Which part of the gun laws are not based in reality?
- josephcsible 4y agoIt would be somewhat reasonable to want to regulate suppressors if they worked like they did in movies. It's completely unreasonable to regulate suppressors given how they actually work.
- k_sze 4y agoYep. There are plenty of videos on Youtube where you can hear how some actual suppressors sound. For example, this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAwarGzJ9R8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAwarGzJ9R8
- quickthrower2 4y agoWhat about ballistics / forensics side of things? Don’t they make it harder to identify bullets?
- Ancapistani 4y agoAside from forensic ballistics being mostly junk science, if your suppressor is contacting the projectile in a way that deforms it... you're going to have much bigger problems.
- nibbleshifter 4y agoMany firearm regulations, both inside and outside the US, are based on inaccurate perceptions of how things work (eg: suppressors), or things just looking scary. Where I live, I can get a licence for a semiautomatic center fire rifle rather easily. So long as its not of a "military style". So I can own a Mini-14, which fires 5.56/.223 rounds, etc, but not an AR-15 despite there being no functional difference between the two rifles. They both have the same standard magazine capacity, same round, etc. The reason for this comes down to one being "military style" and the other looking more like a hunting rifle.
