As we reel from the carnage in Las Vegas, Congress is contemplating a bill that would make it easier to purchase silencers<\/a> that would make it easier to shoot people without making a lot of noise or damaging the killer’s hearing. And guess who thinks this is such a great idea that he made a promotional video on behalf of silencer manufacturers? None other than that great intellectual, big-game killer Don Trump, Jr., son of the guy who, after Las Vegas, said, \u201cWe\u2019ll talk about guns later,\u201d meaning, of course, \u201cnever.\u201d<\/p>\n Disguised and hiding behind the laughable euphemism, \u201cThe Hearing Protection Act,\u201d the provision is, according to US News and World Report:<\/p>\n \u2026tucked into the bipartisan Sportsmen Heritage and Recreational Enhancement, or SHARE Act<\/a>, [which] would eliminate restrictions on silencers and instead treat them as ordinary firearms. Under the National Firearms Act of 1934, suppressors \u2013 along with “destructive devices” such as grenades or rocket launchers, “sawed-off” shotguns and machine guns \u2013 require federal registration and a special license to own, as well as a $200 tax stamp to purchase that would also be repealed under the proposed law.<\/p>\n \u2026 Proponents of the Hearing Protection Act say suppressors are unfairly maligned and make it harder for hunters to hear their surroundings, potentially endangering them and others.<\/em><\/p>\n
