How fast does your car go? Does it exceed the maximum speed limit? Do you a car that goes that fast?

How Big is your house? I bet you don't ned a house that size?

Fortunately, our country isn't a needs based society.
Please don't feed the troll.
Too much fun not to. :mrgreen:
You guys are pretty tough on a new guy who seems to be agreeing with y'all. He wasn't trolling just agreeing. Sometimes it's a good idea to think and reread before we comment.
You apparently didn't see his now deleted post in the meme thread. He wasn't agreeing, he was trying to educate the poor gun nuts.
I was wrong. I saw the :iagree: icon and assumed he was a newbie, making an awkward post agreeing with every one. I looked like it was his first post. What I didn't notice is that he gave his location as everytown dot org. Please accept my humble apologies for jumping the gun.

The Annoyed Man wrote: Fri Mar 08, 2019 1:49 pm My personal prediction is that bumpfire stocks will still end up being banned - simply because even most of the GOP views an “armed and insolent” population as a threat to their hold on power. So if the Michigan court finds in favor of the plaintiffs, ATF attorneys will petition SCOTUS for a hearing. If SCOTUS strikes down the ATF’s attempt to rewrite the meaning of “machinegun” in the law, it will be on the grounds that ATF overstepped into Congress’s privileges. At that point, Congress will undoubtedly make bumpstocks illegal by legislatively adding them to the NFA.

The GOP has amply demonstrated, since 2016, that they will not save us from the abuses and overreaches by gov’t. I submit immigration and Obamacare as two obvious examples. Like democrats, they view us as their beasts of the fields to be managed, and they are more inclined to “benevolently save us from ourselves” than to proactively protect our liberties. Why? Because actually honoring our liberties in the breach means fewer DC cocktail party invitations. And veto-proof majority in Congress or not, it seems VERY unlikely that Trump would or could spend any of his dwindling political capital on keeping bumpstocks legal. He’s so beset on all sides by democrats and “principled” republicans, that he won’t have the energy or resources to fight off restrictions on bumpstocks.
And this is why the NRA won't only not into the fight, but actually seems to support restricting bumpstocks.
