Giffords' "Push Poll" on
Firearm Suppressors Lies, Misfires

This very day, firearm suppressors – or silencers – are legal to own in 42 states and 41 states allow them to be utilized for hunting purposes. Hollywood has portrayed these car-mufflers-for-firearms in a way that has left many Americans confused about what they can and cannot do to the sound – called the "report" – after a gun is fired. Unsurprisingly, the Giffords gun control group is exploiting that misunderstanding for political gain.

The expansive "Big, Beautiful Bill" that passed the House of Representatives last month included a provision to make it less duplicative for law-abiding Americans to legally purchase a firearm suppressor. But now as the U.S. Senate is considering the bill, Giffords concocted a questionable snap poll that lied to a statistically insignificant number of "swing state" voters to claim "making suppressors easier to obtain" for law-abiding Americans is a losing political issue.

As Punchbowl News reported, Giffords released "a new poll from Senate battleground states showing that GOP efforts to make gun silencers more easily available is deeply unpopular."

"The House Republican version of reconciliation eliminates a $200 federal tax on silencers. But according to the GIFFORDS' poll, large majorities of voters… don't want to see that happen and are opposed to the proposed change." . . . .
