The idea of delisting certain items from the NFA is formidable. But it also must be taken in context. It would be great if the NFA did not exist. And if it must exist, it would be better if its scope was limited. Removing suppressors and short barreled long arms from the purview is a reasonable scenario. But it is not reasonable to believe that *any* initiative that *expands* gun rights in this current federal climate would have a chance. While it is possible for a bill to make it through the House, making it through the Senate (right now) is pretty much a non-starter. But even if there were some miraculous event that would allow it to sneak through, do you think it could overcome a White House veto?

This idea of delisting has merit. But there really is only going to be enough "ammo" to fire this shot once. Best to do it when the environment provides the greatest chance of success. Win the Senate, put somebody who's not a socialist in the White House and then head for daylight...
