Are they manufactured before may of 1986? 922 (o) is pretty clear on that, no? They would have to repeal Hughes or offer an amnesty to redefine them as machineguns and move them to the NFA.
I'm assuming they can amend it, just like any act.

Well coincidentally opening the machinegun registry to “regulate “ bumpstocks would be common sense... but a bit late, these things wouldn’t exist if the registry were left open in the first placeI'm assuming they can amend it, just like any act.
Was the NRA really playing 4D chess? Are you sure? There is no doubt in your mind at all???
Looks to me like the NRA is selling out gun rights because they are only interested in saving bolt action rifles and pump shotguns. In my opinion, if they are not willing to protect ALL of the 2nd amendment, they they are not protecting any of it.
Then why has the NRA already filed a lawsuit in FL?
NRA files lawsuit saying Florida gun bill approved by Gov. Scott violates 2nd Amendment | Fox News
I can't find the actual suit yet, and the media is contradictory (shocking) and what all in the bill is being challenged...but I don't see anyone else stepping up yet.
“The Department of Justice has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget a notice of a proposed regulation to clarify that the National Firearms and Gun Control Act defines ‘machinegun’ to include bump stock type devices,” Attorney General Jeff Sessions said in a statement.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) submitted a notice of a regulation regarding the definition of "machinegun" in the National Firearms Act and Gun Control Act and proposing to include "bump stock type devices, and that federal law accordingly prohibits the possession, sale, or manufacture of such devices."

If fairness, from what we know now, worddoer was, I think, bemoaning the NRA's and the Trump administration's move on bump stocks primarily and the NRA suit in Florida appears to be concerned with the age limits.
I've seen it both ways in different media accounts, which is why I worded it as I did. They may/may not be challenging bump stocks. The notion they aren't protecting the 2nd isn't holding water either way. Who else is stepping up?
Look at all the anti-gun groups and their rallies.
They are all blaming the NRA, it tells you the NRA is doing a good job protecting your gun rights.
They never protest against any other 2A organization because other groups don't do as much to protect the second amendment.
All the politicians who would like to ban all evil looking guns like the AR-15 always blame the NRA for getting in the way.
That tells you they're doing their job.
See? "Stop giving money to the NRA so that we can pass new laws to ban your guns".
It's what that picture is clearly saying.
Well, **** the people who have them now.
If this goes through, his supporters (or those who voted for him) will be in a rock and a hard place. You've stated before, like many others, you wouldn't vote for the most of the alternatives, coming from the Democrats... I suspect this won't change much, in terms of support.
Not really a secret.I'm always amused at the claims that the NRA buys legislation with big money. While none of us will ever really know the rankings of pay to play in dc because of all the big law/lobby firms doing what they get paid to do quietly, I would imagine that NRA "money" is way down the list. Organized votes on a single issue are where it's dc strength lies.

That doesn't mean a whole lot really. The NRA is just the boogieman for this issue. It's the most well-known, and probably the easiest to fashion into a straw monster. Being bashed by anti-gun zealots isn't strong evidence that the NRA is doing what gun owners want it to do. The anti-gun zealots constantly over-report the NRA's money and influence. They claim it's the manufacturers' money that goes into the NRA's efforts to stifle gun control efforts.

If we end up with gun control via EO, and Trump signs an AWB, there’s nonway in hell I’m voting for that mother****er again. I don’t vote for anti-gun zealots.
