This is horse**** and needs to be fought vigorously in court. Seat Kavanaugh and run it up to SCOTUS.
Its almost like he isn't really a full 2A*...
Huh. I thought Trump wasn't really trying to get this done and it was some "push it until everyone forgets it 3D chess" stuff. I know, "But Hillary..."
It's a small loss, but it's a loss none the less, and frankly it's one that's harder to fight because the person pushing it isn't "them." I wonder how much louder the outcry and how much stronger the push back would be if But Hillary was the one signing it. Worse, it's a pointless loss, and for no offsetting gain. No movement on suppressors, for example. No movement on national reciprocity.
Everytime something happens and "common sense" gun measures are in the air, everytime they start calling for banning "assault weapons", and you hear/read people go on about full autos already being illegal or people claim no one is calling for making machine guns legal, it further cements the idea that these types of guns should be regulated as they are. We all probably know people, people that are otherwise pretty good on the 2A, that are in agreement with keeping full auto guns out of average peoples' hands.
I realize there are times when we should be wise in picking our fights but in my observations, it appears a ever widening consensus that full autos are justifiably regulated as they are.

I cannot see any modern politician, regardless of party, adopting deregulation of full automatic firearms as part of his or her campaign platform.

Nobody needs a firearm muffler, outright ban them, trade them for six guns.It doesn't need to be a platform issue. It can be a target of opportunity.
This bumpstock issue is a perfect example. Trade bumpstocks as auto-fire devices for suppressors not being on the naughty list.
Sure, some people will get ticked off, but incrementalism works.
Shutcho mouth!!!
