Chuck Schumer: The Only People Who Want Silencers are Criminals

Chuck Schumer silencers suppressors

Who wants a silencer? Not the average citizen. They’re law-abiding. Not our police officers. They’re against these provisions that allow anyone to get a silencer. The only people who want silencers are criminals. Because they don’t want people to hear their bad, horrible, deadly deeds.

That’s the only people who want it except the right wing Republicans, and then the rest of the Republicans in the House who just bow down ’cause some fanatics wanted it the House, some extreme handful of fanatics and let them go along with it so they could get their votes on this big, beautiful, ugly, ugly, ugly bill.

These devices make it harder to hear gunfire. That means they delay police response time, make it easier for criminals to get away with murder, literally. 

This is a radical, extreme idea. Most gun owners would not support it, is my guess.

    “This is a radical, extreme idea. Most gun owners would not support it, is my guess. ”

    Not wanting to pay a senseless and unconstitutional tax … how radical.

    “These devices make it harder to hear gunfire. That means they delay police response time, make it easier for criminals to get away with murder, literally. ”

    False

    “Who wants a silencer? Not the average citizen. They’re law-abiding. Not our police officers. They’re against these provisions that allow anyone to get a silencer. The only people who want silencers are criminals. Because they don’t want people to hear their bad, horrible, deadly deeds. ”

    Wow! a lot of disingenuous and downright false to unpack with this one.

    First, “our police officers” do indeed want ‘silencers’ and are not “against these provisions that allow anyone to get a silencer” – cause;

    1. [Some] Police departments do indeed use ‘silencers’ for their tac/swat teams as a means to protect hearing.

    2. “these provisions” in fact DO NOT “allow anyone to get a silencer” – the bill just removes the $200.00 tax, it does not remove the 4473 background check. So basically all that’s changed is the removal of the $200.00 tax and everything else is still the same. So how can ‘our police officers”be “against these provisions that allow anyone to get a silencer” when such a provision does not exist in the bill?

    3. No Chuckie, the only people who want silencers ARE NOT criminals. In fact, criminals are least likely to employ ‘silencers’. But a lot of law abiding people want ‘silencers’ for their hearing protection capability just like [Some] Police departments and federal law enforcement cite as their reason for using tax payer dollars to buy and use suppressors.

    1. It’s the guy who’s so out of touch with common people that he managed to live over 70 years without knowing how to grill burgers.

  2. Is he calling his fellow Congressman criminals?
    I mean it’s accurate, but not what I’d expect from SHumer.

  3. “That’s the only people who want it except the right wing Republicans…”

    Right wing Republicans? How did Chuck make it as far as he did without being a good speaker? Demographics in the correct district? That explains many other people in Congress as well.

    The democrats want the population to be as unhealthy as possible. In every way as possible. That is why they champion legalized drug use. And then want the government to provide “free” health care. And “free” drug rehab.

    They will put a company out of business, that doesn’t follow government hearing safety regulations.

  5. Too many false points to discuss in a single post, but here is the first paragraph up front and center:

    Who wants a silencer? The average good citizen including police officers. They’re law-abiding and want to protect their hearing. Our police officers are not against these provisions that allow anyone willing to submit a 4473 and undergo a background check to get a silencer. The people who want silencers are good and honest citizens who want to have some level of hearing protection. Hell, criminals are going to do as they please anyway and they are not concerned about suppressor laws.

    When the Department of Justice Calls BS on Illinois’ Gun Laws.

    “When Pam Bondi was being sworn in as our next Attorneuy General, we talked about some of the things DOJ could do to preserve, rather than infringe on the inalienable rights of Americans. One of them was to start participating in major 2A litigation as an Amicus party. Washington Gun Law President, William Kirk, goes over the Amicus brief filed by the US. DOJ at the 7th Circuit in the matter of Barnett v. Raoul, a challenge to the Protect Illinios Communities Act and the momentous occasion that this truly represents.”

    How The L.A. Riots Demonstrate Democrat-Media Complex’s Loss Of Narrative Control.

    “All of the media narratives shoved down America’s throat in 2020 to justify rioting are falling flat this time around — but they’re still trying to deceive you.

    (my favorite is from the other day when a democrat politician was on TV saying the LA ‘insurrection’ was ‘peaceful’ and nothing was going on – but she did not realize she was being shown in split screen with real time coverage of the left wing domestic terrorists attacking police and burning cars.)

      Surprise: The Portland Riots Got Violent.

      “Violent rioters in Portland, Oregon, attacked a federal ICE facility, injuring officers and breaching the building with explosives and rocks on Saturday. What many on the left will call a “peaceful” protest, it’s not— it’s domestic terrorism enabled by weak local leadership.

      Four police officers were injured when a violent mob of anti-ICE protesters stormed an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility. The rioters launched fireworks and smoke grenades, hurled rocks at federal officers, and eventually shattered windows to force their way into the building. What began as a protest quickly escalated into a coordinated assault on federal property and law enforcement.

    ‘Cold’ left wing aggression attack on the United States heats up: Utah ‘No Kings’ Protest Erupts in Shooting As [violent left-wing] Rioters [AKA ‘violent attacking combatants’] Chant ’86 47′.

    “Three people have been taken into custody after gunfire broke out during a “No Kings” protest in Salt Lake City on Saturday—a demonstration aimed at opposing President Trump’s military celebration. What began as a political protest quickly turned violent, leaving at least one person in critical condition. While the motive is still under investigation, the shooting underscores the growing hostility and unrest seen at rallies where anti-Trump sentiment has escalated into open calls for violence.

    Salt Lake City Police said it’s still too early to determine if the shooting was politically motivated, but confirmed the suspect had been walking with a group of “No Kings” protesters before opening fire. While the full details are still unfolding, authorities now say there’s no doubt the shooter was directly tied to the demonstration.
    …”
    During the Utah protests, people can be heard chanting “86-47,” which is a call to assassinate the president.

    Utah wasn’t the only place that saw violent protests during the left’s “No Kings” rallies. Violent anti-Trump mobs attack law enforcement in Los Angeles and Portland, Oregon, as well.

    Dispelling the Big Myths About Suppressors.

    “With everything that is going on with the Big Beautiful Bill (Reconciliation Act) and Suppressors, Washington Gun Law President, William Kirk, decides to take on four of the most common myths that are being used by those on the left to keep suppressors regulated under the NFA. Today, with our help from our good friends at Securite Gun Club, we put to test some of these myths so that you can arm yourself with education and help bring this all important piece of legislation home. ”
