When is the NRA gonna get of it's ass and get rid of the unconstitutional NFA?
Do they even have a plan for this? Are they just a bunch of fudds using their pre-1986 machine guns as investments? Are they even a serious organization or just a virtue-signaling circle jerk?

Because the second amendment rights doesn't cover outside weapons from outside countries
The second amendment rights guarantees the right to possess and use firearms WITHIN the United States and any importation bans on firearms has no effect on the rights of owning guns in the United States nor does it interferes with the second amendment rights because it isn't directly effecting our rights to own guns
It's only effecting the importation of guns into the United States and besides common sense on this

They're not perfect, but they're not terrible either. In any case, they're the best we have right now.
>>29500445
just because the second amendment doesn't guarantee the right to imported weapons doesn't mean a lobbying organization shouldn't work to change a law to be better for its members
also, please learn the difference between "effecting" and "affecting." its affecting the credibility of your post, which wasn't very high to begin with
Just saying, there are much more pressing matters in national and statewide gun politics. There are plenty of easier to achieve goals then removing the NFA.
>>29500196
Well the NRA cannot get rid of the NFA. Congress or the SCOTUS can, however.
I swear, half of you are just as retarded as the anti-gunners.
>>29500196
Buzzword bingo here.
>fudds with machine guns
>>29500445
Import bans do have an effect as they drive up the cost of gun ownership. It is painfully similar to poll taxes.
>>29500523
The problem is that most NRA members are republicans. The GOP have become increasingly in favor of tariffs as the party has subsumed the white blue collar workers who were driven away by the Democrats social stances. As a result, we are pretty close to having no parties in Washington who support gun imports.

It is a challenging time for politics in the US. I am a big believer in limited government intervention into the lives of citizens and a strong national defense and the two major parties are busy arguing over who gets to be authoritarian in a given area.

>achieve nothing
Besides OC Texas, helping to apply pressure to un-fuck Virginia, backing several constitutional carry bills, and organizing the stand against the AWB after Sandy hook.
Right now the biggest threat to gun rights isn't Obama trying to pass another AWB, it's a gun grabbing court justice, or someone like Clinton getting elected. They do a lot of work at the state level you don't see on the national stage. They're also backing the hearing protection act.
The NRA-ILA is also a separate organization from the NRA proper, the NRA does training and safety classes, the ILA lobbies. They have to share limited funding.
And with that limited funding they have to slowly push us back up the slippery slope. If they just come out and say "we wanna repeal the NFA," there will be as much backlash as a "ban all guns forever" bill. So they have to work against the antis, inch by inch.
>muh goa never compromised.
When's the last time the GOA was relevant in any way? When's the last time Shillary called the GOA a terrorist organization? They haven't compromised because they don't have the clout to force a compromise.
>>29500196
Getting rid of the NFA is an unrealistic goal.
If you think otherwise, you're delusional. The NRA needs to keep doing their gun-ACLU thing, and pick and choose court cases to see more pro-gun interpretations make their way into caselaw.

Federalist Papers No.29
>"...but if circumstances should at any time oblige the government to form an army of any magnitude that army can never be formidable to the liberties of the people while there is a large body of citizens, little, if at all, inferior to them in discipline and the use of arms, who stand ready to defend their own rights and those of their fellow-citizens. This appears to me the only substitute that can be devised for a standing army, and the best possible security against it, if it should exist.''
>Little more can reasonably be aimed at, with respect to the people at large, than to have them properly armed and equipped
Founding Fathers intended for the people of America to be as equally equipped as a standing army in order to preserve liberty. Nuclear weapons are not used by a standing army to enforce martial law, etc., but automatic weapons are.

I think it does, but that point aside, it has had a very positive effect on the gun industry's political power.
We have US companies now manufacturing AK variants. These companies employ US citizens, make and source domestically for several parts, and contribute to local economies. We can't get many cheap guns from overseas, but the ball is moving in the right direction. The gun industry is growing domestically unlike most where they ship everything in from China. In the long term it will help protect the second amendment. In the short term is does screw over consumers and help domestic gun industry trade groups like the NRA.
