Part of my point. WHY do we have the extra regulations on fully automatic firearms? WHY are they stigmatized? Is it because someone might use one in a crowded area? We sure as hell see that happening now with semis, and to great effect.
If anyone truly feels like it's a people problem and not a gun problem why has there been so little outcry to legalize fully auto weapons post 1986? Does anyone here feel as though their 2A rights have been infringed upon by the full auto regulations? Do you even realize what you're missing? Do only criminals have fully automatic weapons? Why have they been used so INfrequently in crimes?
The OP, though clunky in its wording, is essentially correct.
But, I would caution that there are still unwanted political ramifications for the right and certainly for politicians who go too far on this issue. The NRA exerts an enormous amount of influence in Washington, which flies under the radar for the most part. A tragedy like this shines a light on that influence, and the politicians who accept the most money from that organization are generally called out for that.
Politically, that's not a big deal in some areas. For contested seats where they rely on independent voters, who believe in the 2nd amendment but aren't as passionate about gun ownership in general? Probably not a good thing.
What a stupid post. yeah, gun lovers are winning. Yep, guns define who you are. It makes you brave and powerful. You do not care that thousands of people and many, many kids die every year due to our lack of gun regulation. They are collateral damage to your ability to hold a deadly weapon in your sweaty little hands. Truth is guns can be legally regulated. And, they should be.
Putin must be overjoyed by the useful idiots in the US....he would LOVE nothing better than to see the citizens of this country disarmed or have their rights limited in some way.....
Useful idiots (liberals) being played by the Russians and they don't even realize it.....how pathetic.....
Put blame where it belongs
ATF decided it could not regulate bump stocks during the Obama administration.
It that time," the NRA wrote in a statement. "The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semiautomatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations."
The ATF and Obama admin. ignored the NRA recommendations.
