Silencers could give the next Adam Lanza even more time to kill -- but to the NRA, it's got to be protected.
A gruesome holiday season exercise: Think of some firearms and accessories that might have added to the body counts of Aurora and Newtown. More starkly, imagine the means by which coming Auroras and Newtowns will be made more deadly.
The exercise starts with a militarized baseline, as both shooters unloaded designed-for-damage rounds from high-capacity magazines loaded into assault rifles. Improving their killing efficiency would require one of two things: the ability to shoot more bullets faster, or more time. A fully automatic machine gun would provide the first. More minutes to hunt, meanwhile, might be gained by employing a noise suppressor, those metallic tubes better known as silencers. By muffling the noise generated with every shot by sonic booms and gas release, a silencer would provide a new degree of intimacy for public mass murder, delaying by crucial seconds or minutes the moment when someone calls the police after overhearing strange bangs coming from Theater 4 or Classroom D. The same qualities that make silencers the accessory of choice for targeted assassination offer advantages to the armed psychopath set on indiscriminate mass murder.
It should surprise no one that the NRA has recently thrown its weight behind an industry campaign to deregulate and promote the use of silencers. Under the trade banner of the American Silencer Association, manufacturers have come together with the support of the NRA to rebrand the silencer as a safety device belonging in every all-American gun closet. To nurture this potentially large and untapped market, the ASA last April sponsored the first annual all-silencer gun shoot and trade show in Dallas. Americas silencer makers are each doing their part. SWR Suppressors is asking survivalists to send a picture of their bugout bag for a chance to win an assault rifle silencer. The firm Silencero We Dig Suppressors and What They Do has put together a helpful Silencers Are Legal website and produced a series of would-be viral videos featuring this asshole.
New outrageous lie from insane fucking liberals. Silencers kill people!
Film @ never!
Dude, have you ever had an ORIGINAL THOUGHT?
New outrageous lie from insane fucking liberals. Silencers kill people!
Film @ never!
Silencers generally allow stealth killing of more people than without. Even worse than high-capacity magazines.

Why is the NRA pushing silencers?
Why is the NRA pushing silencers?
Because they really DO protect your hearing. Or is that too complex for you?
