Hood County Sheriff Roger Deeds is moving forward on a “Sanctuary County” proposal that states the Hood County Sheriff’s Office will not enforce any new state or federal gun law that infringes on the right to bear arms.

“People are scared. They don’t want to lose their rights,” Sheriff Deeds said. “They have the right to protect themselves and we’re going to make sure that they keep that right to keep and bear arms and protect themselves.”

H&P Manufacturing produces a suppressor that is literally called the “Ugly Suppressor” and honestly, it really is. However, there is a lot of science that went into their design as can be noted by the different flow path that the hot gasses are forced to take. The basic idea that most suppressors function off of is to slow down and cool the hot gasses exiting the muzzle of a gun in order to slow their rapid expansion which leads to the “bang” that is heard. This suppressor design also allows the overall length of the gun to remain shorter than with a conventional suppressor.

I almost wanted to think that this was a joke, but I really believe that it is a true product. All that I can think of is the bibs that my kids wore when they were babies…
