Feckless Washington Pols Are Calling For A Ban on Firearm Sound Suppressors
2019-06-05
[Daily Caller] Politicians are calling for a ban on silencers after a disgruntled Virginia Beach, Virginia, city employee used one while gunning down 12 co-workers.

It was reported that the gunman, DeWayne Craddock, 40, used two .45-caliber handguns equipped with "extended" magazines and one with a suppressor.

A silencer is any device fitted to the end of a gun that lowers its sound output, according to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives (ATF).

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sent a tweet Sunday about suppressors, linking to a Washington Post op-ed that compared the sound of suppressed gunfire to a chair scraping the floor.

#6  The serpentine hiss of suppressors
As a Haifisch addresses her lessers:
"They'll silence your stressors
At hearings or pressers,
And almost as softly as Messers!"

#3  The problem is not suppressor but the guy who had the suppressed firearm. He was a nutjob.

#2  I got flamed on several shooting blogs for commenting that suppressors are a toy and everyone who got a woody about making them more widely available stole momentum from nationwide carry reciprocity legislation, which is much more necessary. Not whining, I knew it would set some peoples' hair on fire to say it.

#1  Angry, vindictive government entitlement employee not the problem. The real problem was an inanimate object.
