The Threat is Real, very real.

Throwing away bump stocks changes the narrative back to the idea that guns are somehow part of the problem. We have been winning by making obvious the facts and that guns are not the problem. That should be the course. I really hope NRA isn't shooting themselves in the foot with this thing. The great influx of membership and money may not come if they side with anti-gunners.

It's already starting to backfire on them. I was just on arfcom, and a number of people there said they had cancelled their NRA memberships.

There have also been gun businesses which have stopped selling bumpfire stocks, and some YouTube gun people like hickok45 who've spoken out against these stocks.

I really think Gun Owner of America has taken the correct approach. Point out that guns are not the issue and that much more effective weapons are used in the absence of firearms.

With 58 killied and 500+ wounded, somehow I doubt that John Q. Public is going to be convinced guns are not the issue.
