  • a gun store owner playing into the nonsense that suppressors cause more “carnage” is baffling to me 100000% set up
  • @Milwaukee307
    I refuse to believe a gun store employee would even say some nonsense like this. How do suppressors cause more carnage?
  • @ruthlesstony2133
    Whats funny is that tax stamp goes through the atf and the atf approved the tax stamp. The atf needs to go
  • @schroth8736
    So wait the dude passed the federal background check required with a silencer along with the months of waiting for it and then admits on the form at the gun shop that he's mentally unstable or has been institutionalized? Kinda makes you wonder how they missed that at the federal level?
  • @DeadFishCo
    I didn’t know the suppressor made the bullets more deadly lol
  • @haase1301
    I call BS. He obviously has never fired an AR or was near someone that was using a suppressor (can). An AR 15 556 is extremely loud, even with a can. Would have made zero difference.

    Car Accidents are more lethal with mufflers

    A suppressor for a 308 or any 30 caliber rifle isn't going to reduce the decible level to a level low enough. You would still need ear pro, especially indoors.
  • @MindfulMilitant
    So the ATF signed off on his suppressor that they sent to the FFL ?
  • @alijaffery7735
    So the ATF approves him even though he had been institutionalized before?
  • Wow. It's almost like we already have a background check and registration system. Whodathunkit
  • @Point_Blank55
    My question how did he aquire a rifle if he was in a mental institution? And my second question is, who droped the ball to allow it ?
  • @c.p.739
    This actor is interesting... notice when he describes the form all the jewelry in the glass casing (not firearms.. jewlery!) He keeps repeating the word "silencer" and listen to his last sentence. Is this satire?
  • @easbreid9879
    Its not gonna make it silent especially w 5.56, you would be lucky if it made less than 130 dbs. Suppressors do not make 5.56 silent, if we were talking 300 blk out, then its a different story
  • @CurtisEWipe
    So when someone runs over people with a car, do we need to check the dmv records?
  • What is the law in Maine regarding people committed to a psych hospital? Is it just for silencers? What about the guns themselves, was he legal after being hospitalized? Nobody alerted authorities, from the hospital or gun shop or family???
