I am staunchly Pro 2nd Amendment, I am staunchly Pro Bumpfire stocks and I am staunchly against any moves to limit Our Right to Keep and Bear Arms. Period. I stand firmly with my fellow Americans, fellow shooters, gun collectors, hunters, home defenders, et al, against any regulations on the 2nd Amendment. Period. My life is fully committed to this, and the great country which has allowed me, and you, to prosper. I also believe we must work inside and through the NRA to safeguard our freedoms and liberty.

And? The NRA has never been absolutionist in regards to the 2nd Amendment. If they were, they would be irrelevant Most people aren't. Most gun owners aren't. The strength of the NRA is the perception that they represent all gun owners. if this is a quest for the perfect, we could give money to the Pratt Family Foundation. But it won't help our gun rights.

The NRA, regardless of their specific position lately, is still the largest and most powerful (well funded) PRO-GUN organization in this country.
If NRA members openly turn on and abandon the organization, I fear this will empower and embolden the Left far more than the bump-stock issue itself. That old quote about "...hanging together, or separately..." comes to mind now more than ever. A.W.D. |

Thank God we don't have people like you defending gun rights. View Quote The slippery slope on regulating semi-auto rate of fire is there. Feinstein knows it is there. Gun grabbers are telling you exactly what they are hoping for. Full auto is full auto. Bump fire is not full auto. What is sounds like is irrelevant. There is no "full auto like" semi-auto. It is one or the other. Rate of fire restrictions leads to no semi-autos. But yes, continue to be condescending to those that realize that there is no compromise on this issue that is a win for the 2A. |

Twist things much? You are stating the Feinstein can now claim the NRA is "backing" her legislation. I saw nothing of the sort. If you read the shit currently being leaked, it goes way beyond anything to do with a bumpstock. "In the aftermath of the evil and senseless attack in Las Vegas, the American people are looking for answers as to how future tragedies can be prevented. Unfortunately, the first response from some politicians has been to call for more gun control. Banning guns from law-abiding Americans based on the criminal act of a madman will do nothing to prevent future attacks. This is a fact that has been proven time and again in countries across the world. In Las Vegas, reports indicate that certain devices were used to modify the firearms involved. Despite the fact that the Obama administration approved the sale of bump fire stocks on at least two occasions, the National Rifle Association is calling on the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) to immediately review whether these devices comply with federal law. The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semi-automatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations. In an increasingly dangerous world, the NRA remains focused on our mission: strengthening Americans' Second Amendment freedom to defend themselves, their families and their communities. To that end, on behalf of our five million members across the country, we urge Congress to pass National Right-to-Carry reciprocity, which will allow law-abiding Americans to defend themselves and their families from acts of violence." |

Where are you getting “90% of gun owners believe full auto should be banned”? Because nearly every single gun owner I know who have ever talked to disagrees. The 2nd isn’t about your retarded bench shooting, hunting, bumpfire mag dumping etc. It was about killing corrupt governments. The NRA should have shut their god damn mouths. It was fucking stupid for them to comment on bump stocks just a couple days after the shooting, when we STILL don’t know the full story. Please do tell, all you “adults” what the NRA has actually done over the past 100 years for gun owners? Because all I’ve ever seen them do is ask for money and shit on the actual purpose of the 2nd. And there’s literally dozens of recorded quotes from their leadership proving just that. Which is why, like Mark and many others, I believe the NRA needs a massive change in leadership. Period.

I have no idea what is going to pass, if anything What I do know is that I want the NRA involved in every step of it if possible. Of the major gun bills, from 1934 to 1994, to FOPA (1968 they fucked up) the NRA made the follow on laws far less onerous than they would have been without the NRA. the NRA is not the SCOTS and it is not congress. They can not pass laws nor rule on their constitutionality. what they can do is speak for gun owners as an implicit threat against congressmen. 90% of gun owners think full auto should be banned. Again, you can ignore reality. but you cannot ignore the repercussions of ignoring reality. If you think the NRA fucked up by releasing their statement, fine. I disagree, but whatever. But if your argument is that they did it because they are all secret fudd gun banners who just want more money by generating fear, you are a fucktard who shouldn't be allowed on a tricycle without a helmet.
