NRA and Suppressors
They mention the Kansas suppressor victory on their facebook page. NRA fans chime in in comments with suppressors aren’t necessary and are for cop killing. Our own worst enemy, some times.

Sometimes I think the anti gunners are right when they say the NRA works through ignorance…

I bet if I were to push for Open Carry AND Suppressors, I’d have no more friends left in the gun community.
We can be our own worst, way more often than I’m happy with.

It’d be nice if the NRA would start actually supporting NFA weapons owners.
They could start by trying to educate their membership.
Hell, I might even join.

Take the noise suppressor off your car and put it on your gun and you can get a federal prison sentence and a traffic citation!

Still looks like for every fudd using the Brady tactic of “need” (while ignoring of course that I bought some ground beef at the supermarkets, and never needed to load up my gun or climb in a treestand) there are 10 people who get it.
Not as grim as you paint it IMHO.

Mufflers on Harleys-Good for Old Ladies, Bad For Bikers.
Mufflers on Cars-Good for Old Ladies, Bad for Hot Rodders.
Mufflers on Weapons- Good for Hunters, Bad for the NRA Old Ladies?
I’m Confused. I thought we all wanted to reduce Noise Pollution and Hearing Loss in our Society.

These people seriously piss me off… In NJ, we’re lucky to have any decent gun rights, but in Kansas? God forbid these spoiled brats get more.
I’d love to be able to mount a suppressor on my AR-15… just like I’d love to have a flash hider… or a collapsible stock… or a bayonet lug.

Um, I detect several anti-gun trolls in their comments.
There are plenty of pro-gunners who pretend to be antis at DU and Brady sites, it’s not inconceivable that there would be anti-gunners pretending to be fans of the NRA.
March 29th, 2011 at 12:12 pm
That may be. Every smart anti who blog comments always claims to be some kind of gun owner before he begins his “But, …” spew, or does some kind of concern-trolling.

NRA works politics. Thats what they are. And many of the supporters are only supporters of your right to hunt and shoot clays, and see no reason for you to need X firearm, y accessory, or z ammunition.
They (those types of gunowners, or Fudds) arent supporters of rights, they are supporters of official oppression.

Trolling: Any statement you disagree with…. Captain Holly you are the only one trolling… Everybody who posted before you posts rather often in support of pro gun..

Nothing wrong with sensible gun control.

Problem is, it doesn’t work–and that is by design. Freedom has never worked best when constrained by those who wish to control it for impure reasons.
AOA

John Smith, you do realize Cap’n Holly was referring to the NRA Facebook comments and not the ones in here, yes?
March 29th, 2011 at 1:34 pm
Robb,
I’d be right there with you. I OC regularly, and I’d love a supressor, but they cost too damn much. Besides, I don’t own anything with a threaded barrel anyway.

“For cop killing”, they say?
I wonder, actually, has a suppressor ever been used in the murder of a police officer in the US?
If so, when, and how often does it happen?
I suspect the answer might well be never, and if not, it must be staggeringly uncommon, since I’ve never heard of it – and it’s exactly the sort of thing that would be trumpeted.

One doesn’t know very well if a suppressor was used in the killing of a cop, as it leaves no forensic marker. It is one of those things that can’t be determined except by the witnesses, who, if they did notice the cop was being shot, wouldnt have noticed the sound suppression, or if they didn’t notice the cop was being shot, wouldn’t have noticed the sound suppression.

Finland law permits suppressors, and even requires it in some circumstances, as simple good manners. Finland is not known for high police mortality.
March 29th, 2011 at 2:18 pm
The Fudds need suppressors even more than the rest of us. If they lived anywhere near the areas in which they hunt they’d realize the people living in the backcountry would absolutely LOVE for them to show up with suppressed firearms.
Or maybe I’m just bitter because the shotguns came out on my part of the lake at dawn on the first day of waterfowl season. Nothing like the sound of shotguns a 1/4 mile away at 6am to make you love the concept of suppression.

Sigivald, I see silencers used to kill cops all the time in movies. It must be true.
Most gun control is inspired to combat some shit that a soccer-mom saw in a movie.
March 29th, 2011 at 3:25 pm
There’s certainly data that silencers have no relationship to violent crime (or, really, crime at all other than simple possession): http://wcr.sonoma.edu/v08n2/44.clark/clark.pdf
But then this isn’t about facts and never has been.
March 29th, 2011 at 6:42 pm
I’ve heard it said that the inclusion of silencers as an NFA item was primarily an anti-poaching measure (in response to poaching on Federal lands in the Depression).
March 29th, 2011 at 8:47 pm
I have a silencer. It throws off my aim and kicks like a bear, but I’ll take out any tyrant who tries to violate my God-given right to keep and bear it!

There doesn’t seem to be any organized opposition to the bill to permit use of NFA legal suppressors in Washington State. House bill 1016 has all ready passed the House and is out of committee in the Senate.

Dear John:
Didn’t read the linked Facebook thread, I see. Which contains the comments to which I was referring, not the ones here.
Reading, how does it work?
