NRA Against Bump Fire Stocks?
I just received an email from TSRA which contained a statement from national NRA headquarters. It says that the NRA is encouraging the federal government to examine the legality of bump fire stocks. It appears that NRA is going back to its old "go along to get along" status.

Re: NRA Against Bump Fire Stocks?
This is a brilliant strategy to make the government admit that bump fire stocks are OK as determined by ATF in 2010 so all the anti-gun folks will admit they are wrong and give up.RossA wrote:I just received an email from TSRA which contained a statement from national NRA headquarters.

It is just pure genius! Wow.
Re: NRA Against Bump Fire Stocks?
I am so disappointed to see the NRA once again side with those who seek to remove citizens rights to bear arms.

The left lies about everything. Truth is a liberal value, and truth is a conservative value, but it has never been a left-wing value. People on the left say whatever advances their immediate agenda. Power is their moral lodestar; therefore, truth is always subservient to it. - Dennis Prager
Re: NRA Against Bump Fire Stocks?
I was disappointed by this as well. Maybe it is some sort of chess move statement, but it came out sounding like ‘even the NRA doesn’t support bump fire stocks’ - emboldening anti gun forces at exactly the wrong time. We don’t even have a full investigation yet. I could care less about the stocks, I think they are dumb - but giving into the left at all is a horrible idea. It also fractures the NRA support (wow what a win for the left!!!!)

what they just said on FOX is that the NRA isn't saying they are ok with making them illegal, but they seem ok with "more restrictions"

“More restrictions” on the 2nd Amendment- yeah, that’s what I send money to the NRA to support.SewTexas wrote:what they just said on FOX is that the NRA isn't saying they are ok with making them illegal, but they seem ok with "more restrictions"

Re: NRA Against Bump Fire Stocks?
I would be perfectly fine with requiring that rifles with bump stocks be registered as machine guns if silencers were removed from the NFA. But to do that we would have to open up the NFA registry to new machine guns and limiting the new registrations to bump-fire stocks would be unacceptable.

Re: NRA Against Bump Fire Stocks?
I think agreeing to regulation of bump fire stocks in exchange for deregulation of suppressors and passage of national reciprocity might not be a bad deal at all.

With a caveat that our legislation gets passed and enacted first and foremost, which I fear will not be the case.Excaliber wrote:I think agreeing to regulation of bump fire stocks in exchange for deregulation of suppressors and passage of national reciprocity might not be a bad deal at all.

Re: NRA Against Bump Fire Stocks?
It's never going to work that way. Diane Feinstein is working on a proposal to ban any part or component that will increase the rate of fire of a gun. This can be interpreted to include triggers, light bolt carrier groups, buffers, and adjustable gas blocks to name a few. If we cave on anything, it will not end well.Excaliber wrote:I think agreeing to regulation of bump fire stocks in exchange for deregulation of suppressors and passage of national reciprocity might not be a bad deal at all.
