They aren't going to do anything about this or any other gun rights. They are nothing more than pansies who like to get huffy when they hear "common sense gun laws" and other buzz phrases from the democrats, but have done nothing since taking control! But, people will continue to talk about 2A or nothing, when voting. Well, we have a pro-2A majority in congress and the White House, so what's the problem? I guess the new slogan will be, "We haven't moved forward, but we haven't moved backward, either!"
Disgustin', ain't it?
It's frustrating! We get on this site and the majority of our discussions and disagreements are about politics. It appears the majority of our members staunchly support anyone who appears to even remotely support 2A rights, no matter what is included in the rest of their portfolio. Now that we have all of those people in offices to form a majority of 2A supporters among those who introduce, approve, and sign new bills into law, these elected officials are nowhere to be found! If overturning the mental health regulation didn't make the country implode back in April, what is taking them so long with this one? Why hasn't the Attorney General done something in anti-gun cities like Chicago, where civil rights are being abused in this area? This isn't healthcare and could be a quick win, so why are they stagnant?
Realistically the choice is between anti-2A and neutral 2A. Although even the anti 2A in Washington seems to be mostly for show, thankfully. They had a window with Obama when they could have passed whatever they wanted, but didn't even try.It's frustrating!

Let's remember where the real problem is here, folks. We've had Republican majorities on both sides since 2010. What we didn't have back then, was a President who would sign something like this into law.
...Now, we do. And just like Health Care, we finally have a chance to get a real gut-check on the Republican Congress. The problem is, a good number of the Republicans who need to take action to place this on his desk, were against Trump as a candidate.
So just remember that, when you're firing up your lettuce or corn silks or whatever it is you're smoking, and getting you some Trump-hate going over this issue. We have seen what kind of Republicans we need more of. We've also seen what kind we need less of. And that latter group, overlaps very heavily with the Never-Trump gang.
What does being against Trump have to do with passing or not passing these bills? Even when Obama was President they should have passed the bills and let him veto them. They they would have been ready to hand to Trump right away.Let's remember where the real problem is here, folks. We've had Republican majorities on both sides since 2010.

Not sure if it has been brought up already, but I figured this would be the place to ask. Does the HPA or SHUSH make mention of manufacturing suppressors? I've heard that it just says they'll be regulated in the same fashion long guns are, but you're legally allowed to make your own gun, like 80% lowers.
My question here, is should I buy some of those "solvent traps" now and sit on them til the act passes?
Where have we seen them?
The Freedom Caucus and the White House.
There are 31 members of the caucus and a president who just became a member of the Republican Party. Outside of talk, what have they done about the issue we are discussing or anything else 2A related?
How about actually voting on one the bills? Until there is a vote, it is all just a tease.We are 5 months into a new administration, and Antonin Scalia's conservative Supreme Court seat has been secured, you yourself mentioned the "geezer-rollback," and HPA received something like 150 co-sponsors, before an improved version was recently introduced which not only does away with the stamp, but to my understanding, makes suppressors an over-the-counter item and does away with an approval process which has been an established part of Federal regulatory oversight for the better part of a century.
By the historical standards of Washington D.C., that's not insignificant progress.
Maybe if you could name the specific action you wish would have been taken by now, that hasn't been taken yet, we could have a more substantive discussion about it?
