Every commie/Nazi at the NYT needs to be indicted for treason. A one day trial followed by a one day hanging.
We’re going to need more rope
Cut ties with manufacturers?
How many distributors a use a Visa card to purchase stock?
Manufacturers rarely, if ever, sell to the end consumer, who are the ones most likely to use a credit card.
Good for Visa!
Nice seeing companies standing up to the insane Left.
Agreed. My statement about credit cards tempting those with slim constitutions stands.
Never been an issue for me. Of course, there's always the first time :)
I did my part. Bought a new S&W 5.56 with my VISA, plus an Eotech sight, bipod and sling. Also added 1,000 rounds of ammo. Didn’t need any of it, but I’m sending the libtards a message.
Good for them. We could all send our support by sending them a thank you here: https://usa.visa.com/Forms/contact-us-form.html
Bought a DPMS AR years ago to tweak liberal acquaintances, but realized what a great rifle it is and how much fun it is to shoot. Thanks libs!
At least one company understands the goals and objectives of a for-profit business!
Some companies recognize it is a slippery slope to refuse service to legitimate legal organizations and companies. Where do you stop once you start.
GOOD for VISA! Now:
Bumpfire stocks are OBVIOUSLY not machine guns.
BUT: You say the anti-gunners on the march? LOL!

No need for a Bumpfire stock. Amazingly fun! Accuracy is naturally compromised, though. Short handgun cartridges have the highest cyclic rate, since less bolt travel is needed.
Bumpfiring is 100% legal, and safe in a properly maintained modern sporting rifle. Some gun ranges do not like it, though, because they feel you don’t have adequate control of the firearm. I am sure that could well be the case of you bumpfired a cartridge anywhere from 7.62 NATO (.308 Winchester) on up.
I do not believe that these 150K write ins are legit, as Rush explained that a while back he had a similar experience. He pointed out and explained how a few people who know how to work the system have a way for just a few people to come up with enormous amounts of write ins. There is a name for this process but I am not an expert in this field, but his explanation made sense and he found out who some of these crazy, die hard socialists were.
Does Planned Parenthood take VISA?
Under existing law, bump fire stock equipped rifles are NOT machine guns because each and every shot, utilizing a bump-fire stock in the slide fire mode requires a separate activation of the trigger. Period. There are NO modifications to the fire control group. Neither the disconnector, the hammer, the selector lever, lower receiver, or the trigger is altered in ANY way. An automatic sear is not added.
One thing that I really like about Free Republic is the amazing incisiveness and the vast quantity of thoughtful and informed analysis and information about a multiplicity of subjects. However, I am EXTREMELY disappointed about much of what has been said of the the bumpfire stock controversy. Much of it sounds has though it was promulgated by the ignorant gun grabbing left.
I am a 2 tour Vietnam infantry and armor combat veteran, and a member of the Illinois National guard for 26 years. I served in a NG Military police battalion has a platoon sergeant and an operations sergeant. I was a certified Illinois State Police Firearms and Defensive tactics instructor, and a member of Special Reaction and SWAT teams. I have fired hundreds of thousands of rounds through automatic weapons of all types, belt and magazine fed, tripod and shoulder mounted, ranging from .45 caliber M-3 sub machine guns up to M2A1 40 mm twin anti-aircraft guns mounted on an M-42 self propelled anti-aircraft gun.
I am retired and spend one day a month on the rifle range shooting my AR-15 rifles. When this slide fire device was first introduced, the low cost and novelty intrigued me and I purchased one. It was a bit awkward to use at first, but in one afternoon, after a bit of practice I was able to get 90% of any length burst on a man sized target at 50 yards, which is close to the normal engagement ranges for truly effective full auto fire from shoulder mounted weapons. It is not as useful has a true selective fire assault rifle since it requires two hands to employ, but it DOES have some measure of limited tactical utility for anyone who practices with it. I never really considered this item to be a true tactical instrument, but I did appreciate the ingenuity and thought that went into turning “bump fire’ into almost as accurate a technique has I could use with a true select fire assault rifle.
Experts who have decried the effectiveness of full auto fire from assault rifles and other shoulder fired weapons are largely correct. I was constantly yelling at my squad to use the “auto” location for the selector switch sparingly. Semi-auto fire is usually most desired and superior, and includes the advantages of duration of sustained fire to prevent barrel overheating and enhances ammo expenditure and accuracy. Auto fire from an assault rifle has the following tactical utility, in the final and close in (100 meters or less) stages of an assault, to gain initial fire superiority, to break contact, particularly has a counter ambush technique, when firing along final protective lines when a perimeter is in danger of being overrun, and to support by fire the maneuver tactics of another element. Leaders should be responsible to control the fire of their subordinates to maintain fire discipline, but in those roles that I have outlined, full auto fire is very useful indeed, even if it is simulated auto fire delivered from a bumpstock.
The battle has been joined. The anti-gun hysterics are in full cry. They will never be satisfied until they achieve near total firearm confiscation. The genie is out of the bottle. You cannot stop psychopaths employing bump fire methods unless you can repeal the laws of Newtonian physics. I realize that some sort of regulation will ensue in the wake of this horrific atrocity. But I don’t like it one damn bit. BTW, you can effectively bump fire with a thick rubber band wrapped around the magazine well and on the trigger on an AR-15, while firing thru the sights from the shoulder.
If they do enact this ban, then any so called “compromise” should include repealing the 1986 Hughes Act which caused the prices of full auto weapons to skyrocket by making it impossible to register newly manufactured NFA firearms. There is NO REASON for a legally transferable M-16 to cost over 50,000 dollars. You can be assured that any such owner will be thoroughly vetted by the background check that would be required to purchase one.
One day hanging? Shouldn’t they spread it out and charge admission?
Hmmm. There seems to be no consequence for companies standing against the Liberal agenda...its almost like Liberals are out of power or something.
It was the correct business decision... lefties will get over it and they avoided him pissing off conservatives.
Yep, that’s all that I carry.
Well, iI’m sure the proggies are demanding booze be banned on cards, too, since there’s so many drunk driving deaths. Right?
