    Guys, you get it.

    You’re a gun-loving dude stuck in a ban state, drooling over some natty ex-SF guy’s IG, when ping—your phone lights up with a message from some rando.

    You open it, and there it is: a shiny suppressor in your face. It’s not just a picture—it’s a personal attack.

    These smug studs from Texas or Florida are flooding your inbox with unsolicited suppressor pics, leaving you stiff with envy.

    Welcome to the latest epidemic tormenting the legally shackled: suppressor spam.

    Gun enthusiasts in free states have apparently taken it upon themselves to “bless” their less fortunate friends with these tantalizing images.

    “Just wanted to brighten your day!” reads the caption under a matte-black silencer posed provocatively.

    Or, “Thinking of you,” paired with a suppressor coyly nestled next to a pistol, suppressor threads glistening in the sunlight.

    “I’m just trying to choose my legally allowed one firearm per 30 days from the roster of safe guns,” groans Mike, a Californian who’s received 12 suppressor pics this month. “And some dude named Hunter sends me his perfect 3D-printed ribbed-for-maximum-gas-volume-expansion tube. It’s like, ‘Thanks, man, now I’m depressed.'”

    “Why would guys think we want this?” pleads Mike, another Californian.

    Robert from New York explains how he had to get a new phone number after receiving 31 different suppressor pics after signing up for a gun auction app. “But then some guy slides in my DMs with his big black multi-cal can—talk about a bang I can’t handle.”

    The senders, however, see it differently. “It’s a brotherhood thing,” insists Jake, a serial suppressor-pic sender from Florida. “They’re missing out, so I’m giving them a taste of the good life.”

    Whether it’s a free-state flex or a ban-state bust, one thing’s clear—this suppressor-pic spree is one phenomenon that’s just getting started.

      As good as the executive order President Trump supposedly wrote declassifying all UFO files, to be signed with an"out of this world" guest in a special White House ceremony.

      Move next door to NH. Plenty of jobs and we need people to preserve freedom in its last bastion in the US.

      Ok, so I can’t have one in my state but I showed them…. I replied to each message with me holding my gun with a clear two-litre plastic bottle attached to ‘it’.
      Now everyone knows the caliber of my plinker.

      Florida man here, but I grew up in MA. My wife knows if she wants us to move, it has to an NFA-friendly state…so NH is as close to MA as I’ll ever get.
