You don't need a suppressor on your hunting rifle. Citizens who are not serving on active duty in military service have no need to have military weapons. Get used to it.

Yeah actually I do need a suppressor on my rifles, pistols, and shotguns..

Citizens have the right to keep and bear arms and that right shall not be infringed. If you dont like that fact please leave America the sooner the better.

You are aware that suppressors are not "military weapons" right? they were first made around 1902 and that was for the civilian market.And even if they were you have to make the case as to why you want them banned, you have to make the case on why you and your side want you limit our rights.

Furthermore Miller v United States protects weapons of military usage and Heller v D.C protests the 2nd Amendment as a individual right.


We are on the road to restore the 2nd Amendment to its rightful place as well as other liberties, rights, and freedoms...

Get Used To It.

The anti-gun crowd loves to crow that "the public is on their side," yet if one were to look at the recent history of local, state and even some federal gun laws in this country that were enacted by those the public elected to represent them, they'd find that those laws are actually becoming less and less restrictive. For instance:



Add to that the recent decisions in Illinois and California, and it's pretty clear that gun laws are changing for the better.

So anti-gun folks, "Get used to it."

Well said, except for one thing (IMO). The 2nd Amendment is not just "our" right. It is the right of ALL people. It's a shame that some people willingly fight to limit their own rights.


Wendell, suppressors in the hand of shooters would actually be a very good thing. With the amount of sprawl in suburban areas, neighborhoods are being built almost next to long-existing firing ranges, hunt clubs, and other facilities where the shooting sports are enjoyed. Allowing for the use of suppresors would actually be a great middle ground. Shooters would have their rights restored and neighbors would hve one less thing to complain about. Don't get me wrong, the hysteria will continue, but the noise argument will be considered moot at that point.

Yep, guns more than ever have become socially acceptable. It is even seen in non action tv shows, where scenes are based at the gun range, this was never seen in non action shows in the 90's. It is acceptable to get a ccw permit and carry a gun to protect yourself. Women are also a very quickly growing segment of gun owners, though they are still dwarfed by men.

If you go to local NRA events in my area you see people of every race, sexuality and gender participate in the shooting sport. Another thing I have noticed is the large quantity of non citizen green card holders that enjoy shooting. They often tell stories of living in oppressive countries and appreciate the freedoms we have here

...and the war on drugs enters stage left, insanity on display. NDAA and Patriot Act anyone? Homeland Security!!! IRS targeting and NSA spying (on Congress no less!)

The bad actors never seem to go away and die.

I had never heard of a city (Grove IL) requiring residents to own a gun. And what happened after...

Crime rate plummeted after law
required firearms for residents

Amen to the facts proving the theory
