The Silent Horror

Facebook and Instagram Ads Push Gun Silencers Disguised as Car Parts – A network of Facebook pages has been advertising “fuel filters” that are actually meant to be used as silencers, which are heavily regulated by US law. Even US military officials are concerned. [More]

Mehrotra, eh…?

I keep going back to the last paragraph.

And Wired being ultimately controlled by the same billionaire who profits from Teen Vogue’s anal sex tips for teens…

Why do I have the feeling that if fuel filters were being used for something else it wouldn’t be a story?

Silence is Golden

Last month, Representatives August Pfluger (R-TX) and Jared Golden (D-ME) introduced the bipartisan “Protecting Americans’ Right to Silence Act of 2024” (PARTS Act), H.R. 10145, which seeks to modernize and clarify the federal definition of firearm suppressors under the Gun Control Act. [More]

So Republicans help Gungrabber Golden burnish his reputation with a bill that has a 1% chance of being enacted, meaning it costs Democrats nothing but buys them all kinds of Fuddwill and “gunfluencer” kudos…

Here It Comes

Mangione had a ghost gun, a type of weapon that can be assembled at home from parts without a serial number, making them difficult to trace, investigators said. [More]

That and the suppressor will overshadow that he “raised in Maryland, has ties to San Francisco and a last known address in Honolulu, Hawaii,” Democrat strongholds all.

This is apparently his X feed.

And this appears to be his Facebook.

I’m going to look around before they’re deactivated, and gotta say I’m surprised they haven’t been.

Unsound Thinking

Manhattan Shooter Used a Silencer. Nearly 5 Million Are Registered in the U.S. [More]

So, aside from the fact tht having or not having one would have made zero difference in the outcome, there’s a 0.000001% chance of them being used to kill?

So it figures Shannon Watts would be demanding to keep them … uh … suppressed.

I wonder what the odds are someone using products she did propaganda for would result in jury awards for cancer?

Location, Location, Location

Investigators believe, judging from surveillance video and evidence collected from the scene, that the shooter had at least some prior firearms training and experience with guns and the weapon was equipped with a silencer, the official said. [More]

So much for that reform not being hysterically attacked, even though it had no bearing on the outcome. Now all they need is to tie him in with right to life.

At least he appeared to respect the law enough to stay just on the outskirts of Manhattan’s “sensitive area”:

In Their Lane

The American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery endorses the use of firearm suppressors as an effective method of reducing the risk of hearing loss, especially when used in conjunction with conventional hearing protective measure. [More]

Finally– a qualified diagnosis.

Funny… all the other side has in terms of “experts” are prohibitonist apparatchiks with unqualified opinions…

It’s a Trap!

ATF Claims Solvent Traps Were Always Unregistered Silencers… The ATF says that end caps by themselves are suppressors, even if an end cap is the only part an end-user has. The ATF clearly believes that a silencer does not have to be complete or functional before the owner crosses the line. Just the mere possession of a single part can send a person to prison if the ATF decides to prosecute. [More]

And some may be surprised with what they mean by “part.”
