It sometimes amazes - literally amazes - me that gun owners waste their time and efforts on fruitless pursuits like this.Save your time guys. We are never getting silencers in MA no matter how many gay polls you vote in.
Police chiefs are politicians.
Do remember that most Chiefs do not represent what the average police officer thinks, and most live in the same liberal fantasy land as the majority of moonbats in this state.

I work in Moonbat City.I seriously doubt that as most of them have come up through the ranks. Most para-military and miltary organizations are group think. Be an outlier and you get beat down and will never get promoted. I don't buy the argument that they are the lone anti-gun spokesmen in a department of 2a supporters. There are some exceptions but the reality is that that type of thinking is what gets people promoted.
I voted about 25 times today. I don't have a subscription.
Light it up if you can. I'm not sure Globe subscribers will vote favorably.
I work in Moonbat City.
Many know I'm on the conservative side and not necessarily unhappy with President Trump.
A select few know that I own firearms. Only one, no make that two have ever been to a range with me. Interestingly those are a CIO and a senior level manager.
Nobody there knows I own a firearm related business.
The point being, I have no doubt that mingling with the steroid hyped dog killing maniacs in blue are some good people that are just as frustrated with the moonbats/anti gun crew as we are, and most of their peers don't know it.
When you work in a hostile workplace, you do not openly admit info that will reflect badly on you.
Yup. But that's how it starts. You sell your soul for money. I have worked closely with a large department and it's cut throats for promotions and overtime. Drink the kool aid to get ahead.
the only real leg the police have to really be against suppressors is the shot spotter...can't that technology just be adjusted to pick up lower decibel shots?

16. Does ShotSpotter detect gunshots from gun silencers?
In regard to gun silencers it is more accurate to call them suppressors as they suppress the impulsive
sound of gunfire not wholly eliminate it.
We have successfully if not inadvertently detected confirmed suppressed gunfire within our existing
deployments. Although we have not formally tested the theoretical impact to our system we intend to do
some targeted testing in the near future. We believe we will have various options ranging from
increasing our sensor array density to developing software/firmware to address the detection of
suppressed gunfire if it were to become a widespread issue.
I see the police chiefs injecting their opinions into this argument. Last time I checked they were law enforcement-not legislative or judicial in nature. Does that mean his personal opinion about anything should be constituted as the truth? I would imagine that there are plenty of illegal aliens in town that overlooked. So following some laws and not the others is not law enforcement-it's politics. And his speech should be qualified as political not law enforcement.
I am of the opinion that perhaps that police and law enforcement should leave their firearms locked up at the station after duty hours. They can then carry their own firearms and permits for personal use. There should be one standard for all. Then we can talk politics.
"If repealed, our officers will be at greater risk when they respond to active shooter calls because the use of silencers will make it more difficult to identify where a shooter is. Additionally, technology called “ShotSpotter,” which helps identify where gun shots are coming from and is used by my department and many others, will likely be compromised when it comes to picking up the sound of shots fired with a silencer.
?? Criminals will never buy silencers -- takes too long with all the ATF paperwork. Silencers are the easiest devices to make in a garage. If criminals want to use them, they can make them in an hour. Bottom line is that criminals do not care to bother with using silencers. The whole argument about crime with silencers is complete rubbish by the anti-2A crowd, nothing more.
Doesn't seem to be an issue...

I can't get past the paywall on my PC. Is anyone getting screen captures of the results? It would be nice to pass this along to our Reps but something tells me that with these results the Globe will quickly lose the information.
I use Chrome and ABP for that sort of browsing.
