I've always observed that Dems are more likely to pass a pro gun bill than Republicans, because they trade votes back and forth. Considern you're the first thing that Obama signed more pro gun bills/regs than Trump or Bush II , in exchange for votes for the ACA.

The major issue is that one side submits a new gun ban every year and the other does not. Republicans are not pro-gun, but not a single political party has been ever 'pro-gun" IMO. Republicans are "more pro-gun" than the left though.

Aside from the $200 stamp I am not uber pissed about this (and wait times are low). If suppressors were legalized tomorrow and the next mass shooter used one, the left would be trying to completely ban them as they have already done in some states.

I think you are missing the point. It seems like you’re trying to claim that there is no way that democrats would support gun rights. So I point out that they pander to whatever they believe will get them reelected (implying that if leftists start taking pro gun stances, that democrats will likely follow suit to ensure reelection). I used Bernie sanders being quiet on guns in 2016 because he had a pro gun voting base in Vermont, and then changing tune when Hillary used that as ammo against him, as a real world example of this very thing happening. So what exactly is difficult for you?

David Hogg is the vice chair of the party! Bernie Sanders does not represent the majority of the Democratic party. Just because some Democrats are pro gun rights does not mean the majority of the party ever will be. Look at California, Illinois, Massachusetts, New York. Are you fucking kidding me right now? You're delusional.
View on Reddit #55858286

Friendly_Deathknight@reddit

Bruh, are you fucking slow? The only reason Bernie wasn’t anti gun, is because he represented a population where being anti gun would have lost him elections. The point is that if leftists start rallying around gun rights, democrats will follow suit so they can stay in office. Politicians aren’t actually principled, that’s why you see Trump and MTG prattling about guns, despite the fact that neither of them actually fucking knows anything about them.

I'm a gun-newb...actually don't own a gun yet - working towards it though. I'm ready for the dogpile. Legit question. Under what non-active duty or law enforcement-related circumstances, as a civilian, would I need a suppressor? I genuinely know nothing about them other than they suppress the noise. Why is this a big deal? I'm bracing...
View on Reddit #55647331

Kinet1ca@reddit

You won't truly understand until you go shooting with a suppressor. I like shooting but my ears do not, even with earpro I tend to get bad migraines from the noise, but the money and process have always been blockers but thankfully things are improving. Went shooting the other week out in BLM with some friends we all had cans on, being able to walk around without earpro on all the time and be able to converse with others in your normal voice while others are shooting suppressed in the vicinity is the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Silent_Present_607@reddit

I'll answer earnestly because I would have had the same question 5 years ago, but now own a couple: Practical reasons all come back to guns being dangerously loud. Without hearing protection gunshots will damage your hearing, permanently and rapidly. For a range day this isn't that big of a deal - you wear your electronic ear muffs and probably foamies on top of that and it's fine. A lot of hunters don't wear any hearing protection because it's "just" one shot and they want to hear what's happening around them, so that's a huge use case that a lot of people run suppressors for. Also - if you're ever in a home defense scenario losing some hearing is better than the alternative, but a suppressor is a very easy way to not sustain a lifelong injury in the process of defending yourself and also not basically flashbang yourself in the process. An unsuppressed 5.56 or even 9mm shot in an indoors pace is unbelievably loud and you're not going to have time to go get your hearing protection. They're also just not something that there's a coherent argument for being nearly as controlled as they are. They're an accessory. Guns are still loud with them (with some exceptions like subsonic .22lr), the loudness doesn't somehow make a gun less deadly, etc. Nations with MUCH stronger gun control than any state in the US sell them over the counter.
View on Reddit #55649483

octobahn@reddit

I was thinking exactly that - what are the downsides to having them readily available? I can imagine some scenarios but I also imagine without the suppressor, it may be easier to identify the source direction of the shot. I don't know, I suppose I just don't have enough exposure and experience to appreciate the benefits. I have shot handguns before, though at ranges with ear and eye protection, so I get the argument for suppressors. Outside of that controlled environment, not sure it would benefit me any. And yes, in a home defense situation, last thing I'd probably be worried about is some hearing lost. I appreciate your thoughtful response.

It's a comparative. You have to play the hand of cards you've been dealt, not the ones you want. Trump might not be the objectively best person for gun rights, but compared to everyone he's gone up against he's still the best we have and he's done some good things for gun rights, at least enough that anti-gun people have spent the past decade screeching about how much damage he's done to them. If you want to effect meaningful changes, vote on the state and local levels and get involved in party primaries. Brandon Herrera came within *400* votes of beating Tony Gonzales in the primary. You as an individual can do a lot to effect changes by operating at the levels where your actions can do the most good.

Somehow all that NRA influence dries up and their promises fall flat. We'll be here ready to talk about reality after you wake up to the fact that gun rights are only useful as a single-issue motivator if they remain *constantly under attack*. So any positive action to shore up gun rights and protect them from the anti-gun crowd are strangely absent, or miserably insufficient.

If Trump told MAGA to be anti-gun, they would be anti-gun.

If he instructed them to pass the bill, they'd pass it. And given his statements about suppressors and due process regarding firearm confiscation, I'm not surprised one bit that this thing is being held up. You want to go around calling everyone who doesn't agree with you "rhino" (it's RINO, by the way - Republican in Name Only - not sure why you're so obsessed with pachyderms in this thread) then President Bobs-For-Apples-In-Iodine is a RINO, too.

I think its adorable honestly that you think either side is interested in solving issues, or care about the issues and arent simply interested in exacerbating and continuing the same issues and gripes that keep them elected and their voters base engaged. It's like being at work. Would you rather just do your job, or would you rather take on more (and by all rights, unnecessary) work when you're a self serving politician leeching off the people. Theyre here to get elected and reelected, not to serve the public. They serve their donors and the cause of the party, which answers to again, donors, not the public. They are strictly a business. The Republican voting record means absolutely nothing, any co sponsor, any yea, nay, etc. is strictly for appearances, not out of true discourse.

This is true. It was abortion for the left. They rode the hobby horse for decades after Roe v. Wade about how the Republicans were going to take away abortion rights from women yet never made any real attempt to pass a law to guarantee those rights even though Roe v. Wade was not a good decision judicially. There were times that they could have made that law happen, didn’t, and now all the people who voted for them for that one issue are left out in the cold. This will happen to gun owners, although I can’t predict exactly when or how yet.

You're acting like this is some crazy outlier of an action and just a few bad apples. Both parties do this kind of thing. Today it was Republicans and gun laws. The Democrats did it to themselves, more recently with Kyrsten Sinema voting against a $15/hr minimum wage and against filibuster reform. A decade+ ago it was Democrats like Lieberman who voiced opposition to single payer healthcare even though they had a supermajority under Obama. After that, it was John McCain voting against the repeal of the Affordable Care Act.

Like the Hughes Amendment with FOPA, the CC in national parks was put into the Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure (CARD) Act of 2009 as a poison pill.

Two things can simultaneously be true: 1. The Republicans are far better when it comes to gun rights than Democrats. That unfortunately, isn’t even a contest. I wish it was. 2. They still suck.

A lot of people in this sub conveniently only speak about Democrats on a federal level when debating which party is better for gun rights. But the reality is that 2A rights are trampled on at the state level and there's no debating which party is more responsible. I know first hand as someone who has lived in NY & NJ my whole life.

Honestly my main takeaway from this is that New Mexico is fucking crazy. Yall need to chill the fuck out. That state is a real life battle royale or something.

The bill in question ( the [SHUSH](https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/850/all-info) act) was only introduced at the end of January, and has been in 2 committees concurrently since then.The Ways and Means Committee since it removes the tax requirement and the Judiciary committee since it deregulates silencers completely (and preempts state laws as well). Since it was introduced it has not been seen by either committee, I assume because it is more because of volume than anything else, it's #154 (chronologically) referred to the ways and means committee, with several more interesting bills ahead of it including the (repeal the NFA act).

Suppressors.

I am not surprised by this at all, thinking NFA items will ever be able to be bought OTC is crazy lol. Why would they give up their $200 extortion fee and get to put you on a list on top of it? The NFA works for the government they have no incentive to ever change anything. When has the government ever given gun rights? They tolerate the ones we have and look for ways to shoot them down after election season. With that being said I’ll take Trump and no progress on the NFA items ownership vs the rainbow gestapo coming door to door to do compliance checks, magazine bans, rifle bans, brace bans, gun stores being put out of business over paperwork typos, ammunition purchasing limits, may issue concealed permits, frt / ss bans, red flag laws, and eventually outright gun bans like what Canada just recently did pretty much. I wish there was a serious 3rd party that made everybody happy but the way it’s set up I will take republicans for gun rights any day of the week. Democrats are 10x worse by far and it’s not even close. If Kamala won this last election they would have been beating our heads in a lot worse right now guaranteed. You wouldn’t even be thinking about a bill like this that’s facts, it would be more along the lines of the Harris admin just banned any magazine fed rifle and pistol magazines over 10 rounds because you should be John wick when you are in a self defense incident and hit every single shot, fuck the fact there may be more than one person, maybe there’s 5 people breaking into your house tonight instead.

I may not be a fan of everything republicans do as I’m not religious at all, and I’m from the city not the boonies, I’m not a huge tariff fan because I source products from china for my Amazon store etc. However I would never ever ever ever vote for a democrat president unless they did a major shift away from all this liberal bullshit they are on right now.

Fascists do not have friends or allies; they have pawns.

This all started with Wayne Pepe la pew who what the fuck ever that priss mother fuckers last name is. We had an organization that had the funds to act and didn’t. Thank god for FPC and real groups like it. We could have had these bills lobbied in a heartbeat but Wayne wanted to shop on Rodeo. Oh and his wife is a better shot. They went on one of those super rich people exotic hunts and were provided everything including multiple guides. Took him 5 shots after wounding the animal. His wife smoked the elephant first try.

Surprise surprise. The party who is oppressing EVERYONE wants to block a bill that falls in the category of “things for fighting oppression”

I'm a conservative guy, but I'll call out this republican BS whenever I see it. I also hate when Trump banned bump stocks during his first term.

Alexa, list all republicans blocking this bill and cross-reference it with recent AIPAC donations
