I wish it were funny, but the fact is that this is a classic case of the stupid leading the blind. So many people out there feel this way, and they are "educated" by the histrionics @ Brady. That quote about sprayfire is the
same one that witch Feinstein used when she pushed through her ban on "assault weapons" in Cali. It's fear and ignorance being used as a tool by "leaders" - that is the same reason we got wonderful legislation like Patriot. So when Brady and Feinstein and Obama and Hillary start decrying "spray fire" - only a few people (us) will truly understand that they have no clue what they are talking about. The rest of the planet says "yeah, that's right, what do you
need those for???"
Every time I hear about the screaming about how silencers are only used for killing quietly, i think of the dedicated people at Wicen's, who would benefit from freer access to silencers by shooters. Instead, they are slowly being attacked for noise violations.
Some SWAT units use silencers. Are they assassins? Murderers? no - they do it because they need to be able to fire in CQB and still hear at the same time; things like orders, commands, and interactions with suspects/hostages.
Another reason why Politicians shouldn't be allowed to legislate things they don't understand. Look at Nutjob's ban on high capacity "Clips" (I didn't know the M1 Garand had a higher capacity than 8?
) Or his flamethrower ban. Thank Jebus for that!! We need to cut down on the use of agricultural implements! Hopefully he'll go after those lethal John Deer rideable mowers next
Or better yet:

Carolyn McCarthy getting owned
on her own legislation; she wanted to ban things that she didn't understand. That's
fear and ignorance talking...two things that should
NEVER be around when legislating.
After you stop laughing, listen to her again - she wants to legislate certain types of guns because they are "the guns that most gangs and criminals are using to kill our police officers." In essence, she does not know what she is talking about (handguns take that role, not "Assault Rifles"). Yet she is in power. Scary.
Brady is a resource that quite alot of handwringers use. It is their bible on why things are so bad. And that's a tragedy - a lack of education coupled to fear coupled to numbers will be the reason that we lose our rights. My own relative, a woman who should know better, was raised around guns and listens to me talk about them,
SAID THE SAME DAMNED QUOTE, about how "we shouldn't allow people to be spraying bullets everywhere".
Ignorance it out there. Its our enemy.
