The Threat is Real, very real.

[howl]

There is no need to give anti-gunners anything. We have compromised enough. They have to stop trotting out the same old song and dance every time and offer something else as a possible solution. They won't because that isn't the game. They run out the gun control nonsense and then blame the right when the ridiculous ideas don't go anywhere. Their end game is continued fundraising and time in office. If they get lucky and succeed in disarming the opposition, then so much the better.

The point that seems lost on so many of us is that it is not just the Ds that do this. The Rs play along in return for the same on other issues. And they wouldn't mind seeing us disarmed, either. You have only to look at what is going on in Catalonia to see where this can lead.

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.

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. Practically everyone at that concert was missed by the shooter. If he had used more effective means they would not have been.
