In a move that has gun enthusiasts cheering and gun control advocates shaking their heads in disbelief, the GOP tax bill is set to include provisions that would ease regulations on gun silencers and some rifles and shotguns. Yes, you heard that right – because apparently what America really needs right now is quieter guns.
According to Senator John Smith (not his real name), a staunch supporter of gun rights, the inclusion of these provisions in the tax bill is a win-win for everyone. “Guns don’t kill people, loud guns kill people,” Senator Smith quipped. “By allowing for easier access to silencers, we are actually promoting safety and peace and quiet.”
Opponents of the bill, on the other hand, are calling it a dangerous and reckless move that puts public safety at risk. “This is just absurd,” said gun control advocate Jane Doe (also not her real name). “The last thing we need is more guns that are quieter and harder to detect. It’s like they want to turn America into a real-life spy movie.”
But not everyone is convinced that silencers are the answer to gun violence. “I mean, really, how much quieter can a gun get?” said Bob Johnson, a gun store owner in Texas. “It’s not like we’re trying to sneak up on deer or something. We’re just trying to shoot ’em.”
Despite the controversy surrounding the bill, it seems that the GOP is determined to push it through. “Silencers are the future of gun safety,” said Representative Joe Schmoe (yep, you guessed it, not his real name). “And we are proud to be leading the charge in making America a quieter, safer place for all.”
So there you have it, folks. Get ready for a world where guns are not only deadly, but also sneaky and quiet. Because apparently, that’s what progress looks like in 2021.
