Looks like dems want silencers to be illegal now



quote:

The 2021 Help Empower Americans to Respond (HEAR) Act, which Menendez first introduced in 2019 after the Virginia Beach mass shooting that killed 12 people, bans the sale, manufacturing, importation, transfer and possession of gun silencers.

"Gun silencers are dangerous devices with one purpose and one purpose only – to muffle the sound of gunfire from unsuspecting victims," Menendez said in a Thursday statement. "The sound of gunshots is what signals you to run, hide, take cover, call the police and help others save themselves; however, this is nearly impossible when a gun silencer is used."

He described the bill as "commonsense legislation that will prevent armed assailants from using these deadly devices to make it easier to shoot and kill another person."

Do they think "silencers" are like the James Bond movies and it sounds like an airy fart or something?

typical uninformed masses, that couldn't bait a hook, living in giant cities trying to mandate what people thousands of miles away in a totally different environment should be doing. sickening.

I blame Hollywood. what are the odds that someone going to commit an atrocious shooting with a suppressor is gonna do it with a legal one? They're ether gonna make one or steal one. We're not even half a year into the Biden era, I can't fathom what is gonna be the outrage of the week by year 4.

Might as well ban movies with violence, songs with violent lyrics, and games with violence in them.

These people have clearly never even been within 1,000 miles of a silencer in their lives.

Also, how many crimes are being committed with silencers?

Criminals aren’t waiting a whole year and paying an extra $200 and submitting their damn finger prints to buy a $1000 can to commit crime with.

From the pic used in the article, the Dem. politicians, and the media think so.

Fox News is the only outlet fearmongering The Right with this news. All of the other media outlets have articles about Sen. Bob Menendez criticizing Biden for some immigration stuff.

NJ.com has an article on him son's imminent naming to high-profile NY/NJ Port Authority board.

quote:

The son of Democratic U.S. Senator Robert Menendez will be nominated to the board of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, one of the region’s most powerful agencies, a source close to the appointment confirmed Wednesday.

Robert Menendez Jr. of Jersey City is one of three new appointees to be announced soon, and was the product of negotiations that have been ongoing since Gov. Phil Murphy took office in 2018.

The bi-state agency operates the airports, seaports and the tunnels and bridges connecting New Jersey and New York. Each state is represented by six commissioners on a 12-member board overseeing a $7.3 billion budget. The post doesn’t pay a salary, but it’s a high-profile spot.


Such an important young man. I'm sure there's no favoritism being shown here. If they are as corrupt as I imagine, that boy is on his way to becoming a millionaire with that no salary post.

Obviously, you don't watch much tv or see very many movies. If you did, you'd know that LOTS of crimes are committed using "silencers." In fact, just last night I saw Reddington use a silencer to kill a bunch of people. I bet he does it again on tonights' episode, as well.
