WFB: Sen. Kirsten Gellibrand (D., N.Y.) went on a Twitter storm Tuesday against a proposed bill that would make it easier to purchase firearm suppressors, causing the bill’s sponsor Rep. Jeff Duncan (R., S.C.) to call her out in his own tweet.
Kirsten first tweeted that, “When someone gets shot by a gun with a silencer, it’s quiet. Witnesses might not hear. Police will be less likely to track down the shooter.”
She then wrote, “How can we end violence in our communities if criminals can get easy access to equipment that’d make it hard for police to solve gun crimes?” more
SNIP: OK kids, tell Kirsten why she should silence suppress her idiotic anti-gun tweets.
I was at an Indy car race a few years ago and my hearing protection made it seem like there weren’t any cars racing….
Usually when I shoot people I use a .22 and wrap a towel around the gun.
Kirsten, if a tree falls in the woods and nobody hears it…….WTF?
Damn!….my avatar just went off http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2012/092/9/4/ka_pow_cartoon_expression_by_mike44nh-d4ut76q.png
They are only afraid that what they’ve done (continually screwing the American people) might make people want to kill politicians.
She’s rational and logical.
Yes Dad, they really are that stoopid.
Of all the fights the NRA can pick, I have no interest in this one. Don’t get me wrong, I hope they prevail.
just when you think they cant get any dumber. . . .
I’m embarrassed to admit that this dolt is my senator here in upstate NY
Brian. Me too.
Just another stupid lib politician
from the Northeast. Like cockroaches;
there are always more.
When I go to the range I wear innies and outies, still pretty loud. Still very identifiable as a distinctive noise. The Senator (C, NY) really should try to do some homework.

“Yes Dad, they really are that stoopid.”
Heeey! Stop reading my mind. Let me post first before you respond, K?
Can the NRA sponsor her for a day at the range, give her plugs and muffs and sit her beside someone with a muzzle braked 300win mag.
It just plain hurts
Then I suppose the Police have never solved a stabbing? Knives don’t make any noise at all.
My suppressor (yes, I have the paperwork to make it legal) is for 22 rimfire only. I’ve let a lot of people shoot it because a lot of people have never seen a suppressor other than in a movie. They almost all had the opinion they were illegal to own before I explain how it works.
My paperwork took the ATF nine and a half months to clear. It’s not much better today. Oh, but they did manage to cash the $200 tax payment for the application within 10 days.
She’s right. In all the James Bond movies the gun goes pffft instead of BANG. And we all know movies are just like real life.
I think Hickock45 on youtube has some suppressor analysis vids, does a good job. I think “silencers” work fairly well on subsonic .22, would be useful for an assassin. Otherwise, suppressors are not silencers and no crim is going to bother to use one.
I was told you could tape a 1/2 gal. soda bottle over the end of a shotgun and it would be “silenced” – but only once.
Never tried it cuz my shotgun’s a double and I live on 50 acres … and don’t go in for assassination.

Silencers are great for home defense, among other things. Ever fired a .45 in close quarters? Even a .22 is loud. No sense losing your hearing over some home invasion scumbag.
I like the way the NRA is using basic logic for this bill, much like the Liberals use: “common sense”. They use that tactic with us, let’s see how it goes for them.
A pistol with a can is so long that when a gangbanger stuffs one in his waistband he can’t bend his knee without putting a hole in his Air Jordan.
Brian, Moe Toe – me three.
The biggest problem in prosecuting gun violence isn’t that someone didn’t hear the shot, it’s uncooperative victims and witnesses. Most gun violence occurs in inner cities (d0h) where the ghetto creed is “Stitches For Snitches.”
Moe and Sig this area is red white and blue but the cities are killin us..dont see any remedy..death by a thousand cuts
Maybe she was thinking of never hearing the gun shot that kills you…
I used a .44 (cap and ball) to shoot a snake (copperhead) in the Goose House one morning.
Sure wish I had had a silencer, or at least a headset – but I was a little pressed for time. Head rang like you wouldn’t believe. Can’t imagine a firefight indoors … whew!
