It does seem like these things come along at pretty convenient times. But I suppose there is usually some battle pending between patriots and anti-gun bigots, and the liars of liberal media will exploit anything and claim that whatever comes along proves that the gun control du jour is necessary. Removing the illegal edict about suppressors isn't the only one thing pending now if I'm not mistaken. It seems like GOA submitted a challenge to illegal edicts in a few states outlawing so-called assault weapons too.
This one is really weird though since the guy is so non-typical of those who do this kind of thing, and it seems to support gun control so perfectly. For the first time in many years there is a president who at least claims to be a loyal American and the party that claims to support the Constitutional right to be armed nominally holds a majority in both houses of Congress. So patriots have been expecting the lifting of some gun control laws and there seems to be movement toward that end. Then this comes along and throws a wet blanket over that effort.
