Consequences for noncompliance. That goes for manufacturers also.

Hillary is absolutely the person determined enough to make the change needed with weapon control in this country.
Addicted to their weapons & the NRA is the cartel at the top feeding the addict's need .

Military assault weapons are the choice of mass killers.
There's no damn reason for civilians to have them. They are designed to kill as many people as possible in a short amount of time possible

Gun owners and hunters should reject the NRA and they should start their own group to counter the NRA which has been co-opted by the gun industry and is being used as their propaganda arm.

what their members wanted but by what Gun manufacturers wanted. Even if it lost half it's membership it would still be a fully funded and wholly owned subsidiary of Smith and Wesson et al. It would still own the pols that it has bought and paid for!
