“Instead of banning them how about we just increase the penalty for commit a crime with such devices on your weapons????”
That’s not much of a deterrent against those who aren’t fazed by the fact that they may get the death penalty for killing someone in the first place.
Banning a firearm because you can shoot quickly is like banning round tires because it allows cars to travel faster, hence, able to kill more people.
THANK YOU!!!
You are the first poster here who is THINKING about strategy to defeat the left rather than so many conservatives who think the NRA is selling them out.
I love FR, but the members who feed on our own over these purity issues are the problem, not the solution.
The NRA agreed that bump-stocks should be given a regulatory review. They know that the Obama ATF approved these for sale. They just want it to come out for everyone to see.
But, because the NRA is not "perfect" we spend more time assailing them than getting on this strategy to embarrass the regulatory left.
