Unless his dementia is causing him to actually do good things. In which case, he's a lot further gone than we thought...

The Gun Owners of America said they will file a challenge in court. I would expect others to jump on-board as well.

The cluster-phuck they are facing from Mueller...

Let's NOT fall for it!

Nor are the Dems in the House such as Adam Schiff.

When Mueller slides down his chimney with a bag of "good clean" coal, he's hoping for some sympathy.

There's a rough timeline here :

It does seem awfully slow, but I don't know if it's atypical.

For the upcoming Make America Great Again civil war.

This is the GOP's best?

How about Assault Weapons Ban + Universal Background Checks?

Go Bold!

And this is one thing I will applaud them on.

But still - fuck the NRA!

Think the NRA will ever utter that sentiment?

Here's the official ATF wording for it btw.

BUT! Someone remind who was it that was going to TAKE our guns and gun rights.

The rubes have been had again.

The only place where it makes sense to use it was out of that Las Vegas hotel window. Why would anyone want to shoot his rifle faster with less accuracy? It's no good for target practice.

It's like a Slinky, it was a piece of shit. I could never get it to make it go the whole way down the stairs. A Slinky never helped kill anyone though.

There's a reason the military will never go back to semi-auto only.

Speaking as a veteran (Good Conduct Medal 3rd Award - I got out two months before I would have received my 4th), there is absolutely no reason for a civilian to own a full-auto weapon.

Your comment:

" It's no good for target practice. "

An irrelevant statement as accuracy isn't the goal of auto fire or near auto fire now is it?

Maybe you could explain why auto fire is a good thing to have in certain situations?

Let's say I'm trying to move an infantry squad to contact. It'll work much better if I don't have the enemy killing us while we're trying to kill them...so I have my squad machine gunner fire his M249 (which only fires full auto) over the squad's head in the direction of the enemy. This will cause them to take cover and either not fire back at all, or fire erratically in hopes of causing us to take cover too.

If we're on the receiving end of an enemy assault, my M249 gunner will be able to kill them in greater quantities than my troops firing singles would be able to.

Now understand: I absolutely LOVE to fire full auto. It is the most fun thing you can do in the Army. It's also something that should stay in the Army.

Here's a post of mine from back in 2013:

The video is no longer available nor does the link work.

Edit: forgot to say your post was excellent.

I was only qualified with the M-14 June 1964. On full auto you were off target after 5 rounds at most.

handing out Russian money in Washington.

The NRA is no longer as valuable to Putin or tRump, nor it can it readily resist.

I'm all in favor of banning bump stocks, but that's not the problem.

... they are losing their damn minds. Many crying TYRANNY and saying that they will support a primary challenge against Trump.

Quite a self-goal there.

The NRA is on the ropes with legal costs up the wazoo.
They're hiding in the long grass.
That only leaves the full-fledged yahoos scattered throughout the land.
Not even a voting bloc.

Simply trump, trying to fake rational behavior...
