God forbid we have a thread to bring awareness to the issue.
If it's about supporting candidates that support the 2a,then let's make people aware of where politicians stand.

Not debating what you are saying. Yes, bring awareness to the issue. Yes, I.D. the people who are in support of our beliefs and those who are against them too. Yes, support candidates that support what we believe.
No on folks who seem to ignore the fact that the Government can interfere with the 2A and any other of the Bill of Rights, has already done so for decades, and the courts have backed the government in most cases. That is the reality of today so arguing the point that the Government 'can't' is mute.
So far no one has made a case that owning suppressors is a right under the 2A. Maybe that ought to be a start point but instead we get arguments over the power of the government when it is pretty apparent they surely can ban suppressors.
Then there is the question if President Trump can ban them at all. So far it seems LRRP52 believes he can't because they are already under the federal firearms act (?). I tend to believe LRRP52.
If President Trump can't ban them but tries, the next question becomes what we can do about it and on line petitions are one way but are pretty much ignored. So, suggest better ways.
And finally -- no one on any of these threads on the subject has named politicians who believe we should be able to own and use suppressors without government interference so we can support them. You haven't either.
What I am sick of seeing here is guys screaming about how the government can't, when the fact is the government can and does, and then provide no rational course of action we can take to protect what we believe are our 2A rights.
