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.

Yes, Satan, thats the point.
You're a gullible goy who claims it was a memevote out one side of your mouth while defending (bad) policy out the other.
We've been over this you disgusting little wretch.
Lone-wolf shit is retarded. And Trump placating moronic plebs who actually believe he is helping anything at all.
Case in point:
Do you see, perhaps, why this is an issue?
Simpletons like you, instead of being concerned about the state of things, are placated with shit like memecandidates BTFOing the libs on twatter, while opening the border, attacking 2A rights, and giving the israelis whatever the fuck they want short of a full-scale invasion of the Middle East (though not for lack of sabre-rattling to get the goyim geared up for a 2nd term Iran conflict!).
What do you think I consider such?
What do White, right-wing people do when they realize the system is rigged against them and their enemy is in power who wants nothing more than to destroy them?
Nothing, if they never realize that because a meme gets elected and subsequently betrays them in totality while telling them constantly about how they're "#winning".
