A state lawmaker will take a shot — perhaps a long shot — at banning bump fire stocks and gun silencers in Nebraska.
A rare gun control measure in a conservative state where proposals usually try to expand Second Amendment rights was among the 119 bills introduced Wednesday on the first day of the 2018 Nebraska Legislature. The 49 state senators will meet for a 60-day session scheduled to conclude April 18.
The opening day proceedings were marked by pomp, circumstance and lots of smartphone photos of senators with their families. |

I'd almost, repeat... almost be willing to go along with a ban on SILENCERS: devices which renders the noise level on a firearm down to zero decibels, because I understand enough about the physics to know that goal is impossible to reach. However, what the gun-grabbers are really doing is trying to prohibit firearm mounted hearing protection devices that merely reduce the noise level to a less dangerous one.
.
If the law contained the true definition of "silence" as a standard, it wouldn't affect any device on the market today or for the foreseeable future, but it would be the bottom of the slippery slope. |

TO REMEMBER |
| [The American Colonies were] all democratic governments, where the power is in the hands of the people and where there is not the least difficulty or jealousy about putting arms into the hands of every man in the country. [European countries should not] be ignorant of the strength and the force of such a form of government and how strenuously and almost wonderfully people living under one have sometimes exerted themselves in defence of their rights and liberties and how fatally it has ended with many a man and many a state who have entered into quarrels, wars and contests with them. — George Mason, "Remarks on Annual Elections for the Fairfax Independent Company" in The Papers of George Mason, 1725-1792, ed Robert A. Rutland (Chapel Hill, 1970). |
