If you listen carefully while you read this article you can hear the NYT grinding its teeth.

Why dident they do this for bump stocks. They need to be telling him to get national reciprocity and full autos legal/cheap again. We as gun owners need to be on the offensive and try to get our rights expanded. Just like businesses you either grow or shrink, staying stationary isent a option.

It’s amusing how many of these news outlets continue to refer to POTUS as “Mr. Trump” instead of President Trump.

While I don’t agree with everything the NRA has done, they are still the big boys on the block when it comes to standing up for the 2A. Not sure if Erich Pratt’s (GOA) or Joseph Tartaro’s (SAF) phone calls would have made it through to the Pres. I support both of these organizations as well, they just don’t carry the same political weight as the NRA.

That's how the New York Times has always done it. It's not unique to Trump.

Because, the friends of ours and the NRA, in the house and senate told Wayne that the Congress was going to pass something after the Vegas shooting. There was no way to stop it. The only option was to let Trump do his thing administratively. Since that seemed a better option they ran with that.

Because it was far more complicated than this. It's possible that the bump stock result was a compromise. It's very possible.

But INGO told me to revoke my NRA membership and to denounce the NRA as badwrongers.

Interesting. A step in the right direction I hope.

NRA or Wayne?
