Brother - it pretty much IS. Free suppressors and Short-barreled anything in the process to approve "Semi-Auto License" laws.
That article spells it out. Shiit, it's like having a license to buy whatever you want, ANY semi-auto pistol or rifle, ANY suppressor, ANY short-barreled-whatever... Just pass the background check, with fingerprints, picture, paperwork packet. BAM! Get your license.
You already did that once - to get at least one suppressor.
What's the difference?
I'll tell you what the difference is, right here. You think that Parkland fuk would have been approved to have a suppressor, or SBR? You think that Waffle House fuk would have passed those same checks? Fuk no, they wouldn't have.
THIS is a way to get into the "mental" side of it for semi-auto firearms, without getting into HIPPA bullshiit.
"Oh, sorry, you didn't pass. You don't get your semi-auto license. However, you can appeal here..."
You guys aren't looking into everything in that article. This is a win for us all, looks like a "compromise" to the gun grabbers, and doesn't affect any - ANY - legal gun owner. In fact, it give legal gun owners an easy way to legally obtain NFA items...
You guys can't cling to the "NOT ONE MORE INCH!!!" mentality into the future, and not think that it's gonna backfire. It will. It could have already, but we got lucky with The Donald. Otherwise, it would have already been gone. The "not one more inch" mentality of zero compromise won't last, in the future, once it's Dem-controlled everything. Felons. All of us. As soon as those elections are over.
Call me the Harbinger of Death, call me an idiot, call me whatever you want. The very next time that Dems control everything, you'll be calling me a fucking prophet, for seeing this shiit before it happened.
"Not one more inch" isn't going to solve this shiit, so those on that bandwagon better figure out a plan. That zero-tolerance attitude is gonna backfire.
This article linked in the first post is a brilliant plan, to defeat that shiit forever.
If "forever" comes, and they eventually want to come for everything, even those with the "Semi-Auto LIcense," then it won't matter anyway. The revolution would have already been going.
