Hard-core right wing idealists are no better to our 2nd amendment health then are the nuts on the left. Trump is the best thing we've had in a long damn time. Demand no budging with bumpstocks and refuse other minor concessions to throw them a bone, turn your back on Trump, and see how you will like Bernie Sanders, Pocohontas, or Michelle Obama as pres. Any Democrat will push for a full ban.....ALL of them!

MAC is being a fucking idiot right now.

Let's say he succeeds and Trump gets the axe in a couple years. What happens? Likely we would be staring at the very real chance that GENUINE "Turn them all in" legislation gets passed and with a razor thin SCOTUS lead, it has a decent chance of getting "found" Constitutional.

Now let's say Trump gets 6 more years. Kennedy retires, Ginsberg might finally die. Conservatives get TWO more amazing justices like Gorsuch onto the SCOTUS. The liberal agenda is FUCKING DEAD for a generation. The rights we see in the Constitution are more or less safe, and even if the Democrats hold all the keys to power again, all their nutball ideas are stricken down.

On a lot of things MAC makes a lot of sense, right now, he is nothing but a fucking tool of the Liberal Democrats.

Quoted:
To be perfectly clear, I whole heartedly agree with his principles on this. We should not give an inch in this fight.

However, I sincerely believe his whole "Fuck Trump/Fuck the NRA" shtick is hurting more than it's helping.

I do think that Trump is once again playing 4D chess, eating up the prime time bandwidth with talk of bump stock not-a-ban memos and mental health instead of letting them control the narrative with talk of AWB 2.0, mag bans, universal background checks, etc.
Remember Obama's "gun control" EOs? 41P/F ended up backfiring and actually making NFA transfers easier by eliminating the CLEO approval (although it made it harder on trusts, LLCs, etc.). The point is, Trumo sending DoJ a memo on a novelty item means precisely nothing without legislation.

In all likelihood, we will look up in a month and be back to business as usual.

Now if you read some of the comments on MAC's FB page and YouTube feed, there are a lot of people pledging not to vote or vote against Trump in 2020. This is a mistake. Even if we end up in the worst possible scenario (a bump stock ban) it pales in comparison to the language included in DiFi's 2013 Assault Weapons Ban that died in the Senate. If the Democrats win back power, I don't think it will be long until they push for FAR more punitive laws and regulations.

You also have to take into consideration the non-gun issues. I for one don't enjoy watching western culture get fucked by the long brown dick of the third world. If MAC continues his anti Trump shilling, he very well may contribute to forces FAR worse than a stupid bump stock ban.

MAC's heart is in the right place, but he needs a serious come-to-Jesus talk.

I saw those and he went insane because he posted an article that said bump stocks were banned.

He confused “executive action” with “executive order”.

He had no facts on the matter, and shot his mouth off.

That will probably be the extent of new bans and regulations. It's pretty clear ATF has been given marching orders to change their position on bump stocks.

Unfortunately the courts aren't very pro 2A, so we aren't highly likely to get the ban overturned.

I support Tim on Patreon, largely because I love military rifles and dig his videos. That said, I never understood the logic behind hoping we get a Liberal President that will 100% attack the 2A and introduce gun control legislation after gun control legislation because our guy did one thing we don't agree with.

This is the same as the TWA mechanics Union who wouldn't budge an inch in contract negotiations and drove the company out of business. The Union really showed them!

Same goes for the NRA. They screwed the pooch recently, however, they remain the most powerful pro-2A lobby group in the U.S. by a factor of 1000. G.O.A has no weight with Congress.

Let's work to fix the attitudes of our leaders and the NRA, not just chuck the baby out with the bath water.

IF Trump goes on to support gun control legislation in any form, the GOP should put up a die hard 2nd A candidate in 2020 or face not being in power for the next few years.

While MAC’s heart in the right place, I’m of the opinion staying calm is the best thing right now. Yes it does look like the administration is looking at a bump stock ban, but right now the only thing that’s been done is to order a study that’s already underway to continue. On the face of it, nothing happened yesterday. Write the White House on their website, take the polls that Trump emails to his supporters (don’t you get those

) but remain calm until we have something tangible to get upset about. Chicken littlism about the MAGA train crashing doesn’t do anything to help right now.

My argument is the Bumpstock puts us at a severe disadvantage in the gun rights argument. Bumpstocks allow you to shoot Full Auto from the shoulder, so you can actually aim and shoot.

The belt loop argument is fucking retarded, and people here LAUGH at pictures of Africans with AKMs at their hip. They and we laugh because we all know, shooting from the hip is extremely inaccurate and wasteful. So saying a Bumpstock is the same as a beltloop, you are fucking dumb or being deceitful.

And people here were amazed and shocked that Bumpstocks were given the stamp of approval.

I think Bumpstocks will do far more harm to our cause. You have a million videos of idiot YouTubers with Bumpstocks, and the public sees, for all practical purposes is a work around for the NFA Machine Gun Ban. Bumpstocks are a huge anchor being unnecessarily placed on the 2A argument.

I understand his point, and am not at all happy about the proposed bump stock ban, but I think MAC is handling it wrong.

His posts come off as childish rants, and it seems like just about all of his recent videos have been him bumpfiring and ranting on about the NRA etc.....

It's one thing to try to change policy and change people's minds, but the one cold hard fact exists: If Trump loses in 2020 an extremely anti gun Democrat will take his place.

Obama was as anti gun as you can get, and he still couldn't pull off an AWB. Never mind the AWB, Obama couldn't even get an enhance Background Check for mentally ill people passed.

So even if you are for or against, it's extremely unlikely any new a President will be able to do anything on guns.

No disrespect, but consider that -

Democrats rammed Obama Care down the throats of all with not a single (R) vote. No way to stop it. They had the Presidency, The Senate & The House. If the Democrats had wanted, they easily could have brought back 1994 AWB again and passed it same way. It would have cost them at the next election as it did Bill Clinton, but it would have been the Law of the Land (and next time without any 10 year "sunset" clause)
