[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 2957410, member: 3099"] No not at all. What I'm saying is that it doesn't matter one whit whether we "forget it" or whether Otis wants to call some gun owners cowards if we don't have a congress and White House that will play ball. Whining and name calling will never get it done. You want to repeal NFA? It simple. Change congress or amend the constitution with the proper verbiage. Or we can awaken the FUDDs to the fact that NFA even exists. The very purpose of the NFA was to be a de facto ban. Roosevelt knew an outright ban wouldn't pass muster with the 2A so they put on a tax that was several times the cost of the guns he wanted to rid society of. It pretty much worked didn't it? I'd bet that the vast majority in Congress are just like the vast majority of people. My BIL has owned guns his entire life but he just hunts and he didn't know you could own a machine gun legally. Think about it, most people think machine guns are illegal to own. Let that sink in... All these petitions are going to do (if they even get the required signatures) is force the WH to issue a statement that they take a position. Obama, if he even would have bothered to respond, would have just scribbled out some illegible scratchings on the paper because he would be laughing so hard. Trump? Who knows? He'll probably be able to write out NO and it will just die right there. You really think McConnell and Ryan will let a repeal hit the floor? Get real. Then get rid of the FUDDs instead of getting upset at failed petitions... [/QUOTE]
