I want to get this pistol Ruger® 22/45™ Threaded Barrel Rimfire Pistol Models . The problem now is that my mom is anti-gun and it took me 5 years to convince her to get a rifle (my dad actually bought it) for me. I now have a Marlin xt-22 and a Ruger 10-22. (yes I am 15 but I have more knowledge about guns than my parents, which is odd). After showing my parents, she is now for the AWB, and my dad says he will get it for my Christmas present. She then said a bunch of stuff about how it was made for killing and now she is voting for Obama. First of all how do I change my mom's mind? Ironically she wants to go to a women's shooting class. Also where can I get a good silencer for this caliber? (.22lr) I won't get the silencer until I am older, because of the tax stamp. Sorry if my grammar is bad, it's not my best skill. (Fun fact: unlike the people I see in my school I don't play COD or get my gun experience from videogames or TV shows... and this is my first post)
