They’re actually suppressors, but whatever.
The left has decided to use the tragedy in Vegas to push against completely unrelated legislation they don’t like. They’re currently pushing back against a proposal, which would treat suppressors “like firearms — requiring only a federal background check.”
“This legislation will ensure access and opportunity for hunting, fishing, and recreational shooting now and for future generations,” the NRA stated. “It will also reform existing provisions of federal law in support of law-abiding gun owners. It will remove antiquated and unnecessary restrictions on acquiring firearm sound suppressors. It will protect those who travel with secured, unloaded firearms. It will reign-in the abusive practices of anti-gun bureaucrats. And it will open up millions of more acres of federal land to the carrying of firearms for self-defense. ”
Libs are freaking, even though bill isn’t even scheduled.
“That bill is not scheduled now; I don’t know when it’s going to be scheduled,” Speaker Ryan said. “Right now we’re focused on passing our budget.”
Liberals are screaming about this, because of what happened in Vegas. But here’s the thing: The gunman didn’t use a suppressor. That had absolutely NOTHING to do with what happened. Does Chuck realize that?
.@SenSchumer says he’s calling on Trump to “come out against the absurd law about silencers.” Seems to b where Dem energy focused post-Vegas

Um… he didn’t use a silencer. And even if he did, it wouldn’t be silent.

Exactly. It’s not like the movies, kids.
Dingbat @HillaryClinton tries to start ignorant. “silencer” controversy as @SenSchumer et.al. takes the idiotic baton, politicizing tragedy.

Even though he didn’t use a silencer. Illegal automatic gun would burn a silencer if he tried. More #DogWhistles from DEMS.🤦♀️

Someone should use a silencer on Chuck the Schmuck.
Every time he opens his piehole he embarrasses himself.

Democrats: In the wake of the LV shooting we need to enact our entire agenda asap. Anyone who opposes is an accomplice to the shooter.

Almost like Dems are exploiting mass casualties to push opposition to a bill that had nothing to do with it.
— Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) October 3, 2017
Yeah. Almost.
