For those of you that believe movies where "silencers" only make a whisper there are tons of videos to show what a suppressor truly does.

People that get their info on how guns work from movies shouldn't write bills concerning gun laws. Some basic understanding of one goes a long way.

ETA: Meant for Poliboard

We should probably ban cars from going over 60mph since criminals could use them to escape from police too right?

BTW-poli board

Dana Loesch keeps trying to make this argument, and I think it's a stretch.

I also think Gillibrand's reasoning for opposing suppressors is a stretch, but I'm not sure she said anything laughably false. Could a suppressor make witnesses less likely? Of course. I still think it's a dumb rationale, and she's playing on people's ignorance, but I don't think she's created some newsworthy error here.

People are dumb. It'd be awesome to shoot indoors without hearing protection.

If politicians only wrote laws about what they knew we would only have laws about corruption, hookers and blow.

Liberals don't have any common or rational sense.

To be fair, most people probably believe this because of movies.

Your thread title is quite a leap from the statements she made.

Why the hell would a criminal be allowed to purchase a silencer for their gun?

Isn't that the point? To make sure criminals can't buy/own guns?

For what it's worth the current legal definition is a silencer. We all know they don't silence a firearm completely but when you fill out your ATF form they use silencer.

Well to be totally silent you need to put the gun inside a paper bag with the silencer. Everyone knows that.

Is she suggesting in the last tweet that people that own suppressors are criminals?
