Suppressors make guns quieter, have less recoil, and can improve accuracy. How does that not make a shooter deadlier? Regardless, yes, my answer is that it should be difficult or impossible to buy a gun or gun accessory. And I don’t care if you and the rest of Lenny thinks it’s impossible, I still think it’s the right thing.
Don’t start the “bigger fish to fry” argument, we’re not here trying to rank order all the bad things in the world.
You call me a zealot because you are a cultist. You are not willing to listen to reasonable arguments, and I am. You know nothing about me, my reason for hating gun owners, and you don’t care to ask or make any distinction between me and a clueless freshman.
I’m happy throwing baseless characterizations of each other all day. If you really want a discussion, you are going about it the wrong way.
I hear what you’re saying, but don’t feel that participating in proliferating guns will make any meaningful progress towards my desire of a gun-free country.
Australia did a pretty good job with gun buybacks, although that wasn’t a total ban. I won’t pretend to have a comprehensive plan for how to go about it, but I don’t think that’s reason not to push for it. I don’t think it will be easy in the US, but I also have run out of patience and compassion for gun owners. I stopped caring about the 2nd amendment a long time ago.
I don’t really believe in the concept of a considerate shooter that wants to protect my ears by using a suppressor. Maybe at a gun range, but not elsewhere.
You call me a zealot, I call you a cultist. I see no reason why all guns and gun accessories shouldn’t be regulated. Fewer guns really does translate to fewer gun deaths, and making it a pain in the ass to shop for your murder stick accessories would further discourage people from participating in the “hobby”.
No frankly I think outright banning firearms, firearm accessories, and disarming police is a better use of our time. The US clearly won’t use guns to stop a fascist regime, so there’s no reason to allow people to own them.
Yeah, you’re not going to convince me that something that helps police and militaries shoot innocent people in poorly lit buildings is a good thing. Ban em.
I understand they don’t make a gun silent, I’m not falling for any Hollywood myths here. But I also know that hearing protection isn’t the reason why militaries and gun nuts are buying them. I know a gun with a suppressor is still loud as shit, but from where I’m sitting, anything that prolongs catching/stopping a shooter is something that makes the shooter more deadly. And for that reason, it absolutely should be regulated.
