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. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
By calling attention to a well-regulated militia for the security of the Nation, and the right of each citizen to keep and bear arms, our Founding Fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny, which gave rise to the second amendment, will ever be a major danger to our Nation, the amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic military-civilian relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of the country. For that reason I believe the second amendment will always be important. --JOHN F. KENNEDY |
