Overview:
The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.
Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.
America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.
America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

Because ear defenders haven't been used by shooters to protect their hearing since before I was born.
Ammosexuals have the dumbest takes ever.
The restriction on suppressors was bogus anyways, now all of my leftie homies can save their ears easier without needing to be on an extra government list.

Problem solved for your "leftie homies". (Is that like your "girlfriend in Canada"?)
So lower chance of being heard when killing some CEOs and Billionaires?
Hot take: this isn't a big deal. The main use case for silencers is hearing protection. Short barrelled rifles could already be easily made by anybody willing to not register one. The laws mainly made the people wanting to do things legally jump through a bunch of hoops.

¹ And not from ammosexual sources like the NRA.
What other purpose would it serve? It's not like the movies where it just goes pew. It's still loud. It just means that while hunting or at the range you don't need ear plugs. It's very practical on a nightstand gun since a gun fired indoors at night is basically a flashbang. The silencer quiets it and prevents the bright flash so you aren't as disoriented.
And I would never cite the NRA. They are pretty openly fascistic and white supremacist.
