Here’s why a South Carolina congressman invited Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand to a gun range

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) is leading the fight against a bill that would ease restrictions on gun silencers — but Republican Rep. Jeff Duncan hopes to change her mind in an unusual way.

I'll say it: she won't go. Why? It's simple. Her position is indefensible and a visit to the range would prove her wrong.

But because she is now firmly in the anti gun everything camp, she can't risk having her position on "silencers" proven to be too stupid to defend, and her fellow anti's would crucify her.

Hollywood's portrayals of endless numbers of assassins and demented killers is completely unrealistic, yet, that is what she and her fellow anti's believe,- that supressors are actually "silencers" that will make my .357, 9mm, .45, .223 or .308 so silent that I could go around murdering massive numbers of innocent civilians at will!

Also, aside from the fact that "silencers" are long, and
even somewhat impractical to use due to their added weight, length, and sight issues, (not to mention trying to conceal carry them with your EDC...), their principal value is actually to save your hearing when shooting at the range, or while hunting in the field.

As others have correctly noted, (and as some of us have experienced if we didn't have our hearing protection in place at an indoor range and someone fired off a round), shots fired in confined spaces like vehicles or indoors can be HEARING DAMAGE LOUD!

Supressors could go a long way to saving gun owners hearing, and that's a good thing. Unless you're an anti, of course...

I hope it passes but ny state law would mean we still don't get it unless somebody can get it into scotus in ten years.

Her controllers won't allow her to go.

It's all about the agenda. Plain and simple. Knowledge refutes their reasoning.

Never gonna happen. She will NEVER, EVER put herself in a position to have to make any kind of an intelligent decision.
