    Maybe it's because they aren't willing to deal with the government fuckery of waiting 6 months minimum (in most cases) after paying yet another government **** you in the ass tax for a piece of machined still which has an artificially inflated price due to previously mentioned government butt fuckery and additional cost to manufactures trying to deal the the fuckery known as the NFA.


    But yeah, those guys not buying cans are just some cheap fucks. Thy need to take the government fuckery with a smile and be happy. When it comes to government, it's best to just relax and try to enjoy it.

    Too many people see movies like John Wick 2 and believe a "silencer" is silent and the favorite of super secret deadly assassins. Hopefully reality will prevail.

    This idea has been around much longer than John Wick.

    Something is going on, seems something or other has a bee in the bonnet of the Horny Housewives....

    Subject: BREAKING: Congress will vote on NRA-backed bill



    NRA allies in Congress are trying to sneak a dangerous gun measure through the Federal Lands Subcommittee -- a measure that would roll back gun silencer safety laws -- in JUST 4 DAYS.

    The NRA is trying to make it easy for felons and domestic abusers to buy gun silencers. And they're trying to do it under the radar -- in an unrelated bill, in an unrelated committee -- because they're trying to force this dangerous measure through Congress before we notice.

    But we noticed. And we're ready to tell Congress we won't stand for this radical bill. A radical bill that could prevent bystanders and law enforcement from reacting quickly in active shooting situations. A radical bill that the gun lobby and one of their top silencer spokespeople, Donald Trump Jr., are pushing to boost gun company profits -- no matter how bad it is for public safety.

    We need to tell Congress now to say NO to gutting gun silencer safety laws. Add your name to urge Congress not to roll back gun silencer protections. With one click, automatically add your name asking Congress to remove the gun silencer provision from the SHARE Act.


    While we're fighting to prevent gun violence and make communities safer, Donald Trump Jr. and gun manufacturers are looking for profits any way they can. In fact, Don Jr. has led a campaign to eliminate restrictions on gun silencers. And with this bill, the gun lobby is trying to get rid of background checks for gun silencers to boost profits -- giving dangerous criminals easy access to silencers.

    We know that during active and mass shooting situations, hearing gunshots can mean the difference between life and death. It's critical that we let Congress know how important this issue is.

    Sign on and tell Congress not to roll back critical silencer safety laws.

    With your help, we're going to keep pressuring Congress to protect our public safety laws.

    More lies.


    TBH, I'm not a fan of adding unrelated riders to bills in order to get crap through. Lot of shit goes through the system that way.

    But yeah, "mad bitches with no real problems to worry about" are full of shit in their description, just like all the other propaganda for brain dead bored housewives.

    Scanned through the 2.5+ hour Committee hearing. Witnesses were made up of Safari Club Intl. representing hunters and also on the side of the firearms deregulation, An former ATF agent representing Whatever Gabby Gifford's anti gun organization is called this week, a Marine who runs a non-profit for disabled vets and mainly was concerned with their access to the NPS and Steven Halbrook, an attorney who has represented NRA led cases and other civil matters concerning the 2A.
    Chairman McClintock was definitely in favor of passage of the SHARE Act, as it is, as were a few others as well. Others did not comment so I can't say where they are leaning, however the committee is 24 to 18 Republican if that matters at all.
    The only open opposition on the act was senior member Hanabusa who seemed to try and nullify the use of suppressors as hearing protection since according to the Giffords spokesperson, hearing protection was still recommended by suppressor manufacturers when using them. However, at the same time they argued that suppressors will masked the sound of a firearm to the point of being unrecognizable as actual gunfire. To me that seems like somewhat of a conflicting argument.
    Also, Junior Rep Gomez who only made a statement against the suppressor deregulation used the Christopher Dorner shooting as an example of what would happen if suppressors were easier to attain. It was very scripted and he never even looked up from the paper as he read the statement.

    The bill was considered for markup and that process will resume tomorrow.

    One highlight was one when one of the committee members (forgot name) corrected the 2nd hand account of the the Scalise shooting by the Giffords rep. He actually gave first hand account of his experience and said in fact that the sound of the first gunshot, which was argued that it was readily identifiable by the victims and therefore something that saved lives, was in fact not so to most, and only after one of the players on the field noticed the shot hitting the chain link fence was everyone aware it was in fact gunfire.



    Here are the firearm related items in the bill in case it wasn't posted elsewhere:

    TITLE XV

    HEARING
    PROTECTION

    Remove suppressors from the scope of the National Firearms Act (NFA), replacing the
    outdated federal transfer process with an instantaneous National Instant Criminal
    Background Check.

    Reduces the cost of purchasing a suppressor by removing
    $200 transfer tax.

    TITLE XV

    LAWFUL PURPOSE AND SELF DEFENSE

    Removes Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms and Explosives (ATF)
    authority to use the "sporting purposes" clauses in federal law in ways that could undermine the core
    principles of the Second Amendment.

    Eliminates ATF's authority to reclassify popular rifle ammunition as "armor piercing ammunition."

    Provides for the lawful importation of any non-NFA firearm or ammunition that may
    otherwise be lawfully possessed and sold within the United States

    Protects shotguns, shotgun shells, and certain rifles from arbitrary classification as "destructive devices."
