Don't know who he meant, or what bill is on the floor or not.

But Hillary did tweet about banning silencers.

1. Silencers aren't called that. They are suppressors. As many have pointed out, they are still insanely loud. The whole James Bond or any movie person using a silencer and it being quit is a hollywood fabrication.

2. There has been like 2 homicides commited in like the last 10 years that involved a suppresser, and one of them was hand made one.

3. Suppressors do not work like at all on automatic rifles, which is what he used. They heat up and cause to many malfunctions. Nobody really makes them at all for those types of guns because of that.

4. He didn't use one and thus it should have no bearing on this situtation. Nothing should ever be banned on a "what if" scenerio imo.

Actually, yes. Because that atleast forces the person to commit an illegal act and therefore increases the chance of him/her being arrested early on.

Last I checked multiple Democrats spoke up supporting Hillary’s comments. House Democrats as well as just Democrats in general. No I didn’t go into detail about the entire bill because It doesn’t matter, the issue is the Democrats idiocy when it comes to anything gun related and the insistence on passing needless laws.

Actually no. I could have a fully auto AK or AR in my living room tonight if I wanted to spend the money. Both of which are highly illegal in my glorious state of California, as are the high capacity mags I could have delivered with them. In order for me to get a legal rifle or handgun I would need to pass a written test to obtain a firearm permit unless I already had an up to date one, then go through the waiting period at the gun dealer before I could take the gun home. 

Obtaining illegal firearms is much easier and faster than going through legal channels. 

So as it turns out, the man had a legal rifle with a bump stock modification. So, seeing what happened here, it is at least logical to make bump stocks illegal. Why? One, they aren't necessary for day to day hunting or home protection. Two, in the wrong hands they turn crazy people from murders into killing machines. If we can't come up with a legit background system to protect us from people with real issues, we can at least stop them from killing us all. I think we can all agree on that.  Also, selling illegal auto weapons should be vigiously procecuted.  Thats just common sense.  If people can buy autos, thats a problem.  Lets solve it. 

That is a tricky thing to do though.

So it was a legal gun, with a legal modification on it.

I see lots of things used for illegal purposes that are sold legally in the open. Such as marijuana pipes in places where it is not legal. They sell them as for use with cigarettes, even though everyone knows that 99% of the time they are used for marijuana. Or how abou the whole piracy of video games. Someone says they are using a legal emulator, or legally hacking their OWN system to do what they want on the system. They are not doing anything illegal until they use it to play pirated games.

Same with this bump stock. I don't see how it is illegal until it is added to a gun making that gun now a fully automatic gun, something illegal. Before that though, it is not illegal. It's tough to ban parts to a whole.

Yes because a machine gun is never necessary ever.

You either ban all guns, or forget about changing the laws that exist now. No amount of lesser guns will fix the problem of using a weapon of some sort to injure or kill another person.

Just imagine a similar situation, but pretend the shooter lived for guns and was an ace shot, but was using a normal everyday, non auto, non semi auto weapon, that was purchased on the black market, and only managed to kill 25 people and injure 50. Would this be ok?

No. Yet people would still be screaming to ban those specific types of guns, or ban guns altogether.

This situation has very little to do with guns, of any type, and everything to do with this man's state of mind. Since he clearly planned and decided to take a bunch of people's lives for whatever reason, he would have found another way if he could not use a gun.

Envision the day that guns and blades no longer exist in the public's hands. Yet you continue to see the same type of events occurring due to mass stabbings with knives. Are we going to make it a nightmare for a chef or everyday person to get their hands on a knife just because a few people decided to use them as a weapon against another person?

This incident is terrible, and I feel horrible for those poor people, but I don't feel anymore sorry for them then I do for people who are killed by drunk drivers. Should we ban alcohol? Vehicles?

The answer isn't taking away potential weapons, it's about the people who may use them. This of course is something that is almost impossible to solve 100% unfortunately. It is however where everyone's focus should be.

And what about the fact that the Orlando shooter stated that it was retaliation for ISIS members being killed? He may have been a lone wolf but we know what motivated him - the religion of peace.

He wasn't talking about a machine gun but all guns.
