Democrat Tim Kaine, who -- and people forget this -- is a member of the United States Senate who ran on Hillary Clinton's ticket last in fall's election (look it up!), weighed in on the gun control debate that is raging the aftermath of Sunday night's horrific mass shooting in Las Vegas. In a very special attempt to link his opposition to a Republican proposal to ease federal restrictions on gun suppressors to the massacre, Kaine explained how he believes local authorities were able to put an end to the shooter's reign of terror. Just so we're clear, this person is a sitting Senator who wields one of just 100 upper chamber votes on gun policy legislation:
He was only stopped finally because he did not have a silencer on his weapon. And the sound drew people to the place where he was ultimately stopped. Can you imagine what this would have been if he had silencers on these weapons?”
Hillary, who rushed to debase herself by immediately politicizing the Vegas attack, got fact-checked by the Washington Post for spouting similarly ignorant nonsense about "silencers:"
The crowd fled at the sound of gunshots.
Imagine the deaths if the shooter had a silencer, which the NRA wants to make easier to get.— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) October 2, 2017
Actually, even with "a silencer," it's pretty loud. An AR-15 rifle would have a noise equivalent to a jack hammer. https://t.co/rL1YFuAB5b https://t.co/YE9smBZqGG— Glenn Kessler (@GlennKesslerWP) October 2, 2017
That correction stems from an analysis in which WaPo awarded another Senate Democrat 'Three Pinocchios' for garbage assertions about "silencers." Now seems like the perfect opportunity to highlight one small but insightful snippet from a data journalist's much-discussed column explaining how her arguments for gun control "crumbled" as she examined the facts: "I can’t endorse policies whose only selling point is that gun owners hate them. Policies that often seem as if they were drafted by people who have encountered guns only as a figure in a briefing book or an image on the news," she wrote. Those people apparently include multiple US Senators and a failed presidential candidate.
Kaine and Hillary prove the old adage that there is “no limit to stupidity on the Left”.
And, again, I note his resemblance to the alien in “Galaxy Quest”, the one who looks like he has a cucumber up his butt. Played by a British actor named Jed or something like that.
PICTURES,AGAIN, PlEASE.
Kaine is the “stupidity that keeps on asking to be kicked in the ass with an iron boot”.
Lol. That was a great post. I also don’t understand why these people keep using the word silencer. I thought there was no such thing.
“He was only stopped finally because he did not have a silencer on his weapon. And the sound drew people to the place where he was ultimately stopped. Can you imagine what this would have been if he had silencers on these weapons?””
Ever seen a suppressor under unchecked full auto rates of fire? It’ll glow cherry red, melt, and blow up. With a silencer (Hiram Maxim’s trademarked term for the device he invented) the carnage would have been over faster when the rifle blew up with a baffle strike.

I thought Hillary’s running mate was Daffy Duck.
Kaine really is as stupid as he looks.
Then why didn't the Vegas police report that instead of saying that he was located because a smoke alarm in his room went off? Were the people on the scene just not as smart as you, Timmy?
I suppose two large windows missing from the hotel's facade weren't a clue either.
I swear to god...this Kaine doofus has to be the stupidest Fother Mucker to ever run for VP......but then again, a close second to the stupid idiot that chose him to run for VP.

I got tired of copy&pasting. Suffice it to say that nearly every publication on the planet reported this.
Gotta give kaine demRATs standard test for competency. Spell potato.
Now go stick your head back up your a$$ until your handlers pull your chain and want you to make another appearance.
uhhhhh, only after about a couple thousand rounds
Funny how Dems’ comments always pander to people of the lowest intelligence.
He is trying to give Antifa/ISIS hints.... Use a silencer! Use a silencer! Imagine the death if you use a silencer!
That was the talking point...to stop the silencer legislation from passing. It seems to have worked as Ryan has tabled it for now.
LOL. Isn’t his son a loon as well? I think I remember him being some Antifa idiot
Lie often enough and loud enough....
Not to mention that it only reduces the sound to about 135 dB, about the sound a jackhammer makes.
ROTFL! Little Timmy is a complete loon.
The same day it happened Hitlery was shreiking about silencers. Shows how much she gives a damn about other people. Her #1 priority was scoring political points. She is eternally campaigning for POTUS as she feels it is her destiny and anyone who gets in the way of that must be destroyed even if it harms the country.
