The NRA is afraid if congress were to legislatively ban bump stocks, they would ban a bunch of other things too, like light trigger pulls, etc. Who knows. That's why they wanted the BATFE to do it.
Remembering the sausage making called the legislative process. This post ^^ is 100% correct. Moderate (R)s would, in an attempt to appease (some would say get along I think we are beyond that) the Left, would actually ADD dumb stuff. Then, the Left would add egregious stuff. Some place in there would be funding totally unrelated to the topic,and the sausage is made. Then, the MissLeadership would say
'yes that's what we actually originally wanted' 'it was worse but we saved you' and , the POTUS would reluctantly sign it and say something perhaps like, ''this process was all wrong, I'll not sign something like this again.''
Yup, I am forced to agree, the NRA knows how Congress navigates rocky waters
