ATF has posted their proposed brace rules.

36k comments in just 5 days is significant. There were only 36k bump stock comments for the entire period.

Just commented and will continue to urge others to do so.

I saw that, I think that they are doing a decent job of pointing out the hypocrisy of this whole thing.

In December, we got 73,000 in five days…

In December, we got 73,000 in five days…

For what proposal?

For what proposal?

The first attempt of going after braces…

Thats because as a group, we are so stupid that we thought bumpstocks were a “necessary sacrifice”.

Unfortunately, the NRA suffered the same thinking. About as insulting as it gets for the NRA to call to regulate bump stocks claiming they function like machine guns after the Obama admin had repeatedly issued favorable rulings.

For those who might have forgotten:

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.

Only because I "talk" a lot about action but feel like there's not much I can actually do on these issues; I've been writing twice a day now to the NRA and NRA-ILA and will begin calling this afternoon imploring them to update their pages now that the comment section has been open since the 10th or so:

Our ILA pages need to be updated with the link and our 5 million members need to submit personal comments on the ATF "pistol brace" proposal. It's been open since the 10th and is only at about 60,000 comments. We should be over 4 million without a problem. It's past time that we, as the NRA, start throwing our weight around on EVERY anti-gun legislation, no matter how frivolous it might seem as giving even an inch is not acceptable. The slow boil that the anti-gun crowd is using on us is working and it has to stop. I implore you to push this out and express the importance to our members that it does matter and no new legislation will be tolerated. We always tout the fact that we have 5 million members but then we don't show up on these damn comment pages in numbers anywhere near this figure. It is inexcusable that we can't get millions of our members to take a moment and write a simple one paragraph opposing new regulations on any firearm related issue, most especially those that attack items already in common use.

I will get back after talking to someone on the phone to see what the response there will be...I mean come on, are we opposing anti-gun bullsh*t or are we just going to wait and whine about it after it happens...again?
