Duplicitous Bedfellows: Trump Administration and Anti-Gun Organizations

Hi,

I haven't read all the linked pages in that article but it sounds like the author is upset that this administration hasn't moved far enough or fast enough in the direction of a 2A free-for-all, as per the Constitution. I think he is, and we all should be, upset that the Democrat "Parliamentarian", Elizabeth MacDonough, has so much unelected power over legislation. Thune should have replaced her immediately.

"How is it that an unelected swamp bureaucrat, who was appointed by Harry Reid over a decade ago, gets to decide what can and cannot go in President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill? The Senate Parliamentarian is not elected. She is not accountable to the American people. Yet she holds veto power over legislation supported by millions of voters."

I didn't realize the NFA is buried in the tax code and that's how it skirts around the 2A. The author is upset because changes in the tax stamps for silencers and such can be undone in the next unfriendly administration. Yes, that is concerning. I'll need to educate myself more to really appreciate what's going on here, and see who offers up the proper legislative fix.


Thank you for your indulgence,

Successful negotiations happen when both sides of the table get something. You know full well that no bill that eliminates ATF and all firearm regulation is going to make it to the President's desk. The Supreme Court needs to resolve the plethora of 2A cases in the pipeline before legislation is going to move forward and stick. Incrementally, I think eliminating the tax on SBR's and suppressors is a step forward. It has taken since 1968 and before to create the legal morass of gun regulation and it's not getting unscrewed over night. One thing is preying on everyone's mind. How do you keep firearms out of the hands of homicidal maniacs, violent criminals, and terrorists, without penalizing law abiding citizens? It's a tough nut to crack.

This.

The BBB was restricted to budget terms that's why a bunch of non-budget stuff had to be deleted.

BUT, since then the Repubs should have moved on non-budget issues, which includes 2A issues, which they haven't considering they still have two rescission cards in the deck.

loose, and apparently ignorant enough not to understand how things work. Mustn't have had any Govt. civics class in public school.

All his/her/its articles are retreads of the previous one(s). Cut & Paste more-of-the same.

I'm done with Firearms News since Fortier & Sweeny are the only two normal folks there, and the publication is a shadow of it's former self.
