Poll: would you trade bump fire stocks for national reciprocity?

There has been a lot of talk about a possible ban on bump fire stocks. If our politicians really wanted to compromise and said, we will ban bumpfire stocks, but sign on for National Reciprocity would you be okay with a ban? Please feel free to share your thoughts and reasons below.

voted no because I am done with compromising

If it were limited to Bump-fire stocks yeah I might consider such a thing, but I don't see that being the case. They will include Binary triggers and as speculated by some they may even go so far as define trigger weight.

I have to agree. I don't own a bump/slide fire and I really do not have any plans to.

I am voting no for the same reason: no compromises.

HOWEVER... if a bill were placed for vote that only banned bump fire stocks EXPLICITY and BY NAME,
AND such bill opened up the machine gun registry,
AND took suppressors off of NFA (no Form 4473 requirement either, I want to make my own,)
AND enacted National Reciprocity with full enforcement against states that fail to comply,
AND such a bill would not be allowed to have last minute riders/amendments attached to it,
THEN I might allow it's consideration.

Given that I have a better chance of being reincarnated as Hugh Heffner in the 60s, I think I'm safe with my caveat.

Mr. Reagan, would you trade the Hughes amendment for FOPA? -NRA

I have to be honest with you, with the advent of bump fire stocks and binary triggers, I no longer see the Hughes amendment as such a critical thing. Yes it keeps the few remaining legal-to-own-in-civilian-hands machine guns in ultra rarefied territory, but the two aforementioned items allow firing rates nearly or equivalently to what a FAR can achieve. I don't agree with the Hughes amendment on principle (shall not be infringed,) however in practical terms at this point, it almost feels like a moot argument to fight for it's repeal. Perhaps that's a debate better suited to a new thread.

Yes. In a minute.

I as well.

I am not trying to be a prick when I say this. The poll is somewhat flawed. Reason being, is there will be no concessions for National reciprocity. You are basically giving away something and getting nothing in return. I would consequently have to say no for just this reason.
