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
I know a few White South Africans that left either the day Mandela took office or in the years afterwards..They know the horror of racism, marxism, open borders and being disarmed in the midst of their nation being destroyed from with by enemies and traitors.

They are all doing very well...They cant get enough of how wonderful this nation is, and how glad their kids will have such a bright future, and actively stranded against the same acts of treason that destroyed their home nation.

So, a suppressor is a military weapon?
............... .............. ...... ..

You're obviously not a hunter, yet you know what is and isn't needed. I know, it's a gun, you just point and fire... what's so hard about that?

No it was not.Hathcock’s 1967 record-setting 2500-yard single-shot kill with his Browning M2 machine gun and 10X Unertl scope which created a new class of rifle.

I call gun hunting, going to the grocery store.
PFfft. Bow hunting isn't sporting.

Knife hunting, on the other hand.

So should we try and get a bill to remove them or try and use the courts?

That's some logic. So would you say that you don't need a muffler on your SUV? Unless you're serving in the military, driving a Hummer or other military-issue vehicle, you have no need?

Anti-gun people seem to have adopted this bizarre notion that it should be illegal to make guns quiet. What about bows? Do we need a law requiring bow owners to tape some firecrackers to their bow and light one off whenever they shoot an arrow?

Have you seen the arrowhead, that you insert a .38/.357 cartridge into?
When it hits, it fires the round.

LOL. Out of uniform, in a theater of war.

EDIT: Deleted your post? Why?
Leading your men to sure death by firing squad? No way to defend yourself... Nut job on a death wish.
The Gung-ho idiot, was the name we had for those passive fools.
