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.

Okay cool, so next year as long as I don't mark that piece of paper I'm supporting the white race more than I would be by not marking that piece of paper.
Well voting 3rd party is out, because once that third party becomes powerful then why wouldn't they be corrupted by the same kikery as the other two parties? Voting Democrat or not voting in my situation are the exact same as voting Trump
Entering politics myself is useless because that would mean I'm relying on useless votes to become useless.
So what do you recommend should be done to further the white cause?

The difference is that "not voting" means you aren't actively supporting the enemy.
