we say NO?jason812 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 05, 2019 6:39 pmThe Annoyed Man wrote: ↑Wed Jun 05, 2019 12:52 pm They can ban them all they want.

They are not hard to make. Even easier if you have the right tools and know how to use them.
Bump stocks were not a sword to die on, are suppressors?
