(18,318 posts)We can differ on the relative flexibilities of the "two sides," but I would only point out that the first measures advocated after Sandy Hook were calls for bans of both rifles and bulk ammunition purchases, the same-as-it-ever-was approach for over 2 decades. Personally, I don't see the extended mag measure as anything more than symbolism, and unworkable for the many reasons posted here over the last half year, but it might stand constitutional scrutiny, I just don't know.
The NRA is not the only show in town. Referencing the mental health proposals, Governor Scott (FL) very recently backed a measure supported by the NRA, but vigorously opposed by the GOA and even more aggressive gun groups. And there is the IFOA which supports Manchen-Toomey, and the legalization of pot, if for no other reason than its prominent Catch-22 role in Form 4473.
