Psst, suppressors are already restricted. You may want to go look at who was responsible for that...
You’re glad he’s president instead of hillary!!!!????
Do you really ####ing mean it!!!!!!!!!??????
Cause, ya know, I couldn’t sleep if I thought you didn’t like him.
GTF out of here with your 2 cent complaint.
2) His comment reflects gross, inexcusable ignorance (at best). Such ignorance is unworthy of a President.
Seriously, Mr. President: Either get yourself some education on firearms and related topics, or shut your damn mouth about them.
George HW Bush stabbed gun owners in the back. His second term was remarkably productive ...
What’s the purpose of suppressors? I thought those were only used by hit men on TV. I’m pro 2A and noise control isn’t part of it.
To be fair, I’m doubtful the founding fathers necessarily envisioned silencers when they created the second amendment.
And I don’t think Trump ever indicated he WANTED to ban silencers or for that matter firearms. He said he didn’t like silencers, yes, but that’s not the same thing as voicing a desire to ban them. My mom’s wary around guns, for example, yet she has enough respect for the second amendment to allow their existence in spite of said wariness. Until Trump explicitly voices a desire to ban guns outright, he’s as pro-second amendment as one can get.
And besides, why would civilians even need a silencer for guns, anyways? Last I checked, silencers would be needed in order to avoid detection if you shoot a gun, such as during black ops or assassinations, and I really don’t see the need for a silencer when, say, trying to ward off burglars inside your house (if anything, keeping it unsilenced would ward the burglars off just from shooting.). Now, if they’re trying to ward off someone actively trying to kill you, that might be a good reason to have a silencer.
In politics, it’s best to avoid unforced errors.
Suppressors are highly regulated.
No one in that conversation was trying to broker any sort of deal for future legislation. It was a casual off-the-cuff talk.
If Trump says suppressors are great and everyone should have one, then the media calls him a Nut. Who needs more of that?
Q: Supressors?
A: Don’t like ‘em.
Does no damage. Gives them nothing. Makes the conversation boring and pointless.
Well done, Mr. President.
I guess the potus has not spent hours on end shooting high caliber weapons with ear plugs or muffs on.
The Second Amendment has nothing to do with whether you like it or not, Mr. President.
When I start shooting I want people from far and wide to ride to the sound.
Was the shooter wearing some form of footwear?
Ban shoes!
Did the shooter eat anything earlier in the day?
Ban food.
No, he isn’t instinctively pro-2A. He’s from Noo Yawk, after all. But I’m praying we can get through his two administrations unscathed, because other than on the 2A, he’s the best President in my lifetime. Better than Reagan, who also was instinctively anti-2A, and who signed the ‘86 machine gun ban.
Trollin, trollin, keep those lefties trollin...
I believe he is more ignorant about suppressors than he is against them. I think if folks “educated” him on this it would be good. Most people, especially urban dwellers, think of “hit men” when they think of them.
I would give the guy a break on this one. But his 2nd amendment stance is about as good as you will get from a Northeastern guy.
He really didn’t answer the question. seems like he gave a personal response.
Sorry, but Cruz lost and pretty much everyone here agrees that he would have also lost to HRC.
So who’s your great Second Amendment savior? Bill Weld?
In other words, we take what you get and leave the bitching to the leftists.
You are a subversive loony.
Wow, that’s your evidence that he’s anti 2nd amendment?
Let me see:
A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
But somehow, “I don’t like them.” when asked about silencers, is anti the above sentence?
You know the problem with zealots? They are unable to recognize who their friends are.
Trump’s judicial picks have been predominantly pro 2nd amendment.
My problem with suppressors is that i cant find a suitable CCW holster for a firearm so equipped.
Go away, troll....we believe President Trump is pro-2A way more than we believe FReeloading leeches are useful assets to the Conservative agenda...how about hitting the donate button 3-5 times as penance and then you can go away...
