I'm the thread killer?

Sebastian (and others) are noticing that the state of Alabama is making a change to NFA laws in that state, namely that SBR can now be owned. Now, this makes total sense, 'specially if you follow NFA goings-on. But my spidey sense goes off when folks start crediting the NRA for helping out class III owners.

Aeronathan points out that the original language of the bill was so shitty, that the NRA had to step in and correct it before it went to the senate. Great .... I applaud that they were paying attention.

But this is touted as the NRA 'helping' class III owners? Thanks, but no thanks.

Meanwhile, there are a handful of states where NFA weapons are illegal at the state level. Why is the NRA-ILA not agitating to legalize NFA weapons in those states. Why are they not pushing Michigan to legalize supressors, since machineguns are already legal there? Why are they not pressuring A-rated legislators in Illinois to allow class III firearms like 3/4 of the country already does? Why?

Because they don't care.

It is my belief that anything the NRA does that helps NFA owners is only superficial, and occurs only when to not help would make them look bad.

Remember, the NRA allowed machinegun owners to be sacrificed on the alter of pragmatism. Until they undo that, I will not forget.
