Agree 100%!
Why give up anything. What's next? 20 or 30 round mags?
Are some of us willing to give those up too?
Because I'm not...and won't.
I'm so sick of buzz phrases. No one is "giving up" anything, but the reality is we could well see bump-stocks "taken away" because the votes are probably there. Wake up people and see what's happening!!!! Bloomberg and Hollywood are pouring money into this effort and the media is helping to the fullest extent. We've never had this level of opposition before, not ever. It's a campaign of lies and distortion, but it's very well funded and they are playing on the sympathy factor of kids getting killed.
If you really want to make a difference, then start recruiting NRA members every single day. The NRA better be 15 million strong soon, or this is only going to get worse.

Mr. Cotton, I really don't care much about bumpfire stocks. However, I am in the group who worries that they will use that term as a giant umbrella to stop simple modifications like match triggers, or even a different shaped trigger than the one the manufacturer installed at the factory. Besides joining pro-2A organizations such as the NRA, what specifically can we do as individuals to make sure that, if bumpfire stocks are banned, that it's limited in scope to those exact items, and those exact items only?
I seriously doubt the phrase "bump stock" will be used in any legislation, but if it is, it will be defined. The focus is on devices that can be applied to a semi-automatic rifle that will allow it to simulate a full-auto rifle, not better triggers for trigger jobs that improve accuracy. Certainly we must be ever watchful concerning any proposed legislation.
As to what people can do, there's only two things at this point. The most important is recruiting massive number of new NRA members! I cannot overstate this need. The power of the NRA is in the number of voters we can send to the polls. This is how we always defeat the Bloomberg/Soros/Hollywood money factory. The second thing we can do is call and write your Congressman and Senators and let them know you do not support gun control legislation, other than HR 38 (Fix NICS/National Reciprocity). The Parkland shooting was not the fault of the NRA or our 5+ million members. It was the fault of 1) the murderer; 2) the FBI; 3) cowardly Broward County Deputies, and 4) Broward County Sheriff Isreal.
