Yellowhouse Sam # 25171 Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Prayers for the families affected. Evidently the shooter used something besides an AR or the politicians would really be howling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Bob #35998 Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Just wait. One of his pistols had a suppressor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Ferrill had also told a co-worker that he believed brewery employees were coming into his home and bugging his computer. As for the "Silencer" we'll need to see some actual pics to confirm. Lots of faux-suppressors out there. Libs will want to ban anything that even looks like a suppressor. Especially if it's evil Black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixgun Sheridan Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 I just find it strange that every time the gun banners have a particular gun or accessory in their sights it's conveniently used in the next mass shooting. Okay, off with the tinfoil hat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 One interesting thing about suppressors is that in Sweden they are practically required on rifles. It is considered extremely discourteous to hunt with an unsuppressed rifle, so as to subject non-hunting neighbors to excessive noise. Now, this actually makes sense; particularly as it shows that there is nothing sinister about a suppressor-- quite the opposite. A seldom-remarked fact is that the Scandinavian countries have very high per capita rates of gun ownership. One's liberal friends are often nonplussed to hear this.

Sixgun Sheridan Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Unfortunately the general public believes that suppressors/silencers cause a firearm to make a quiet "pew!" noise that can't be heard in the next room, like they see in the movies. The gun control groups are well-known for capitalizing on the ignorance of the average person. Same goes for .50 caliber rifles, which we are supposed to believe can shoot down aircraft since that's what they were used for during WW2. Forget the fact that the WW2 ones were machine guns and civilian ones are usually bolt-action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G W Wade Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 One of my friends suggested instead of silencers or suppressors, call them mufflers. GW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
