What ever we do we must not allow our public school teachers the means to defend themselves or the children in their charge while in the workplace. Far better to ensure an ample supply of future “victims”
to justify the Democrat attacks on the 2nd Amendment and the United States Constitution.

Criminals do not obey Murder and other laws.

My head spins.
According to this article, gun rights advocates now desire that silencers become readily
available. Their rationale is that “the silencers only make the rifle quieter and safer on the ears
to use, with one calling the ban a “Nazi” and “fascist” law.”
So hunters need silencers now? If stealth and silence is their objective, spears and long bows
are equally effective. Evidently ear plugs and other hearing protective devices are too
inconvenient at target ranges? And poachers are so self-aware and sensitive that they are
concerned about noise bothering their neighbors?
These same folks are the first to tell us that “When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have
guns.” Does it escape their logic that those same outlaws will be early adaptors if silencers on
weapons become readily available?
Can anyone here imagine the dystopian scenario of a Newtown shooting with silencers, or
some wacko sniper wannabe taking out a bunch of folks who don’t even benefit from the
warning of hearing the report of a rifle?
I started shooting at age eight and continue to have guns, so don’t bother going there. My vote
is for sanity.
