    Are you sure you want to make everyone aware appear you need to do a little homework?

    This isn't the movies. A suppressor does not make a gun silent, it only drops the DB level to a safe range. This way you don't destroy your hearing or get tinnitus.

    Yes, we make every other soft target hardened, but god forbid we defend our children with anything but a ****ing sign.

    You and I go back in forth all the time. This is what you do when you don't have an argument.

    What other "soft targets" have we hardened. Military bases don't even allow personal to carry.

    The truck gun: So it can be concealed and locked behind the car console gun safe in my car so I have a rifle caliber weapon available for use just in case. I keep body armor in the truck too. And a fire extinguisher.

    A suppressor: Because gunshots are loud enough to harm the hearing, and I'd prefer they were only loud enough to be jarring instead and I won't have time to put on ear protection prior to an O **** O **** moment?

    Specifically, what kind of a modification would an 80% lower make to a rifle?

    I know what a suppressor does. How many shots are you going to take at that hog.

    Anywhere we don't allow people to carry has armed guards and gated access.
    Courthouse? Guards, metal detectors.
    Congress? Guards.
    Research labs? Guards, secure access.
    Banks? Guards, vaults.


    Schools: A little sign saying "EVERYONE HERE IS UNARMED"

    How many hogs are there? I'll take them all, thanks.
    No limit on invasive species. No season either. And you can hunt them at night. People get worried if they hear a lot of rapid fire gun fire at night. I'm just being polite.

    Same with my nightstand pistol: I'm just being polite to the wife who wakes up ****ing slow as **** and won't have her ear pro on if I have to shoot a burglar.

    Same with my truck gun: Shooting from a vehicle hurts. With a suppressor its not goin to cause permanent injury.. maybe.

    Ever been charged by a hog? I'll let you answer. Ever had a bunch of angry hogs around?

    For that matter it's best to use a suppressor on your home defense weapon. You can still communicate with first responders and won't be deaf for the next day, indoor unsuppressed shooting is very painful.

    In case of school shooting, apparently. You know, since the cops just stand around holding their jock straps.

    In case I need a rifle caliber weapon.

    Again: How many hogs / legitimate to legally shoot man sized targets are there? I'll be taking 2 for each of those. Maybe 3, depending on circumstances.

    You really should look around and stop ignoring what our nation really looks like ATM! Food shortages, needing other countries to feed our children, other countries to supply us full and Russia destroying a country as we sit by and finance it..

    Your next big think will be China and Taiwan and if we even consider backing Taiwan we will see poverty and starvation in this country like never before.. Your handlers have not prepared you for hard times, and pretty quick you're going to see how little they can do for the people when they have no foreign backing..

    We have sold our souls to China and the likes!

    No, but I've watched "Old Yeller" a lot.
    And how many times have you had to do this? I'm afraid of the answer.

    Yeah and you already Gotcha'd yourself dude.

    80% lowers are materials to be shaped into a firearm, they are not modifications to a firearm.
    It was decent when I was a kid, but they put in some government housing in a long row next to my neighborhood and its been downhill ever since.

    Like the fire extinguisher and the body armor, I hope it simply sits in its case ready for use but never used.

    Yes, it is a good point, isn't it? Which is why magazine limits are unacceptable, which is why body armor bans are unacceptable, which is why "assault weapons" bans are unacceptable, etc etc.
