That's because HIl-Liar thinks a silencer removes all sound of a gunshot just like they portray in movies. Nothing could be further from the truth. You can still plainly hear the weapon, it's just "slightly" quieter than normal. This is not to mention a silencer cannot perform the same way under repetitive fire. It only works for several shots and that's it.
Ok, I get it. A suppressor serves no function whatever. The NRA just wants it legalized because.....well, just because. Anyway, the bill is dead, and hunters are just going to have to wear ear plugs when they shoot their 100 round drum with bump stocks at Bambi's mother.
So where did I say it serves no function? Did you ever go to a gun range? It only dulls the sound a bit, not make it sound like a BB gun.
But a silencer (in this Vegas situation) wouldn't have done any good for the shooter. Maybe that's why he didn't use one?????
It's yet another bogus phony argument by the left.
Ray, you need to get your story together. I own a high powered rifle, and also a BB gun. The difference in the sound that they make is not "minor". You can not hear a BB gun for than 25 feet away. You can hear my rifle about half a mile away. As for how a suppressor applies to the Vegas shooting, who gives a shit?
Suppressors make it possible to shoot to kill silently. Just one more nail in the coffin of people who are sick and tired of random, shootings, all the way from drug gangs, through domestic disputes, to mass killings. America does not need suppressors, and even the republicans agree, having shelved the bill. It is dead.
