Suppressor lobby pushing removal of suppressors from NFANew York Democrat U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand is vowing to derail measures that would remove suppressors from the requirements of the National Firearms Act.
Allied with prominent gun control advocates and New York Mayor Bill DeBlasio, Gillibrand contends that a move to lighten the Great Depression-era regulations on suppressors would make it easier for criminals to get their hands on such devices.
“Law enforcement already has a hard enough job putting their lives on the line every day to stop gun violence in our communities,” said Gillibrand in a statement. “We can’t make it more dangerous and more difficult by making it easier for criminals to obtain deadly gun silencers. These deadly gun silencers pose a huge risk to our enforcement and our communities and I will do everything I can to stop this ill-thought-out legislation that would allow more criminals to get their hands on these dangerous weapons.”
