Bondi is a big problem. Was really hoping she would champion to repeal the NFA but good thing i didnt hold my breath.
Class 3 weapons would be more widely used if the average American could afford one.
Trump made some good choices for his cabinet, but bondi wasnt one of them. Im even losing faith in Patel.
Seh can’t fight every fight. Give her some slack. One does things they can be successful at, not romantic things…or you’ll waste your life.
If Trump were the authoritarian and fascist the left accuse him of, Bondi and Patel would run out of prison cells to put treasonous Americans in.
Your right she cant. When they say machine guns are not protected. That means any state can ban them. Not covered under the 2nd so not much of a legal standing for a gun collector.
Big fallout by saying something is not covered (on a whim) that used to be protected.
I cant afford a full auto but alot of you can, depending on state they now can ban it when before you could.
We got Alcatraz…lol
Pick your battles win enough of them you end up winning the war.
Depends on what battles your willing to lose on. 1st and 2nd amendments are the stepping stone for everything else. If you cant voice your opinion and defend yourself the rest dont really matter.
Yes, you dont need full auto to defend yourself… yet, but its a stepping stone. Ask folks in CO, CA , NY, jersey, etc how gun ownership is going in regards to semi’s. Getting rid of fulle auto is easy, a good lib lawyer can easily expand it to semi’s.
Rightings on the wall…
I’m devided on this topic. On one hand I think the government should uphold my 2A rights with no restrictions. On the other, and because there are a whole lot of leftists that have real power, having “legal” machine guns in the hands of gang-bangers taking out whole schools is not going to play well for anyone in the 2A community. Having been married for several decades, I know you can be happy, or you can be right – and those are often mutually exclusive.
I understand everything you said and agree. But I’m a realest like Gary406 said I’ve been married for decades Happily one thing I learned is to compromise no one is right 100% of the time or wrong. I’ve been carrying for 30ish years so I’m not new to it either or soft on the 2A but but if I have to give up a fully auto (machine gun) to keep my EDC so be it. I would say most on here are trust worthy with any weapon but I want it harder then hell for some nut job or gang banger to get their hands on one.
Much larger fish to fry. The only constant is change. Perfection is the enemy of progress, after all.
When the 2nd Amendment was written I could legally own a battleship that could lay waste to an entire city however I am now being told that a firearm that shoots more bullets than one with each trigger pull is a problem? Please, let’s go back to the original interpretation of the Constitution where citizens could own the exact same weaponry as the Government because the Government saved a ton of money by having citizens self armed with the weapons needed to protect their country.
You spend your life pushing that boulder uphill. Too many other things for people who want to accomplish something…to do that. Limited resources and all. This is maybe the largest difference red to blue.
I don’t own a machine gun.
If they were cheap, I still wouldn’t own one.
However, seems to me that they are protected by 2A and that seems pretty clear to me.
Some of you make a good point about the likelihood of winning this fight.
I kindly disagree with the logic of if I have to give up machine guns to keep my EDC… that seems like a slippery slope. If I could trust the government to let me keep my EDC I could accept that argument. But I don’t trust any government that much.
I agree that I want it harder for gangbangers to get full auto. But as Ive stated elsewhere it hasn’t worked with the war on drugs and we are seeing more and more crime committed with concerted Glocks turned full auto.
But what are the options? How many resources should we use up fighting this fight? I say backburner it and move on.
Well, since Im not using any of my own resources, I can’t legitimately argue your point. 
Just my opinion mind you, but if the expectation from this administration is that everything will be fixed overnight (or, even within the entire four year term) people will be sorely disappointed. You can’t heal decades of abuse in all facets of government in a single term. All you can do is prioritize your efforts, and the biggest fish to fry are addressing the defecit, stopping, then mitigating the effects of invading hoards, and rooting out the corruption in government. Anything after that is icing on the cake. I know another big push is to rescue the trafficed children. Progress is being made on all those fronts but you certainly won’t hear about their successes from the media. Restoring the rights of We The People necessitates the restoration of the strength of the Country to begin with. There is major triage going on right now.
I’ll bite. Where are the resources coming from?
I have no clue. Thats my point. I was agreeing with you.
People seem to have so much fight in them trying to get out these days… I’m amazed at the comments on Fbook and YT. It is like there are two worlds in the same space.
Fully auto firearms are near the bottom of my list of concerns.
