Brace Ban

[bwframe]

This is the first election in many years where the NRA was not a discussed factor among the electorate. Are we happy with the results?

At this time, I can only contribute to 1 organization (got laid off and I'm between jobs).

I was a member of the GOA. However, recently I have seen far more activity, especially in court, from the Firearms Policy Coalition. I am now a member of the FPC

IMHO, our funds should go to those who are actively fighting to protect and regain our rights. As best as I can tell, FPC seems to be doing the heavy lifting right now.

I don't think most people have been happy with the NRA for a LOT of elections.

Throw your money at who you wish. I'm sure it does something, maybe, kinda?

In this election, the absence of our only real gun rights lobby organization was noticeable and it appears as though we have lost.

Did the absence of a strong loud gun lobby play a factor in the election?

Should we concentrate on fixing our only effective gun rights organization as opposed to boycotting and trashing it?

I'd also be curious of everyone upset about the election, how many actually donated money to candidates

My friend when an organization becomes so bloated and self serving it is near impossible to fix. From our Gov all the way down to the Red Cross.
Look at how much money Brownells and Midway have given the suck butts in the NRA. Millions. Where has it gone. Why did it go there.

I have lost all faith in it as an organization to protect the 2A for we the people.
We soon will have no voice at all but they let us down. We did not let them down.

It's hard to tell, but what infringements did they stop that no one is talking about?

The NRA itself has a lot to do with that you know.

I don't think it would have mattered. How effective would it have been for any gun rights group to push for one anti-gun candidate over the other anti-gun candidate?

 

[bwframe]

I'm not arguing the the NRA doesn't have it's problems.

What I am asking is; Has their lack of presence cost us a loss? Has "our" abandoning of the NRA taken them out of the influential role that won us elections in the past?

Would the 2A been a regular top level topic had it been forced to be discussed by the NRA, as they have in past elections?

How many times did the MSM give the Biden/Harris's NRA rating. Consequently, how many times were they pushed to say "NRA" with the same disgust that their down ballot libs do?

 

[KG1]

I don't believe the 2nd amendment issue was paramount to Trump losing the election. People didn't vote against him because of that.

 

[Tyler-The-Piker]

The NRA saved money on this election. They didn't have to work hard to try and prove the "other side" is anti-gun and will try to enact restrictions because the candidates were, (feeling emboldened), blatant and open about it this time...

Do you know why the NRA doesn't seem to have been very active in the election? Do you think it's because we've "abandoned" them? Maybe it's that WLP is trying to lay low-profile to stay out of jail.

 

[bwframe]

What I do know is that we've lost. And that the NRA wasn't a factor in the election as they have been for most of our lives.

The 2A was way down on the list of discussion/controversy compared to years past.

Sure, it's the NRA's fault. Maybe it's ours too? Maybe we should learn from this?

And do what? Suck WLP’s twinkie? I kinda think he’s too busy spending money on lawyers and expensive suits.

Yeah, but they DID send that kid some Nerf guns.

DO NOT COMPLY!!!! I'm with Tim, we've gotta tell everyone from the bottom all the way to the top know we won't stand for this!! Email and call everyone and tell them how you feel!! Its a shame Trump won't step in and shut all this nonsense down.

 

[snorko]

After a quick read, the proposed options appear to be register the braced pistol as an SBR, remove the brace and replace the barrel with one 16" or greater, or surrender the firearm. So simply putting it back to pistol configuration is not an option? This is totally geared towards AR pistols and screws thoroughly AK pistol owners, CZ Scorpions, etc, etc, etc.

And yeah, WILL NOT COMPLY!
