Hearing Protection Act reintroduced

[A 7.62 Exodus]

UPDATE: I got a call from Rep. Luke Messer's office today. According to the REAL PERSON on the other end of the line, Luke has seen the bill, loves it, and is behind it 100%, and they were glad I got in touch with them

KEEP WRITING THOSE LETTERS FOLKS!!! We need our voice heard.

The govtrack.us website is now showing a 41% chance that this will pass.

So much for that...

I think it's a bit premature to give up on it yet... especially as we don't really know all the details yet.

Come on, these politicians will not touch that bill with a 10 foot pole. And I wouldn't blame them.

Wish I had your optimism. I can already hear the arguments of "how many more would've died if this guy had easy access to silencers".

Yep. Less than zero chance this makes it unless somebody isnt paying attention. ANYTHING gun related is out the window now. I'd say for a decade for this, depending on how fast the outrage dies down.

It will be all we can do to fight back any new legislation banning something. Its a natural reaction to events like this.

My gut says "get ready for the NFA act of 2017" .

You think that a republican Congress will flip totally and start passing anti-gun legislation?

I wouldnt put anything past them. They sure as hell dont have the backbone to keep moving forward given the optics. They'd be too afraid of the backlash. I could see the campaign commercials now: "He voted to put silencers into the hands of criminals, months after the worst shooting in US history."

General gun laws? No, I dont think they'd start voting to take away our guns. But I could see them trying to fix a hole that isnt there by banning things they think might have prevented this. (bumpfires, gat cranks, etc) Possibly outright banning NFA full autos. But I agree that they wouldnt likely touch our general everyday guns.

"Though details are still emerging about Sunday’s massacre, Clinton, the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee, took to Twitter to hammer the NRA over a push to ease federal rules for silencers.
“The crowd fled at the sound of gunshots. Imagine the deaths if the shooter had a silencer, which the NRA wants to make easier to get,” she tweeted."..

I think what will happen is that they will shelve the bill and blame it on this. I don't think they ever planned to actually give it a chance though.

I could see Trump going wobbly on this. Hope Im wrong.

I agree. I started to add Republican President to that line, then changed my mind.

 

[bwframe]

We could have had this done, but we drug our feat focusing on reciprocity and the like.

Trump won't cave to the anti's, but the RINO's may.

 

[KLB]

There was nothing stopping them from doing SHARE and reciprocity and every thing else. Congress is not single threaded. They can do a lot of different things at once.

I doubt Trump would veto an anti-gun bill if it made it to his desk. Without that happening, he has nothing to cave to.

 

[Ruffnek]

I sincerely hope and pray that I'm wrong in my previous statements, I really do.

And of course, nobody in the media mentions that they would have heard it, even with the suppressors.
Cause all their knowledge of suppressors/silencers came from movies.

 

[Ruffnek]

Just throwing this out there but this is the second time that something has happened to derail/delay the HPA. Add to that the fact that HRC and other lefties were quick to talk specifically about suppressors when they weren't an apparent factor in this case and one begins to notice an odor in the room.

Call me crazy if you want, but false flags aren't unheard of and I suspect that the crazies are desperate enough not to consider this "below them" after their many failed gun control attempts over the last couple decades.
