the nra & republicans are willing to 'look at' a gun stock.

[spanone]

they are appearing to be 'reasonable' about a gun stock nothing more....not. a. weapon.

just this....

(CNN)The next fight in the gun debate isn't over what to do, but who should do it.

Capitol Hill Republicans have opened the door to regulating bump fire stocks, gun accessories that can convert semi-automatic weapons into firing similarly to automatic ones, but the scope of those changes, the timing and who ultimately will make them is still a major question on Capitol Hill.

After the deadliest shooting in modern American history, Republican leaders have signaled some openness to at least looking into narrowly addressing the country's existing gun laws. The Senate's No. 2 Republican Sen. John Cornyn told reporters he wanted to see a hearing when the Las Vegas shooting investigation concluded.

House Speaker Paul Ryan, an avid outdoorsman and hunter, told reporters Thursday that bump stocks were something that the country should consider taking a look at.

1. lip service...

they know they are fucked on this issue.

but they won't do a thing.

they will "look at it" which translated to, we will delay this issue until it vanishes from the public's mind or until the next mass shooting.

2. Red herring...

Fight over minor things, ignore the big ones.

4. That's what I wrote in another post

There are just enough minor items that could be "discussed" indefinitely that the big ticket item, full regulation of firearms, will never be discussed. Bump fire stocks, silencers, size of banana clips. We could spend decades debating these things.
