NRA Supports Bump Stock Regulation

[Papa]

Pull the s off of https for it to display. The "powers that be" here on INGO don't know how to make it work with the s.
Thanks for posting it.

Ah thanks was wondering why it wouldn't embed.

As to the "republicans" who have either co-signed anti-gun legislation or authored it themselves I hope they find themselves jobless soon and if the GOP had any balls at all they would all be kicked out of the party. At the same time we need roughly 5% of all lifetime and 5 year+ members of the NRA to sign petitions in order to remove that snake in the grass Wayne Lapierre (who conveniently at this years meeting changed the by-laws making it even harder to call for the removal of a board member!!!)

The NRA's slouching towards giving room on this bumpstock review has appeared to have given cover to spineless of the spineless republicans to sign on to the bill(s)(?). Their strategy of acquiescing to ATF review to head off legislation may just blow up in their faces.

No, there's just feelings and public opinion.

Formed and refined by official slogans and scripted narratives now rather than arguments.

Bump stocks are so silly. I don’t see how they can be legal since they (poorly) attempt to duplicate the function of a full auto. Either they should already be banned, or full auto conversions should be legalized. I get the whole not one inch thing, but I won’t be criticizing the NRA on this one.

 

[indynotch50]

Easy decision for the NRA. They get some public support, can use these for leverage on something they would rather have. 3 weeks ago we all thought they were a waste of money, now I've seen them go for $2750. Dumb

I guess it's a good day for us that you don't work for the ATFE tech branch!

You've obviously missed the bill being put forward to ban these, and due to ambiguity, damn near every aftermarket Trigger there is?

What the hell would everyone think if the murderous douchebag used a finger instead of the bumpfire stock?

ban fingers!

What about fingers?

ban fingers!

In that case they would have dusted off the 1994 ban legislation and updated with expanded definitions to semi-autos, capacities about a few, etc. etc.

 

[DanVoils]

Or how to get the rep system working. Apparently.

Precisely!

 

[Vigilant]

What about fingers?

This whole slippery slope, the belt industry is poised to go under after they have to remove belt loops from all pants!!

 

[Vigilant]

Constructive possession= semi auto and a stick?

 

[mcapo]

Belt loops and sticks were not designed to increase the rate of fire err... I mean assist the disabled.

and the lawsuits begin....

I've never seen a reasoned argument for prohibiting automatics, let alone this nonsense of banning devices which may increase the ROF of semi-autos.

We know what is actually going on here. What the end game is.

 

[GodFearinGunTotin]

And you never will. The "argument" is always a swirling cloud of public safety, reasonable restrictions, no rights are unlimited, peer reviewed studies, nobody needs, weapons of war, and because....Europe.

Here is the NRA's actual joint statement of Wayne LaPierre and Chris Cox.

https://home.nra.org/joint-statement/

They're basically seeing that regulations are coming for bump stocks so are kindof getting on board with "something" without being specific, while at the same time pushing national reciprocity.

I'll need time to think about trading bump stocks for national reciprocity. My kneejerk reaction is mixed.

Regards,

Doug

I think its safe to say that Reciprocity is dead They just pulled bill that had the hearing protection act and removing Suppressors as an NFA Item, and other Good stuff for all of us due to LV. I just posted this on FB and can't remember the name or number of the bill!

 

[pinshooter45]

I wouldn't budge an inch on the issue. I wouldn't be surprised if the hearing protection act comes to a halt after this either.

It has been pulled! it was part of a larger bill that also cleaned up language about transporting our TOOLS across state lines and a bunch of other good stuff for us! And I can't remember the dang bill Number after just posting it on FB!
