Why shouldn't they try it?

A shooter did a shoot'em up in Vegas , push was to ban the Evil bumpstock, from both alleged:cool: pro-2A advocacy group AND alleged pro-2A POTUS/Admin:scrutiny:, and...and...and....(wait for it)...


Many ''strrrong 2A supporters'' cheered (or did very little -same thing).


WHY SHOULDN'T THEY TRY IT?

Like stitches one week later to the same injury, Lessons learned twice are the hardest, especially the 2nd, 3rd, 5th time(s).
 
Well, I guess the HPA is now, officially, dead.
I just wish that politicians would think and legislate accordingbtomthe law, and not "react" emotionally to further their own agendas.
But, that is not going to happen, and we all have our rights restricted because of political agendas.
 
Liberals seem to be walking contradictions. On the one hand they claim that everyone is responsible for their own decisions and actions (women's "reproductive rights" and the like), then on the other hand they claim that people are NOT responsible for their own decisions and actions (gun control, "Affordable" Health Care Act, etc). Of course, the reality is that they are in favor of individual freedom to do what they (Liberals) agree with (speech, etc); all other freedoms can be restricted (or eliminated). Hypocrites. And they work very hard to disallow fact-based dialog that might demonstrate their ignorance and prove the folly of their proposals, because that might take away the momentum of emotional outrage which they capitalize on solely for political gain and to feed their narcissism.

Maybe we should organize a march with the rallying cry, "My gun! My choice!" for the cause of the Innocents' Right to Choose Self Defense.

You're right that it's never going to happen, and additionally it never was going to happen. For some reason, people keep mistaking our current POTUS as pro-gun even to this day when he and the majority of his party are not and have not been for some time.
 
I have stopped commenting because I’m so frustrated.
So let’s outlaw mufflers on our cars, trucks and motorcycles.
While we’re at it, my gas powered tools don’t need mufflers either.

The other posters are right, these aren’t common sense laws, these are ideals pushed by those who want to control us who learn about guns by what they see in movies, not by actually taking the time to do some research and know the facts.
 
They'll take any opportunity to ban whatever they can, whenever they can.

GUARANTEED they'll be back to wanting to ban handguns
Yep, they are just jumping on this opportunity to ban something the general public knows little about and they use that to their advantage. Lie about them, use the emotion of a tragedy, all part of the MO.
 
I don't understand why showing that suppressors do not "silence" and that firearms with suppressors still make a fair bit of noise is not helping.

Is that what turn article said?
 
"Regulated under the National Firearms Act of 1934, obtaining one legally means being fingerprinted and photographed, going through an extensive background check, registering the part with the federal government and paying the government a $200 tax beyond the cost of the actual suppressor, which averages around $1,000. After the paperwork, waiting for approval could take eight months or longer."

Buy back silencers for $1200.00 a piece?
 
Did the shooter legally own the weapon and suppressor?

Wonder what his background is

Odd how the media pretty much is all about the suppressor and not showing a picture of the killer.

Doesnt fit their narrative

Another thing that is never going to happen is H.R. 38 (concealed carry reciprocity). Notice how POTUS never talks about any pro gun issues any longer unless it's some negative comment like he recently made about suppressors, or bump stocks, or being in favor of ERPO's. The POTUS is AG, most people just haven't figured that out yet.
 
Would not surprise me if the weapon not legally owned. Wasnt there another mass shooter that wasnt supposed to own a gun....the system erred and they sent him a freakin letter telling him he couldnt have it?

Wonder how much crap this one pulled and got bye with it.....even if he stayed supposedly legal.

With the demonization of the supressor i doubt theyll ever spill the truth
 
City worker....proly was a Democrat. Not playing politics.....just saying it doesnt fit the media plan......so theyre blaming a metal tube for the evil.

As if he would have found a cure for cancer if he hadnt had that suppressor
 
If suppressors really made firearms more deadly, you'd see every one of these sicko's attaching oil filters to their muzzles.

Reports thus far claim the handguns and the suppressor was legally obtained.
 
Is there any legislation being purposed, or is this just yet another case of the talking heads flapping their neck holes? Are we going to talk about their plans and how to fight them or are we just going to rage at the main stream media? If the first, then awesome. If the second then I might as well close this now...
 
If he legally bought the items.....was he still legally allowed to have them?

Any violence or convictions that should have caused loss of rights?

Just had two judges shot in Indy.....late night......and while they found the guy....and arrested him......they let him walk out......no charges. Whole thing stinks of corruption.

Lots of bad guys get away w pretty horrible behavior
