Where is the NRA on this?
1986 may be a democrat majority away but the 2A is way more secure politically than it was then.1986 is just a Democratic majority away...
I am sure that many aren't old enough to remember 1986 as adults but, it happened fast and hit hard. The Second Amendment is in a less politically secure place than it was in 1985.
I do understand the congressional implications, but I think those things are the dumbest thing to waste your money on. All they do is heat a barrel and waste ammo. I have used one. Totally worthless. I saw a guy give his AR to a girl and he was teaching her to rhythm it so it would work. Once it did, she paniced and screamed and started spraying 5.56 rounds into the air. There were 7 others there. We all hit the deck. It was banned for use at that range before it happened. They were told to leave. This would be a good time for the NRA to step in and put their seal of surrender on bump stocks. It would silence all the liberals and make the NRA look good and get something out of it at least.

They kneejerked asking for this :

but later backtracked :

And this entire issue with bumpfire and binary triggers and other 'goodies' (yes, I own both) is the result of 1986; from a governmental standpoint it would be better to know where, and who owns what, than to have to play catch-up like they are now. The firearms industry responded to a prohibition in a great way, but those same shops would be doing MG conversions for people who would submit to the NFA to make their favorite MP5, AK or kriss vector a select fire gun, while anyone else who didn't want to jump thru the NFA hoops would be using a bumpstick, belt loop, or other 'tricks' that are out there, I can bumpfire certain rifles from the shoulder.1986 is just a Democratic majority away...

The problem with that is all these legislative actions that are being proposed go after "rate increasing devices" purposefully vague and wide-reaching words.The pro-gun community is the most resilient and have some of the best minds ever. The bump stock is proof of that. If the bump stock is banned or regulated someone will invent something new that is legal but why give concessions to satisfy anyone? Don't give in ever or we'll be concession-ed to death.
I agree with repealing the Hughes amendment but the left will not let that happen and the right will not take stake their future political aspirations that it won’t blow up in their faces.The problem with that is all these legislative actions that are being proposed go after "rate increasing devices" purposefully vague and wide-reaching words.
if they want to do something about bumpstocks they should repeal the Hughes amendment and reopen the machine gun registry, then we wouldn't have had to come up with trigger cranks, binary triggers or bumpstocks in response. And what about all of us who can bumpfire from the shoulder?
