Repeal the NFA petition

[Car Ramrod]

It's amazing with the millions of gun owners in the US that we can't even muster a measly 100,000 signatures on an online petition.

If this were for building the death star or making it mandatory for cats to wear purple bow ties it would be signed in no time...

I wonder if it's been posted on arfcom or calguns too.

Yup, pretty unreal.

64k. Got couple of my coworkers signed yesterday, too.

I remember a lot of the MG owners don't want to repeal the NFA because of their "investment" would lose value.

 

[snorko]

Signed both. Keep pushing your friends and family to sign.

I signed at least 2 weeks ago and pimped the hell out of the link as well. Crazy it's taken this long and we still aren't at 100k.

Tim's Youtube Military Arms Channel account has 524,XXX subscribers. His followers alone should be able to get it to the 100k mark without issue. I don't understand this. I never understand this. They can get 100s of thousands of people to march around downtown with nothing on but a rainbow flag, but you can't get the millions of gun owners in the US to put forth the simplest of efforts.

Whip people into a frenzy with skewed statistics, half truths and crazy promises, throw in a few celebrity mouthpieces and the promise of nudity and yes, you can easily get several hundred thousand peole parading around yelling obscenities and staring at bare breasts.

The problem is 'our side' is using truth and proper statistics without the smattering of fear mongering and identity politics the other side uses.

It's the same, no matter what the issue is. Petitions, letters, marches, gatherings, et al. It would seem, in my opinion, that most gun owners are either lazy or believe someone else will do it, so they don't need to; they are just one person, afterall. What difference can one person make?

What difference can one person make?

Ask that question to John Wilkes Booth, James Earl Ray, Lee Harvey Oswald, Mother Theresa, Madame Curie, Albert Einstein and so on. While this is an extreme example it does show the effect of a single person. I agree that people are inherently lazy and think someone else will do it. Sadly it is the few who actually get anything accomplished.

Saw the petition for the Hughes Amendment wasn't getting much love.

It sure isn't, but I think that most people don't know about it. I can't believe that neither have reached 100k yet. It is crazy, and almost as if everyone has fallen back a sleep.

a lot of gun owners are lazy or disconnected. We need to be more active as a group. The whiners will always cry and be active.

Nope, and it's not going to. No politician is going to vote to make select fire weapons legal again.

 

[Sling10mm]

Well, for what it is worth the petition to repeal the NFA has reached 100,000+ signatures.

 

[Sling10mm]

Select fire weapons are already legal, so wouldn't repealing the Hughes Amendment just mean that many more would be available on the market, but would still require going through the process of acquiring them under the NFA?

Both signed... NFA one broke 100K.

Thanks for getting the word out to INGO, I signed both about a week ago but have been to busy to be on here much.
