As I'm sure most of you already know, this is the group started by Astronaut Ken and brain damaged congresswoman Barbie.
Their latest email alert is a panic call for volunteers for local action due to a Missouri vote that was defeated by one vote.
While we were organizing nationally for the Colorado recalls, our Americans for Responsible Solutions members in Missouri were fighting back to stop a bill in the state legislature that would have made it illegal to enforce federal gun laws and legal to own a machine gun!
Never mind that NFA rules apply regardless of what a state does and the only NFA item resticted by Missouri is destructive devices. ::)
I'm thinking that signing up to be a local activist could be a good thing. Have them spend money on materials and waste their time trying to get me to go door to door to spew antigun bullshit.
I already use their return mailers asking for donations by sending them back with "Sorry, I gave all my extra money to the NRA."
If anyone else wants to waste Mark & Gabbie's money and time here's a link:

it was trying to overide a veto by the govener. Who imo did the right thing, vetoed something that was loser on uscons grounds and would do nothing but cost the state cash and cut local/ state LEAs out of the loop of up coming fed raids.

Lets just say this law passes, the feds don't have to step 1 foot into mo to enforce the federal gun laws, all they have to do is start revoking ffls. No manufactor, suppler or whole saler would even think about shipping anything. They would be shut down and thrown in jail. let alone a class 3 weapon to what ammounts to a regular person(in eyes of the law) across state lines. there might be many people in Mo that would be willing to go to the federal( bang me in the ass) prison system for years while its in court, but not so many else where.

Tab, you don't get it. I wasn't saying support the MO bill that is now dead anyway.
The MO bill was a loser, I know that. At best, it was just a gesture by mistaken legislators. The MO alert was just in their latest 'call to arms' false flag email.
Sorry if I didn't make myself clear on that.
These buttholes, The ARS, were busy pulling for the antigun Senators in CO pumping in as much BS and $$$ as they possibly could.
They want people to give them money and time so they can support antigun legislators/legislation across the nation.
They want 100% background checks - sheeps clothing for 100% registration.
They want magazine capacity restrictions and the bans that go with them.
They hate so called "assault weapons".
They never saw a gun law they didn't like and use the "we own guns too" flim flam to make it sound like all the above would be great things for America's gun owners and they KNOW because "they own guns too and believe in the 2nd Amendment".
The link provided in the OP is a request for the reader to sign up for their bullshit campaign and a request to be active at the local level --> IN EVERY STATE IN THE UNION.
We can help them waste funds, time and possibly material by signing up for their BS using any email account.

I believe Colorado and Washington unknowingly set a precedent for this. They just legalized something that was illegal by federal law. The feds have said they will not try to enforce the law there. So laws like this do have legal merit.
-
there is a huge diffrence between some one smoking pot at home, and machine guns. the feds cracked down hard and basicly shut down 99% of the places selling in ca by conducting raids, with out the knowlegde or help of local LEAs until it was over. they would do the exact same thing if a law like this passed.
-
Suppressors are NFA items also and they are safety devices. That would be where to apply the marijuana precedent.
-
Perhaps it is time to quit accepting the fact that suppressors and automatics should be treated different. Start fighting like it is our Constitutionally protected right.

The feds are doing the non-enforcing at their whim. It's still against fed law and that law is still on the books.
A decision tomorrow by the feds to bust any pot smoker in CO or WA would still mean a federal beef against whoever they please.

Your right, however we might as well try. Expose a little more of the hypocrisy. Let's see if they have the balls or the man power to try to enforce the law.
Let me draw someone a picture (not you kmitch). The feds say something is illegal. Two states legalized it. The feds backed down on enforcing that law. So what if another state legalized something illegal? Will the feds step up and enforce it or will they back down again?
-
Montana and other states have already passed laws along those lines .
Not legalizing Federally prohibited actions, but refusing to enforce federal regulations.

Where's the damned "Like" button on this thing...

I say it's time to repeal all 20,000 + local, State, and federal gun laws since they have an 80 year history of abject failure.

Imagine the day that politicians say "We've made a mistake, and it is time to rectify that. Sorry!"

I'm pretty imaginative, but I can't do that one with out my head hurting. :-[

What you get instead is "It is the perfect plan, we just A. Underfunded it or B: Didn't make it strict enough. The solution is to do it twice as much."
