"House Republicans To Vote On Loosening Restrictions On Gun Silencers After Las Vegas Shooting" - this from PoliticusUSA.

"House Republicans are scheduled to vote on a bill this week that would loosen restrictions on gun silencers. It will be interesting to see if that vote still takes place after the worst mass shooting in US history occurred in Las Vegas."

Brilliant. Just what we need.

"Politico reported on September 21, 'The Sportsmen's Heritage and Recreational Enhancement Act, introduced by Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-S.C.), may come up for a House vote as early as next week. The Duncan legislation includes language revising federal regulations on silencers, which currently have tougher purchasing requirements than guns.'"

So if the guy had had a silencer they wouldn't have even known where the shooting was coming from. It would have been arguably useful for a mass murderer. How's it useful for anybody else?

With all that the Republicans have been doing lately, what is there to be proud about in this country?

I think there's a lot to be proud about in the United States.
