Yes, But they put an American company out of business and American workers out of a job ( Slidefire ).....And how much of those donations are from people supporting and pushing the NRA to keep ( infringing ) on the 2nd Amendment ? If this keeps up the NRA will be supporting that all WE can own are Muskets......I do not support the NRA since they sided with the anti-gun crowd. The NRA should have fought to the death over Slidefire stocks, A gun item approved by the ATF and DOJ, Obama's ATF and DOJ signed off on several new Slidefire patents while Obama was in office. Trump fell for popular opinion and is 100% wrong. The next popular opinion decision may be to take every gun accessory off the market.....what's even funnier is that the Binary triggers and other parts that can increase rate of fire are not being shutdown ( yet )....Funny how people get tunnel vision over something when there is 50 other things that accomplish the same thing...The NRA will never get a penny from me, I will spend my money on everything the NRA wants to take from me...at what point will you say, Hey, The NRA is helping take more than they are trying to save ?

that is your choice,but just give me one good reason why we need bump stocks,,,,other than you want one............................

IT is not your decision on what I can or cannot own, Who gave you the Right to decide for me or anyone else ?.....do you not have things that you WANT ? The 2nd Amendment has NO restrictions other than what corrupt politicians and the NRA have put on it....The RIGHT of the people to bear Arms, shall not be Infringed....IF you want to infringe that Right ? then you are part of the problem. No one needs a 700HP Corvette, BUT you have the Right to own one IF you want it.....You cannot say you support the 2nd Amendment and then say you are for restrictions....that is being a hypocrite....

Wanting something is reason enough. Besides, who is (or should be) deciding what we should have, or should not have? Why have a 30 rd mag, or 20 rd, or 10, 5 rd magazine's when one or 2 shots will do? So some idiot used a bump stock to shoot a bunch of people. Using that kind of reasoning, shouldn't we ban anything that evil people use to kill innocent people with? No, that sounds too much like Europe.

wanting something,,,,,lets go there,,,,you are at the bar you have already had more than you should but you keep drinking and on the way home you get pulled over by a cop,,,in your way of thinking it was none of that cops business that you were all over the road,because you wanted those drinks,,,now the law is there to protect people from the drunken a-holes on the road

but lets get rid of all the laws you can do what ever you want there is no LAW ,you can drink until your stupid you can rape murder or rob whenever you feel like it,,,,now just how would you feel about that,,,especially if you or a family member was a victim

 

[user 6493]

what a lot of you fail to see is Laws are there to protect us,,and most anything is fine by me in moderation and common sense ,but when it comes to the 2nd Amendment common sense is thrown out the window by far to many of us,..

Now your getting a little too far out there in Left field GG. Trying to compare a rifle stock to drunk driving and rape is just nuts. Not all of us need a nanny government to decide what's good for us, but apparently some do. Just look what that all knowing, all caring nanny government has done to the citizens of the UK. Maybe there are some people who think the US should have a Draconian form of government in the US too.
I just don't understand the "banning" mentally of some people. Bans have never stopped evil people from doing bad things. But then I guess you'll be ok when they ban high capacity magazine's, then semi autos, short barrel shotguns and then require registration for what's left. After all, it would be for your own good since some people might be inclined to do something bad.

 

[Psalm7]

If the bumpstocks and such gadgets are banned the NRA didn't do or even have the ability to ban anything . The ATF can do that without a bill or law .

The NRA supported banning Bumpfire stocks, they made it clear they would mount no opposition....

What Laws protect you ? How long has Murder, Rape, Robbery and such been Illegal ? and yet you could be Murdered, Raped or Robbed and none of those Laws did anything to protect you......The 2nd Amendment is the only true Right that can at least give you a chance against such crimes....No one on this Earth has the Right to take my self preservation away from me one piece at a time....The NRA IMO is the enemy, they are proving it more and more.....

 

[Psalm7]

I want the NRA to have lobbyists all over DCand every State capital beating the crap out of the Folks in Office . If it were not for the NRA We would have to go to the Government and apply for a permit to begin the process of obtaining Our Government approved field grade firearm . All these NRA bashing so called shooters have done nothing to keep big Gov out of the 2nd amendment and probably care nothing for it . The NRA is meant to be political and thats where They are effective . If They set up a shooting range or send out shooting guides thats great but Washington DC is where We need Them .

You are twisting words , as I recall the only comments about bump stocks from the NRA was they should be looked at .

Go to a search engine and type in....NRA position on bumpfire stocks..........all you need to know on NRA position.....if that is not enough proof that the NRA folded ? I don't know what is.....

From NRA website, see the sentence in double brackets [[ ]]

FAIRFAX, VA) - The National Rifle Association today issued the following statement:

"In the aftermath of the evil and senseless attack in Las Vegas, the American people are looking for answers as to how future tragedies can be prevented. Unfortunately, the first response from some politicians has been to call for more gun control. Banning guns from law-abiding Americans based on the criminal act of a madman will do nothing to prevent future attacks. This is a fact that has been proven time and again in countries across the world. In Las Vegas, reports indicate that certain devices were used to modify the firearms involved. Despite the fact that the Obama administration approved the sale of bump fire stocks on at least two occasions, the National Rifle Association is calling on the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) to immediately review whether these devices comply with federal law. [[The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semi-automatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations.]] In an increasingly dangerous world, the NRA remains focused on our mission: strengthening Americans' Second Amendment freedom to defend themselves, their families and their communities. To that end, on behalf of our five million members across the country, we urge Congress to pass National Right-to-Carry reciprocity, which will allow law-abiding Americans to defend themselves and their families from acts of violence."

I think the difference would be law abiding citizens versus non-law abiding citizens. People who do not endanger others should be able to have what they want. It is people who DO endanger others that shouldn't.

YETI Adds Insult to Injury
https://www.nraila.org/articles/20180424/alert-yeti-adds-insult-to-injury

If it wasn’t bad enough that YETI dropped The NRA Foundation as a client, now they’re calling us liars because we informed our members and friends of their actions.

The NRA Foundation has over 1,100 “Friends of NRA Committees” around the country. These committees host banquets and auctions that are attended by hundreds of thousands of guests each year. These events raise funds to support charitable causes and programs. The NRA Foundation supports the needs of youth programs for education, safety and training, as well as law enforcement needs, shooting ranges and conservation programs.

For many years we have purchased coolers from YETI for our auctions. We have auctioned off many thousands of YETI coolers each year. YETI recently dropped The NRA Foundation as a client. Not only would they not take our orders for more coolers, they forced us to cancel orders already in the system that they said they would not fill.

Three days after we notified you of YETI’s decision to drop The NRA Foundation, YETI issued their prepared statement in which they admit they dropped us but claim they simply eliminated the discount program and dropped other (unnamed) organizations as well. That’s news to us.

Perhaps the people writing YETI’s damage control statements are not talking to the people who enforced YETI’s decisions and refused our orders. We had even offered the YETI Roadie in one of our sponsorship levels for 2018 – which we’ve had to cancel.
We told you the truth.

YETI’s attempts at damage control is to say our statement is not accurate. Shame on you again YETI. You know you made a mistake. A big one. Now you must live with your mistake.

I had the feeling that Yeti's response was pure CYA bovine feces.

Go to a search engine and type in....NRA position on bumpfire stocks..........all you need to know on NRA position.....if that is not enough proof that the NRA folded ? I don't know what is.....

The NRA's posistion on bump stocks is on the NRA site . Im not reading all the goof balls on Google . Anyone with 2 brain cells knows what the NRA has done for firearm owners inthe U.S.A . The 2nd Amendment would have been turned into something like European gun laws decades ago without the NRA . They stood up for defensive firearm ownership decades ago when any other gun group would have been happy to settle with a promise not to touch their sporting arms . Many shooters today would take that deal but NRA Members are fighting today while the talking heads that say We dont need them will sale the 2nd Amendment to the liberals without knowing They did so .

 

[Otterbatcat]

Folks in the circles that I regularly participate in, always thought bump stocks were more like a gadget or toy for fun. Rapid fire and ammo waste from a semi-auto can be achieved without using the device in this discussion. Therefore, I can understand why the NRA wouldn't waste valuable resources defending the RIGHT to own that particular accessory.

I thought it was a gadget toy way before Vegas happened, and I still do today.

 

[drt4lfe]

It does not matter if it is a gadget or not, that is not the point......if you don't see that ? then you are not Pro 2nd Amendment....

 

[drt4lfe]

In Las Vegas, reports indicate that certain devices were used to modify the firearms involved. Despite the fact that the Obama administration approved the sale of bump fire stocks on at least two occasions, the National Rifle Association is calling on the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) to immediately review whether these devices comply with federal law.

The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semi-automatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations.

The above is from the NRA and it cleary shows the NRA was for the ban.....

 

[drt4lfe]

An NRA spokeswoman did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the group’s shooting range in Fairfax, Virginia. Sources familiar with the range confirmed that bump stocks are banned there.

The NRA on Thursday further distanced itself from the devices, calling for additional regulation of bump fire stocks while also warning that more sweeping gun bans “will do nothing to prevent future attacks.

again, the NRA did nothing against the ban.....what will they knuckle under on next time ? and the next ?

 

[drt4lfe]

the only opposition the NRA has yielded is on the Feinstein Bill that also includes other gun items ( triggers and other items that increase rate of fire ) along with bumpfire stocks....that opposition has been almost nothing, A Letter sent to Congress......big deal....
