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 if it was a third or fourth, the implications are extremely noteworthy as they determine the future of American's capacity to resist and infringes on the Second Amendment.

They have no choice.
The Trump ploy by the Zionists almost woke the dragon, and its still not back to snoring yet.
They're in full damage control.
Trump will be destroyed in the eyes of his base, then he'll get the Caesar-who-never-crossed-the-Rubicon treatment. They have to kill his memory, they have to burn the effigy to ensure the goyim don't actually rally.
Trump,was a prop, but the prop has become too popular, so they have to dirty it (so you won't care about the next part) and then destroy it (so they can go back to having an assured 'right side' of history).
Thats one possibility at least.
