My initial reaction was to be pissed at the NRA, but like some others have said, I have to wonder if this isn't part of some clever political move that may culminate in a give and take type of situation. They have to have R support and Trump's signature to get their ban, and to do that, there may have to be something offered on their side - HPA or national reciprocity, for example. Personally of those two, I'd take the HPA over national reciprocity.
This isn't how it will work. You cant compromise with someone who doesn't have anything to give up in return. The antis don't "have" our silencer or reciprocity rights, they are the ones that have taken it away.
For a better idea on how compromises work with someone who doesn't have anything to give up in return, this is a very timeless quick read that sums it up nicely.
