The massive tax and spending cuts package that President Donald Trump wants on his desk by July 4 would loosen regulations on gun silencers and certain types of rifles and shotguns.
Thank FUCKING god! These laws are stupid for many reasons.
Suppressors protect everyone’s hearing. Also, I’m constantly worried I’m annoying or frightening someone. Dialing back the sound is a benefit for everyone.
Short barreled rifles and shotguns are LESS dangerous. The shorter the barrel, the slower the velocity of the shot. I have a POS derringer that shoots .45LC (.45 bullet, more powder). That fucking thing bounced a round off a wooden pallet at 30’.
The shorter the barrel, the less accurate a weapon is, even at short range. When I carry in the woods I often pack something a full-size, even though it’s a PITA. But I can hit a target with a 5" barrel, can’t hit shit with a 3".
Look, this bill is heinous, but this is at least a single bright spot.
