National Trump on Gun ‘Silencers’ Like One Used in Virginia Beach Shooting: ‘I Don’t Like Them at All’

[pnw1994]

The one photo I've seen showed a Hi Point with a home job maglite and washer suppressor..... not exactly "operator" level stuff.

Macgyvering your own silencer is operator AF

 

[DuneHopper]

Whats a silencer? Never knew anyone that made one.
A surpressor sure, silencer, never heard of it.

 

[Steel Head]

The amount of crimes committed with NFA items is shockingly low.

If this was an illegally made suppressor and then action is taken against those who lawfully own them because of this crime that is an absolute travesty against society but knee jerk reactions are politicians specialty.

Trump is our savior. He's the second coming. There's no way he would use executive powers to ban something.

Anybody know where I can pick up a bump stock?

 

[Caveman Jim]

What has happened to America? Now every time a gun is used in a crime "IT" is immediately called for to be banned or restricted further???
Gun hate is rampant by the left and gun owners still vote em back in each election.

Yea - explain the 'liberal' gun owners please.....

At best he was the lesser of two evils.

I actually had hope for him but as of late it's mostly disappointment.

Wrong side of the country, POTD: Suppressed Hi-Point Seized By LA Sheriff Deputies -

I could be wrong, but the suppressor on that AR looked legit.

If you're worried about executive overreach, a principled Democrat (who believes there are limits to executive authority) is better than a Republican who thinks himself a monarch.

I'm not overly worried about that.

I'm more worried about a big business focus and an attack on our constitutional rights and liberties.

Maybe but it sure looks like one of those 'solvent traps' that are all over the web.
And this is one of the most sophisticated of them all....
I am surprised You tube hasn't banned these videos yet.

Maybe its a sales tactic it worked for other presidents!

I really hope this doesn't set off panic buying. I'm about to put a Form 1 in the pipeline. And I remember the wait the last time a change in regs (41F) happened.

You'll be fine with a Form 1.... I'm 7.5 months into my Form 4 wait on an individual trust. Just contacted my dealer yesterday, he said based on the returns he's getting now I've probably got 3 to 5 months left....

I think it's gonna be much more of an uphill battle for them to ban suppressors than it was for bump-stocks. It's an NFA regulated and taxed item. They'd also experience a lot of backlash from the pro 2A community. Bump-stocks were the low hanging fruit and a lot of gun owners (fudds in my opinion) just said yes please take them.

I wonder how the He11 Fire trigger system 'dodged the bullet' so to speak?

It's all precipitated from occurrence in crime. Now we know it only takes one crime committed with said accessory to gain national attention from anti gunners. One at a time until they're all gone is their plan.

I wasn't unhappy to see them go.

"The Man" is entitled to his own opinion. When you take a moment to consider his position and all those gunning for him, I'd be voicing the same opinion. Now, I'm not the President but I've never had a desire for one nor would I want it more difficult for my friends to obtain one if they wanted one or more.

That is the name the inventor put on his "Maxim Silencer" patent around 1910.

^ Indeed. And under US law, the device is defined as a "silencer" or "muffler". Since the inventor called it that and that is how it is defined legally, I tend to use that word. To each their own though.
