Adam Lanza Shot Victims at Close Range with Semi-Automatic Rifle

119. I agree.

Items I want to work on: Remove the Hughes Amendment, and extend the 1934 NFA to cover semi-auto rifles, and possibly handguns. This would be a game changer to keep guns out of bad actor's hands. MASSIVE change. Massive benefit. Reap enormous improvement.

There are other things. Gun owners have been asking for NICS to be made open/free access so private transfers could also perform background checks. We should do that. Or require all private transfer go through FFL's for background checks, and register them. That's cool. We can do that.


But on the bump fire, the BATFE bans stuff all the time. They confiscated a load of airsoft toys because they thought maybe parts of it could possibly be used in converting rifles to FA, so they took it all. They are the professionals, they are the experts, and they have no problem banning these things. They haven't banned that stock. So I consider that impartial recognition that it is a gimmick that doesn't really work, if your goal is to hit something.


We should probably focus on the best solution to cover the most problems. Registration is that piece. Things like bump fire are fringe issues that aren't really a problem, and will serve to fuel the hysterical opposition engine against ANY legislative action. That hysteria noise machine will be going full blast anyway, but the more silly the claims, the more likely we can overrule them.

Most americans will support registration. We can do this. I'm with you on that. I'd register mine in a heartbeat.
