Hiram Maxim Jr. invented the silencer. His patent application called it a silencer. Who are we to argue that the inventor of the silencer didn’t know what he was talking about? ‘Suppressor’ is just political verbiage.

“No evidence, just fear, politics, and a desperate government looking for revenue”. I very much doubt that anyone involved thought that a tax equal to round 70% of the price of a new car was going to raise much revenue, and I suspect the cost of processing transfers exceeded the tax revenue. This was always intended as a back door prohibition.

And basically, there things stood until until the end of the couple when crazies shooting up McDonalds brought the ban on scary-looking rifles. Which started the litigation trail that lead to Bruen.

Then as now, few proponents of bans were willing to note the correlation of de-institutionalizing the insane with mass shootings. Or to consider what policies have incentivized using a pistol to prove manhood.

It’s not surprising that Giffords.org, the anti-gun group, is taking a victory lap over last night’s Virginia gubernatorial race. They’ve got Abigail Spanberger and Democrats in power, so they’ll undoubtedly try to strip Virginians of their God-given Second Amendment rights.
…
But it is ironic on two fronts. First, Giffords.org has not called for tougher criminal penalties for gun crimes. In fact, quite the opposite.

They explicitly reject tougher prison sentences for nonviolent gun possession offenses, as well as oppose tougher prison sentences for illegal possession and trafficking. Why? Because of ‘racial disparities’ and ‘mass incarceration’ and a fear that such policies would ‘harm people of color.’
…
From the Giffords.org website:

‘However, Giffords does not support the penalty structure, which increases the length of potential prison sentences for illegal possession and trafficking offenses, established by these provisions and the potential implications these harsh penalties could have on people prosecuted under these provisions, particularly people of color.’
…
Nor did Giffords.org condemn Jay Jones, Virginia’s Attorney General-elect, who openly fantasized about putting ‘two bullets to the head’ of Republican Todd Gilbert and wished Gilbert’s young sons would die in their mother’s arms so Democrats could pass gun control legislation.

Instead, Giffords.org endorsed Jones and called him a “gun sense champion” when they endorsed him for the VA House of Delegates.

[note: as I have said before – these anti-gun orgs were never about ‘saving lives’ or their ‘gun violence’. That was just the excuse they used as part of their ’emotional-social engineering’ tactics they spewed with their false and biased studies and lies. Their true purpose is the communist ideal of controlling the people and their rights and if they can’t they would like to see you be killed either by or through their endorsed racist marxi-st violent (or violence facilitating) politicians and their far left wing cult members or by the criminals they want to let run free – and now they openly endorse it.]

The post gained traction after it was shared by The Persian Jewess Instagram account. The image consisted of a fake ballot that listed two candidates: ‘A Democrat. Just a Democrat,’ and the other, ‘An actual communist jihadist. A literal Karl Marx-quoting, America-hating jihadist.’ If you listen closely, you can hear the sound of a million blue-haired, septum-pierced, gender-fluid whack jobs across the country screaming in a mix of rage and agony.
