Many gun control activists who know a thing or two point to the N.F.A. as successfull gun control.
They fail to grasp that since its passage, and up to 1986's Firearm Owner's Protection Act,
no violent crime shad been committed with legally owned N.F.A. firearms.
Yet that didn't keep
this piece of scum from Midnight Riding an attachment to the F.O.P.A.
Which means that to gun-grabbers, even after successful gun control has been enacted and stood on its own record for 52 years, there's no such thing as "too much gun control."
The two violent crimes committed with legally owned machineguns came in 1988 and 1992, after the passage of the F.O.P.A. with it highly questionable (procedurally) Hughes Amendment.
To the antis, "compromise" means, "Shut up and do what you're told, you uppity, stupid peasant."
Never compromise with the antis.
On anything.
Don't surrender a single round of magazine capacity.
Don't surrender a single round of rate-of-fire.
Don't surrender a single material (plastics/plymenrs) used in the manufacture or construction of firearms.
Don't surrender a single cosmetic feature of those evil "assault weapons."
Don't surrender a single, solitary thing related to firearms to them, as they will cry, "Victory!" and come back again next year, and the year after that, and again and again until they get what they truly want: the repeal of the Second Amendment and the total disarmament of the American civilian population.
