Things that made you frown today (Political Version)

[Gelston]

Give it a few years, let them get out there en masse and we'll see what happens.

A few years? I mean, they've been legally obtainable since they were invented.

Legally obtainable and easy to make one yourself. They aren't the boogey man you think they are.

You sound like a child. "Mommy, why should I share my toys, kevin doesn't"

You also assume too much. You've called me a communist and a socialist and a fascist and keep spouting this theory that socialism is a 1 way street to the gulag. WTF dude. Get a grip. What's this sudden concern bullshit also? I've let that go, but you need to address this. Am I anti-cop? Am I out here pasting "fuck the police" or something? Here's a hint. I'm not. Not anti-police, not anti-government. I'm glad to pay my taxes and glad that those taxes go to provide a safe community for me and my family thanks to the police.

You have repeatedly supported socialist positions and systems so if the shoe fits, wear it. Socialism always leads to totalitarian oppressive government. Always. The so called "successful socialist" countries are not socialist they are capitalist welfare states on the verge of collapse and they know it as evidenced by the cutting of services, more oppressive laws, restrictions on firearms, self defense and free speech. I seem to remember you were against the police in dealing with the riots after the election and supported BLM. So, sorry your memory is so short in your support of the position de jour of the Leftist, your idiocy is your burden to bear.

I think the biggest thing keeping suppressor crime down is the mandatory 30 year prison sentence.

Is that for using one without a proper stamp?

If you know what they actually do, you wouldn't be saying that. A handful of decibel reduction isn't effective.

In February 2013, Americans watched in horror as a disgruntled former Los Angeles police officer, Christopher Dorner, terrorized Southern California. Over nine days, Dorner killed four people and wounded three others during a mass manhunt.
As police investigated, they wondered why nearby residents weren't reporting the shots. It turned out that, in an effort to conceal his murders, Dorner was using a silencer, which distorts the sound of gunfire and masks the muzzle flash of a gun. (Silencers do not completely silence gunfire, as some Hollywood movies would have you believe.) In expert hands, say SEAL Team Six, silencers have been used to help covertly take down the likes of Osama bin Laden. But in the hands of criminals, like Christopher Dorner, they pose a serious threat to law enforcement and the communities they serve.

You got that from one data point?

What data points? Zero data. This is me talking. My opinion.

Is it your opinion that silencers will not have any positive value for criminals?

A few years? I mean, they've been legally obtainable since they were invented.

Don't be like this Gelston. Just don't. Be better. You surely know that they've been heavily regulated since 1934 much like machine guns.

And those regulations haven't changed, yet you are freaking out about an NRA post.

Ya, I support BLM. I'm anti police brutality and abuse of power. I support Law Enforcement. Those things aren't separate.

Socialism's working well in much of the world no matter how many times you say it's one the verge of collapse. It's simply a system and not inherently evil. That's a biased point of view you're expressing and far too simplistic to be taken seriously.

Laughing at it. Not freaking out. Making fun of their stupid Valentine's day style BFF handgun silencer video.

Yes, I read that breathless opinion piece too. The fact that they compared him to Seal Team Six is what makes it clear neither you nor the author understand what it takes to make a gun actually quiet.

What data points? Zero data. This is me talking. My opinion.

You keep referring to Dorner in your arguments. You clearly seem to think it supports your position.

Is it your opinion that silencers will not have any positive value for criminals?

I don't believe suppressors by themselves are effective at making gunfire undetectable, nor are they or will they become widely used.
