Democrats demand gun control post-Las Vegas, take aim at SHARE Act

By Chris Eger

Amid calls from anti-gun groups across the spectrum to act in the wake of a mass shooting, Democrats in Washington want to scuttle a sportsmen’s package that includes easing suppressor laws for starters.
The day following a mass killing that claimed the lives of at least 59 people in Las Vegas at the Route 91 Harvest festival near Mandalay Bay casino, Democrats of all stripes went on the offensive against the Sportsmen’s Heritage and Recreational Enhancement Act, or SHARE Act, an omnibus package of pro-gun bills that has drawn heat over its language to remove suppressors from National Firearms Act control.
Former Secretary of State and frequent Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton blasted the SHARE Act as part of her social media response to the shooting on Monday arguing the use of a suppressor would have made the attack worse, a somewhat specious comment due to the fact the shooter is believed to have used high-velocity rifles, which would still have generated a supersonic “crack” due to their ammunition, even had the firearms been suppressed.
“The crowd fled at the sound of gunshots,” said Clinton. “Imagine the deaths if the shooter had a silencer, which the NRA wants to make easier to get.”
