A silencer minimizes noise. One would have delayed finding Las Vegas shooter by many more hours

Idiocy and lies. Getting your facts from Hollywood? They were notified to his location by the smoke alarms tripped by hundreds of rounds
-
The sound of gunfire alerted people being targeted that they were being shot, and the direction of the threat. More would've died otherwise.
-
Do you have any idea how ineffectual a suppressor is on a full auto weapon? They don't turn a gunshots to zero DB. Do some research.
-
No one said it reduced it to zero, just as no one suggests gun deaths would be zeroed with restrictions. It's substantial harm reduction.
-
Except there is practically zero evidence thus far that suppressors have contributed in any way to homicides by gun in the US.
-
Anyone who calls suppressors "silencers" obviously doesn't know that they only reduce noise to 130 DB, about the sound of a jet taking off.

what is more gun control going to do to stop gun violence?
-
It substantially reduced the number of homicides and suicides in Australia.
-
You need to double check that. Suicide rates adjusted for demographics are the same, murder rate was declining sharply before law change.
-
And yet ours are skyrocketing.
-
No. It's up slightly in the last couple of years. Violent crime is way below levels 70's through early 90's.

Planned Parenthood should get the same amount of taxpayer money the NRA does. None.
