Thread: Attempts to ban suppressors in the US

The gun law in U.S should be vary from states to states, I think. Even some federal politicians actually come up some bills and passed, but down to state`s level thing will be different, if it can went down to each states and that `s why it called "United States". For example like castle law, stand your ground law...but in some states you can `t just shoot intruders without proper causes even you have been threatened by a man with gun. Talking about this, what you will do when have to shoot for self defense in U.S (not in here of course) , will you empty your mag on one intruder? Or will stop shooting when the intruder is no longer a threat to you and to your family? Because on twitter, it seemed most people agree with "empty your mag" rule and said this was their instructors told them to do when they went for weapon training in States. But really? I do `t think this is logical to me. Any professional could explain little...

Yep he was a Ex New York Cop who had moved to South Caralina. I met him on a tourist Boat that I was the skipper of here in NZ, Took him out possum shooting and he loved it. Anyways few years later let him know I was taking the family to the states. He invited us to his place. The kids got to shoot full auto H& K and Uzi`s , 50cal Barret and a pile of other things.
He took me to his lock up and down one wall was I think 8-10 safes , each held 5-10 full auto weapons. Some I had no idea what they were. I jokingly said hell how much ammo have you got to which he answered (straight faced) I never have less than two hundred thousand rounds. Wife said when we got home he was the scariest person we met on the whole trip, my wife`s a pretty smart woman.

Absolutely wonderful hosts, wouldn`t let us pay for anything. We were going to stay in the granny flat at the back of his house but his wife rented it out before we arrived so he put us up in a Hotel ( Southern Mansion) around the corner at $700us per night. We got the Rosevelt suite as in President ( apparently he had stayed there) stunning. Tthats one thing with Americans they can be great hosts.

Same here, took my good mate from Oklahoma out possie shooting when he was over here once and he said it was one of the best things he'd ever done. BTW, he's def not a scary person despite having a lot of guns ( both long rifles and handguns), in fact he's well educated, has a very balanced view of the world and is a great family man. Proves not all Americans are weirdos as many here believe.

This gives a good summary of the US rules re "silencers" https://www.silencercentral.com/blog...-buy-silencer/

Nice to see some consistency when it comes to ignorant politicians as NZ isn’t alone.

I love my suppressors aka “weapons of mass murder” as they’ve certainly saved my hearing, scared less game and improved accuracy.
