I can't leave y'all alone for a minute...
Appeasement is for chumps.
I see I'm gonna have to break that phrase down for some folk.
If you're being chased by a bear and you think "Gee, that bear looks hungry. Perhaps if I let him eat my pinky toe I can keep him from devouring the rest of me. It's not like I use my pinky toe that often anyway. Yeah, I'll just do that." then you're gonna die. The bear won't be satisfied with just dining upon your pinky toe, and you'll have put yourself in a position where it's much, much easier for the bear to eat the rest of you.
You'd think after all this time the concept would be taken to heart, but nope. In the calls to do "something" after the Las Vegas shooting it seems some gunowners and even the NRA are wanting to throw bump fire stocks under the bus.
I've seen comments here and there claiming that this ban on bumpfire
stocks is inevitable. That's a self fulfilling prediction. Keep telling
yourself you're defeated and you will be. Others have argued that this
isn't a hill they'd die on. I don't see why not though; are there better
hills anyplace at the moment? Or do they merely look at the grass and
scree and not think it aesthetically pleasant enough for risk, yet
not see that this hill is an encumbrance to the anti gunowners? That the
loss of this hill gives the enemy a firing position on our very homes?
Think it's just bump stocks the enemy wants? Hell, that's not even all
they're going after now.
