Hi-capacity magazine bans? They are definitely showing their colors, and they are not Red, White, and Blue. Non-believers? I just don't know about our populace anymore.
And now they go after pistol braces

As a collective firearms community the DTOM/Shall Not be Infringed/hunting/fudd/LARPers/etc groups are far too eager to eat their own. Each group has their baby that is dear to them and only when their baby is called ugly does their neck hair bristle.
"I thought bumpstocks were stupid anyway"
"Well they were asking for for it by skirting the law with those braces, they should just pay the $200 for an SBR"
"No body needs a lightning link anyway"
"Who the hell needs 30 rds to hit anything anyway"
and my favorite when any gun control measure was introduced "You knew that was coming". So very helpful.
Comments like these only serve to fracture and divide the firearms community. Trying to stop infringements such as the NFA and GCA are in vain because the each group is too busy saying, "at least it's not MY baby!" or other such nonsense.
If we don't align that every infringement is actually an infringement, then as a community, there will seldom if ever be enough support to:
he they can handle with confidence and precision or that a woman who can have a lighter centerfire firearm to defender herself with? The NFA has long passed it's usefulness and the ATF is making it their business to reinterpret the laws, which is NOT the purview of the executive branch of government.
Posting "do not comply" and other such battle yells on the interwebs while a rallying cry, will do nothing. Write your congress critters and reps to support and/or propose bills which will move the needle back in the direction of pro-2A. FPC and GOA both have draft letters which you can edit and send to your reps. Do not use profanity or name calling, simply use that opportunity, please. This fight doesn't end here and if we don't support each other, it won't be long until they call your baby ugly.

If we don't align that every infringement is actually an infringement, then as a community, there will seldom if ever be enough support to:
- elect officials that support a collective 2A positive stance
- fund and support lawsuits and political actions to repeal the NFA and get case precedents against the current and past ATF shenanigans

My baby ain't ugly so don't try to drag me into your fight. Makes sense to me. Very well stated. To avoid Apache helicopters and maintain our 2nd Amendment rights we had better start letting the socialist minority (congress critters) that is taking over our government that we as a nation are not going to allow them to take ANY of our rights away. They are going to succeed on some fronts because the uninformed public has voted in a whole tribe of socialist lefties, and we are going to fight even harder to put people in office that will resend these unconstitutional mandates. And having an unelected ATF making our laws is unacceptable.

The BATFE has withdrawn their guidance notice after receiving about 67K comments thus far. This is a temporary victory in that the firearms community prevented further transgressions against 2A rights.

It may be and we'll have to show even more resistance to it the next time. This is the second time commenting has worked (the first with the potential ban to M855 ammunition). Failure to comment and make our opinions known resulted in the ban to import 7N6 ammo (5.45x39).
The fight is never over.
