President Donald Trump said he’ll "seriously look" at banning gun silencers after last week’s mass shooting in Virginia.
“Well, I’d like to think about it," Trump said in an interview with Piers Morgan on ITV’s Good Morning Britain. “I’m going to seriously look at it."
While Trump said he didn’t "love" the idea of a ban, he also was unhappy to see the frequency and severity of mass shootings in the U.S.
Trump’s comments represent a potential crack in Republican opposition to stronger gun control measures.
They follow a shooting last week at a municipal center in Virginia Beach, Virginia, in which a gunman killed 12 people. Police recovered a high-capacity magazine and a silencer mechanism from the scene.
Virginia’s Democratic governor, Ralph Northam, said Tuesday he will summon lawmakers back to the state Capitol to consider a package of gun-control legislation. Republicans control the state’s legislature. Northam’s proposals include a ban on silencers and high-capacity magazines.
The Trump administration earlier this year banned bump stocks, devices that let a semi-automatic weapon fire like a machine gun.

Even MAGAnigger Nick, the spic, Fuentes outlined very clearly how Trump has been an absolute failure. There is literally no reason to vote for an outsider who became no different from any other career politician. Reddit is desperate for anon meme magic because they cannot produce anything of worth on their own and cannot sell the public on a kike lover president who put Israel first.
