After having read a scanned image of the regulation, the ATF's ruling is laser-targeted on bump stocks and not any other mechanism, although it has worrying language regarding a specific interpretation of 'single pull' (this however is unlikely to stand in court, because the NFA uses 'single...

(Reposting from a thread in Activism) First off, let me just say that like I HOPE most members here, I oppose the Democrat-headed proposal to outright add the terror watchlist to the prohibited persons category, and I also oppose the Republican-headed proposal to apply the terror watchlist to...

First off, let me just say that like I HOPE most members here, I oppose the Democrat-headed proposal to outright add the terror watchlist to the prohibited persons category, and I also oppose the Republican-headed proposal to apply the terror watchlist to the existing 3-day delay standard...

I'm going to break with the crowd slightly, given my opinion is that a carry gun along with a valid CCW (which you've stated that you have) is right up there with a reliable means of transportation. I just feel it's one of life's necessities and it comes right after a car for transportation and...

Obama said it that way. The mainstream media bought it that way. Still doesn't make it so in reality.

There's a big headline floating around the mainstream news websites. 'ATF reports all guns in San Bernardino purchased legally.' The VERY SAME ARTICLE says that the ATF says that TWO of the four guns were purchased by someone under investigation, which makes it very clear that they weren't...

It's not an issue of anti-police rhetoric, it's an issue of observing and recognizing history. In many cases, rather recent history, in some cases not as recent, but still relevant. About 2 million people were slaughtered by their government in Cambodia, and it wasn't because they were carrying...

I actually don't doubt that they're discontinuing these lines based on sales instead of politics. Wal-Mart uses a system of revenue per square foot of floor space to decide what products to carry, so there's two problems with the MSR market AND related accessories. First: There's no profits to...

Well, I say this every time someone asks if a gun interests me, just so we're clear on my perspective. There isn't a gun on the planet that I wouldn't buy if given the chance. There is not a gun that has been made, is being made, or will ever be made that I would absolutely never purchase...

I'll throw in the CZ vz38 just because I hadn't seen it mentioned yet.

Okay, we got a basic plan (spread the word and encourage people to send opposing comments), we have some basic recommendations on how to approach and inform people (focus on the 1st amendment issue, don't strain the credibility of the threat by telling uninformed gun owners that the sky is...

I'm going to toss in some precedent information as well, that could be used in the content of comments. From defensetradelaw.com So the application of ITAR to restrict protected speech has already been struck down in the past. Yet they still attempt to codify it to further restrict speech now.

I would say the list of potential impacts is a great starting point. The argument based on those impacts should focus on how it is undeniably a chilling effect on protected speech. In fact, I would find it hard to see how it's not an outright direct restriction on free, protected speech.

Agreed. We need to get enough of a plan together to move this to Activism. I don't think Fox News is going to do the legwork for us like they did with the M855, I saw a mention of this at the bottom of their front page for one day, and then it was gone. We need to start the legwork right now.

Barnbwt, it seems to me you're kinda in the driver's seat here on the letters although Cee Zee might make that task a little easier for you. While we're all working on the actual comment letters, I'm going to spread some awareness about this (as a case of internet censorship) amongst non-gun...
