Many useful idiots here at Free Republic said that we had to be prepared to compromise on bump stocks as a “show of good faith” and a “willingness to compromise,” to avoid further infringements.....

Yeah, right.

[SkyPilot]

Vermont, Minnesota, Colorado - so many states passing or floating anti-gun bills and laws these days that I can't keep up.

Here is an example of when FR goes off the rails. Whenever a thread is posted talking about gun laws or gun control in a state that some posters absolutely hate (NY, CA, NJ, MA, CT, etc.), some posters act superior. They also act as if these states are not part of America, and these states don't have patriots, veterans, Christians, and pro-Constituttion citizens by the millions living there.

The sentiment of the boards is usually: "HA! Well F-%K that $_ithole state! HAHAHAHAHA!

What they don't realize is that they are laughing at the demise of the Constitution, and of their own rights (no matter what state they live in). Gun control is a like a cancer. It spreads, rapidly sometimes.

The Supreme Court, and other courts, are refusing to uphold our rights. The SC won't even hear most gun control cases. They punt on first down.

I think it's just a matter of time before a state bans guns outright, and the courts and the Federal government will do nothing to defend us.

[JudgemAll]

We should ban these terrorists who aim to suppress speech and carry out repression

And amazing the Fudds and sheeple act kike it is every day normal legit legislation

The weak response has emboldened them

[Chief901]

I an sure that every criminal will abide by the law and all violence will end. /s

[Politically Correct]

So it begins....

[OttawaFreeper]

So who’s the brain dead politic who introduced this abomination? As if the criminals are quaking in their boots over this.

[i_robot73]

Exactly the REASON for the Federal govt: to ensure the Rights of the People are upheld and protected.

Seems, when Magoo cares, only certain violations against Federal authority does Fedzilla care.

[antidisestablishment]

When they outlaw regular weapons, people will start looking at full-autos and other mods in a new light.

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

Everyone involved in submitting such a bill MUST be punished. Man, people, go to the source of who is introducing this stuff. Go after them. Now.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Won’t happen in MN.

[DownInFlames]

MN has a very active militia. This will be fun to watch. If you haven’t read the Constitution lately, do. The he 2nd amendment is very short. What time art of infringed don’t they understand?

[Hugh the Scot]

The only way this stops is when a cadre of citizens:

1.) Identify the sponsors of these bills
2.) Visit said sponsors in their offices or homes
3.) Drag them into the street and beat them bloody.

There is NO ACCOUNTABILITY for these totalitarian cretins. It’s too late. The lawyers who’ve been elected have already perverted the law to the point that there’s two sets of rules... One for them and one for you.

Even denying them their elected offices at the ballot box does no good. The law has already been subverted to pad their nests for life.

If there are no consequences to violating your rights, they will simply trample you underfoot.

We, at some point, have to get off our lazy asses and do something.

[momincombatboots]

Gosh next thing you know some leader will call for dismissal of due process and just take them.. o wait!

[Zathras]

There are a bunch of moderate RATS in MN who I have told that CA type laws are coming to MN and coming fast.
None of them believed me.
This should be very interesting to watch.

[fishnuts2]

The links work to read the sponsors and their bio’s. It makes it easy to contact them and I certainly will.

[READINABLUESTATE]

This doesn’t have a chance of passing. However it exposes the true agenda for all to see, the masks are off.

[PROCON]

This Ping List is for all things pertaining to the 2nd Amendment.

FReepmail me if you want to be added to or deleted from the list.

More 2nd Amendment related articles on FR's Bang List.

[Mouton]

They need publish the home address of any politician who votes for it and make them carry a gps monitor that feeds into a public access reporting site.

[JamesP81]

Everyone here who publicly said they were ok with bump stock bans owns some responsibility for this.

This is why you don’t give an inch. I’m sad much of FR wasn’t capable seeing that because we of all people should know better.

The trouble isn’t over even if this bill in MN is stopped. What’s the NRA to do now? If it continues to support Trump it demonstrates its political irrelevance. What happens then? If it doesn’t support Trump we get a grabber in office in 2020. What happens then?

This is why the people who said bump stocks were not the hill to die on were wrong and the NRA was wrong. “Oh we don’t want to spend political capital on a stupid toy!” Bzzzzt. Wrong. You threw away political capital trying to score points with people who would shove you into ovens in death camps if they had their way.

For all that people said that bump stocks were not the hill to die on, an awful lot of Americans in Florida, Vermont, and now maybe Minnesota are dying on that hill.

You all should’ve fought when it might’ve made a difference. Now we are going to claw and scratch to just stop the tide and reduce the damage. We will be damned lucky if we escape this with our political relevance intact.

I would say I’m sorry if I offended anyone but...well, I’m not.

The conservative tent is fairly large and encompasses a lot of issues. This only works if we support each other, and right now, the conservative movement’s friendship towards gun owners appears to be of a fair weather nature. Even among conservatives picking on 2A voters is socially acceptable.

There are a lot of very pro-2A people who’ve been saying that the GOP are not our allies and neither are most conservatives. So far, nothing has happened to disabuse the 2A people of that notion. Trump’s insistence on legislating bump stocks by executive fiat contrary to clear wording of federal law, as if he were some kind of king, is not helping.

There are some real cracks starting to show in the base and most of those are self inflicted. ***Stop trying to throw them a bone. It will not placate them, it will make them worse***

It’s very simple: if you don’t care about our issue we will STOP caring about yours. And then we shall all hang separately as Mr Franklin once said.

[Wizdum]

As gunowners, WE cannot pick and choose which battles we intend to fight. We must fight them all. Using the soap box, the ballot box and when all else fails, the cartridge box.

Compromise gets us nothing, and emboldens the antis to reach further.

The first state to adopt an abomination like this, is the last breath of a constitutional government.
