Nebraska State Senator Patty Pansing Brooks has introduced a bill in the state Unicameral to ban silencers. The bill would also prohibit “multiburst trigger activators,” a category which would likely include bump stocks and binary triggers.
The senator offered her rationale to the Omaha World-Herald:
“If I’m not re-elected, I think I would walk away from here thinking, ‘You did nothing about the proliferation of guns in your community.'”
The Nebraska Firearm Owners Association and National Rifle Association both pledged that their organizations would work to oppose the bill.
