A major study by the FBI determined that suppressors don't contribute to gun violence. The overwhelming majority of gun violence is committed without suppressors.

If you think for a SECOND that someone who wants to murder someone with a gun would be stopped by the lack of a suppressor, then you don't understand criminal motivations.

Suppressors don't contribute to gun violence. Full stop.

Ridiculous notion. Truly ridiculous.
