Murphy took to X earlier in the week to share a blatant lie about suppressors being legal and what they do when attached to a firearm. "A hidden provision of the bill...wait for it...legalizes gun silencers!! What?? So now criminals will be able to hide their crimes and police will lose the ability to respond to mass shootings. WTF," the Democrat Senator from Connecticut tweeted. SUPPRESSORS HAVE BEEN REGULATED AS PART OF THE NFA FOR MORE THAN 90 YEARS. THE PURCHASE OF ONE REQUIRES EXTRA SCRUTINY AND A $200 TAX STAMP. IT'S BEYOND STUPID, AND IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME COMING FOR CONGRESS TO DO SOMETHING. DESPITE BEING 100% FAKE NEWS, THE TWEET STILL HASN'T BEEN DELETED. YET, MURPHY ISN'T GOING TO LET FACTS GET IN THE WAY OF PUSHING A NARRATIVE.
