I'd say that anyone who opposes closing the private sale background check
loophole, who opposes putting people on the no-fly list on the list of
blocked sales, and anyone who thinks we should make silencers less
expensive and more available meets the definition.

How many people have EVER been killed by a suppressor? The bullets
still come out the same way, suppressed or not. This is knee jerk
opposition to a non issue.

I agree, those gun nuts are having a knee jerk reaction. They think
we need to make it easier and cheaper to get silencers. I guess they
figure they need to hide it by calling it a hearing protection act.
Funny, for 250 years people were able to engage in sport shooting,
hunting, but now suddenly people need easier access to silencers.

Point of order. Silencers are NOT cheap and they likely won't be
cheaper if legalized, but that's another issue.

Okay, for 250 years folks have enjoyed hunting and shooting sports
without access to silencers.

For a lot longer than that we have had laws on the books in every state
of the union making it a crime (in many instances, a capital offense) to
murder someone. How's that working out and why do we also have laws
that "enhance" the penalties for certain classes of victims. Murder
child, a senior citizen, a police officer, a fire fighter, a politician.
All enhanced penalties which are wholly unnecessary if we merely
enforced the law on the books and handed down by God whether you believe
it him/her or not.

It's all freakin' window dressing and doesn't mean a damn thing. Only
the honest man will follow the law and the only one we clamp down on are
those same individuals.
