President Trump, DO NOT BAN SUPPRESSORS
Created by T.K. on June 05, 2019
Firearm Suppressors are an important health device which slightly lower the sound report of a firearm to save the shooter from hearing damage. Suppressors are used across the board for new shooters, experienced hunters, police and military.
Sound suppressors are not evil nor are they extra deadly. In fact firearm suppressors, sometimes incorrectly referred to as "silencers", are almost never used in crime. With over 1.3 million sound suppression devices legally owned in the United States, on average only 40 crimes per year are committed with these devices.
Firearm Suppressors are not like in the movies. Firearm Suppressors do not silence. Accessories are Arms, and the Right to Keep and Bear Arms Shall Not Be Infringed!

Folks,
I signed that petition & urge all of you to do so well.
Here is the link again.

You must verify your email address to have your signature to the petition be recognized as legitimate. It is a simple as clicking on the link when you get the email asking for your confirmation of signing the permission.
As of this topic posting there are 10,585 that have signed, & confirmed. The petition needs 89,415 signatures by July 5, 2019. ( The day after our Independence Day, on July 4th, 2019.)
What a fitting time to have the President be notified that there are many folks who do not want to see suppressors banned, or restricted even more. Those sort of things are "infringements", and "We, the People", sometimes need to remind the folks in Washington what we want.
This petition is just one way to let them know.
Once again I urge you to sign & confirm your signature,
Please click & sign. It takes maybe a minute, at the most 2 if the internet is slow at the time.

Folks, please read the below request to the Mods, & keep any political comments out of this topic so it is not relegated to the "Pit".. It will make it easier to be seen by the other members, and will help to get the word out to Support this Pro 2A effort!
Thanks!
Moderators,
I put this in this petition topic in the Our Town forum to try to get it seen by as many folks as possibly here at CB.GL forum, rather than in the "Pit" where it may not be seen be folks who do not look at topics & posts there. I felt it was important to be seen by this community. I hope you will think the same & leave it in the Our Town forum. Or, if moving is a necessity, perhaps to a forum where it will still be seen by the members here.
If someone takes a "political bent" in the topic, please edit/remove the posts of the one who makes this a political issue, rather than a 2A Supporting issue.
Thanks!, if that can be done.
JB
ETA: A Thanks! should go to the CB.GL forum member, oftig, who was how I found out about this petition.
