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 right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.' The right of the whole people, old and young, men, women and boys, and not militia only, to keep and bear arms of every description, and not such merely as are used by the militia, shall not be infringed, curtailed, or broken in upon, in the smallest degree; and all this for the important end to be attained: the rearing up and qualifying a well-regulated militia, so vitally necessary to the security of a free State. Our opinion is that any law, State or Federal, is repugnant to the Constitution, and void, which contravenes this right. [Nunn vs. State, 1 Ga. (1 Kel.) 243, at 251 (1846)] |
