Wait, so you're saying the NRA's strategy was to motivate the Federal government to act in an illegal or tyrannical manner, under the presumption they wouldn't?

Yup, no way the strategy could go sideways...no way.

I don't believe you, I think the NRA took the "Neville Chamberlain" approach to 2nd Amendment policy and it bit them in their ass.

The ATF should (if it exists) enforce the laws congress writes, not write their own.

A great strategy?   Of all the people who could use the excuse "I didn't know" when it comes to how the judiciary feels about machine guns, the NRA is the last organization on this planet to be able to use that excuse.

The best course of action was to do NOTHING.

The judiciary was and still remains a huge coin toss.   It is my opinion that if the courts look at this issue and see "machine gun" then we lose.   If they see executive over reach then we may still lose because of Chevron deference.

Seeing how the various federal courts have responded to the numerous requests for injunctions to stall the implementation of this administrative law change, I would say our chances don't look that great from here.

The only people who think kicking any issue into the judiciary to resolve, especially issues pertaining to machine guns, is a good idea, relative to getting Congress to agree on something, are people who don't understand how our government works.

Not only that, state & local LE in Idaho are prohibited from enforcing new federal gun control laws/executive orders/agency orders/etc.

(Until they're given a court order to do so. )

https://legislature.idaho.gov/statutesrules/idstat/Title18/T18CH33/SECT18-3315B/

That apparently applies to "a personal firearm, a firearm accessory or ammunition."

"No federal executive order, agency order, law, statute, rule or regulation issued, enacted or promulgated on or after the effective date of this act, shall be knowingly and willfully ordered to be enforced by any official, agent or employee of the state or a political subdivision of the state if contrary to the provisions of section 11, article I, of the constitution of the state of Idaho."

An applicable portion of the state constitution:
"No law shall impose licensure, registration or special taxation on the ownership or possession of firearms or ammunition. Nor shall any law permit the confiscation of firearms, except those actually used in the commission of a felony."

Explain that to my pile of melted bump stocks.

Over $1k in parts that were legally acquired, destroyed to comply with an illegal, yet NRA supported, rule.

Wayne LaPierre and Chris Cox deserve to die of cancer for that joint statement, as do their lackeys.

For anyone who looked at the issue this was clear.

Personally, I think Trump knew this would be the result, but was feeling "in the moment" the need to do something to derail real "common sense" gun control.
