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.

How did you picture me responding to this in your head?

Nope, since that post I've been convinced. I'm not going to mark my ballot and spend the effort to mail it in, for the white race. Actually no, I'm going to vote full democrat because accelerationism is the new meme. Any other tips?

Why can't you grow some balls and just answer the fucking question: Why would you even associate, let alone vote for, somebody who is infringing on your rights and replacing you?

This is about him possibly banning suppressors, no one should ignore that.

You should KNOW BETTER BY NOW.
They cannot be convinced - so why even bother trying?
Just sage, report and say "Go back to Reddit."
Otherwise you only FEED THEM and GIVE THEM MOTIVATION!
STOP BEING A MORON!
THE MODS WILL NEVER DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. ACCEPT IT. IF WE JUST LEFT, THE BOARD WOULD DIE AND WE COULD MOVE ON FROM ENDLESS DEBATE WITH MALEVOLENT SHILLS!

I already answered, because voting is useless the entire country is ran by kikes at every level but I didn't want to see that hag as President.
I cannot satisfy you further, I can't convince you I'm white, we're going in circles. Thanks for the conversation
