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.

Except you don't mean that. Say what you mean you cowardly faggot.
Here's an objective reason whites shouldn't vote in general and should commit to an armed revolt of their own government: their government (mostly white) is replacing them out of short-term self-interest and you should be against this if you're white. Voting (or not voting and doing something else) is no longer subjective for whites who are self-aware of their replacement. So you're either not white, or white and sincerely don't fucking care about the future of your people (you got a vasectomy or some shit).
