Re: Magpul Exec. Duane Liptak open letter about the NRA
I don't personally know any ANTIFA members, but from what I see and read about them, they seem like a group of sheep who parrot the same shallow thoughts, who disregard details and practical reality. They feel entitled to whatever they want, and if they don't get exactly what they demand, then they want to burn the world down and break things and destroy what others have built, I guess with some notion that a new world will magically replace what they've destroyed. And they make a lot of noise trying to get others to agree with them, probably because they aren't all that convinced by their own simple arguments, and it would comfort them if smarter and more experienced people agreed with them
Seems like there are a lot of anti-Trumpers and anti-NRA people who come from the same mold.Attorney Phil Kline, AKA gunlawyer001@gmail.com

I support what the ILA does...not so sure about how the rest of those blowhards are doing. Complacent and fat...breeds arrogance and a lack of giving a shit. Until they start bleeding cash and have nothing much to offer...other than an apology and a board member spilling the beans.

Re: Magpul Exec. Duane Liptak open letter about the NRA
I've always looked at any politician or organization as I'll give them kudos when they do right and criticize them when they are wrong. What the NRA or Trump does right, I am happy to contribute to and applaud, when they veer off track I'll criticize and/or withhold financial support. It's the same with any business as well. To do otherwise would seem to be shallow, disregarding details and facts and practical reality.

Re: Magpul Exec. Duane Liptak open letter about the NRA
I agree with that. My complaint is about those who falsely claim that the NRA keeps supporting more restrictions on gun rights, when the reality is that the NRA aims to strike a balance between what we deserve under the Constitution and what is possible given today's politics. No member of Congress is going to stand up and demand that it be easier for the mentally ill to get guns, or argue that people need machineguns for home defense (I know it's not about "needs", but try to embrace the reality.) The constituency for "any guns for anybody" is tiny, the political cost for the attempt is fatal.
We can't even get deregulated silencers, in a country that mandates mufflers on cars. If OSHA were in charge, silencers would be mandatory, at least for police and security guards who use guns at work. But there's no political leverage to get it.
Look, a perfect bicycle would weigh zero pounds, but in the real world you just get the lightest one you can afford. I have no idea what perfect gun legislation would be, we don't even agree about that here on a gun forum, where some of you favor letting felons go right from the prison to a gun shop after their 20 year sentence for triple homicide is over, and others think that there are some (kids, violent criminals, the dangerously mentally ill, illegal aliens) who shouldn't be unsupervised and shouldn't have access to weapons. The NRA can't possibly be 100% in sync with all gun owners. They're just more effective than any other organization except for AARP and the ABA.Attorney Phil Kline, AKA gunlawyer001@gmail.com
