They played their hand a bit too soon but there will be a re-deal on Jan 21, 2021. So all bets are off on how long this will last.
Oh yes. It's far from over.

I also agree that "it's far from over". I'm curious as to what led them to withdraw the request for comments. To try to discern the reason for the retraction would certainly be speculation .... but that doesn't keep me from being curious !
As of this evening, more than 48,000 comments had been entered in the Federal Register objecting to the arbitrary and subjective nature of the ATF’s proposed classification of pistols equipped with stabilizing braces.
Yesterday, 90 members of Congress sent a letter to ATF Interim Director Regina Lombardo noting that the ATF’s proposed guidance was anything but objective and could put law-abiding Americans in potential legal jeopardy.
But TTAG has learned that the final straw that persuaded the ATF to back down and withdraw the guidance was serious pressure applied by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. A call took place over the weekend involving a number of firearms industry companies and McConnell’s office.
McConnell’s subsequent involvement in the matter, along with fast and furious (to coin a phrase) activism from the gun rights community in opposition to the ATF’s proposed move were what resulted in this evening’s win.
Jo Jorgensen got 1.9M votes. I don’t think that made any significant difference. The bumpstock thing didn’t hurt Trump in any significant way. Most people don’t give a ****.A lot of younger gun owners voted jo jorg based on bumpstocks, take the guns first, when your a republican they let you do it, and saying I don't like them talking about suppressors. He lost enough base to lose. Has he stick with the hpa and told wlp to get bent over the request to review bumpstocks his numbers would have been big

with all the NRA bashing that occurs on INGO, I am shocked that we draw so many anti-gun gun owners.
It's cute that you think that not liking the bloat and corruption of the NRA equals being anti-gun.
There are a few ways to go about reforming the NRA, it isn't cute that so many self proclaimed 2A people are on board with doing it the way the anti-gun forces wanted.
Like what? I haven't read every post on INGO, but I'm pretty sure most of us just don't want to send them any more money while they keep WLP around. That's a whole different planet than "the NRA kills kids!" like the banners mindlessly moan on about.
I'm a life member. If they ditch WLP for someone better I'll step up to endowment. Until then, me and my money patiently await the reformation.
That is exactly what the anti's wanted. No money to help elect Trump, no money to get senators elected, no money to get the attention of the elected officials we must keep in line to hold the line. The politicians know the NRA cannot turn out the vote for or against them now they once could, there were other options but the anti's manipulated the purity sentiment in many members and the organization may never recover.
And all of that goes away if the NRA cleans house and puts Wayne out on his ass. The future of the NRA rests with the NRA.
