SPRINGFIELD A bill easing statewide restrictions on firearm suppressors is among several firearms-related bills introduced or sponsored by new State Rep. Amy Elik, R-Fosterburg.
The bill, HB 1891, would allow the civilian ownership and use of suppressors popularly referred to as “silencers” while hunting or at target ranges.

Now, it goes without saying that we know the truth about the cowards of Broward County. We know who deserves the blame, and it isn’t those who have been exercising their First Amendment rights to defend the Second Amendment.
