Surpressors are so insanely easy to construct... if the feds close off legal access to them, and push them underground, the number of suppressors (disposable and otherwise) in circulation will quadruple.

I bought a lathe...just so I can make nuts and bolts from bar stock.

Well, I guess it's good that I've got 3 waiting on the ATF.

Tell me about it. I know a guy who used to make one in the morning, shoot groundhogs all ways with it, then destroy it before the sun went down.

The fact that the Dems are now calling for confiscation of things already known is probably a good thing - no more frog in the warming water, they're going straight for the Rubicon.

BTW, this has no grandfather clause. Mandatory confiscation of the silencers, with a buyback program.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) and Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-N.J.-12) today reintroduced the Help Empower Americans to Respond (HEAR) Act, federal gun safety legislation to ban the importation, sale, manufacturing, transfer and possession of gun silencers or suppressors.

Text of the bill:

This has to be what every Democrat voter wanted, right? :thumbsup:

I'm happy for 'ya!

Once metal 3D printers drop in price to a consumer level most all of this becomes useless.

Someone introducing a bill doesn't mean it's going anywhere. I was surprised it pitched a mandatory buyback.

The last time they tried to bring this up I suggested a counter protest of removing mufflers from cars. Hey, don’t want someone getting run over by these millions of suppressed vehicles.

davsco · Apr 16, 2021

these friggin' idiots that somehow got elected just want to be seen as 'doing something.' unfortunately for us (and really everyone), their 'something' won't do much if anything to reduce crime.

no braces and folding stocks because those make rifles oh so concealable, but then they want to go after cans which ADD to firearm lengths...

I grabbed a couple of tap-and-die sets so I can put threads on stuff.

Also picked up a single-point insert tool set for the lathe so I can practice chasing threads and fussing with change-gear ratios.

Why bother? At the point of illegal, Maglights and freeze plugs are cheaper.

Those are 80% potatoes, AKA ghost potatoes. They really need to go after the people processing them into the deadlier forms like McDonalds.

MindTheGAP · Apr 16, 2021

They really are just trying everything aren't they? Ridiculous. I can think of 2 times someone used a suppressor for a 'mass shooting' in the past what...25 years? Looks like this is really gonna solve...something. Somehow. Or not.

One cannot have too much nuts in a time like this.

Throw enough $hit at a wall and something will stick.

I for one support reasonable gun legislation like in other advanced western countries in Europe... where silencers are sold over the counter.

Is this true? I'm planning a trip to Portugal in August.

You wouldn’t be allowed to import it though since they are regulated here and you would be in possession of a felony if you did t have a tax stamp for it.

Do not take those across state lines, or international borders!

Agriculture Departments will have their way with you, when the BATFE is finished!

mpollan1 · Apr 16, 2021

Thanks, should have known better.

Bountied · Apr 16, 2021

Lee Malvo didn't use a suppressor and he killed quite a few unsuspecting people.

sickpuppyz · Apr 16, 2021

you realize these 2 knckleheads have probably never heard gun with a silencer. then they would know that its't like the movies where it is perfectly quiet. unless u are using sub 22lr or sub 300aac. so their bill has a veeeery narrow scope.
