Clearly your threshold for “big deal” is much lower than mine. Regardless, there’s lots of assumptions in the above. Please cite source supporting your comment most of the 800,000 buy off the shelf. While your at it, please cite source for statement that they’ll have remote issues first anyway. And don’t forget to also cite source proving many or most not interested in fixed

that is a rhetorical TACTIC you are using to accomplish your true agenda, which is "sticking a fork in the FRIA concept" (your words). Much the same as Lincoln using the Emancipation Proclamation to free slaves "only the rebellious areas" rather than asking for a Constitutional amendment. Only in your case, you're not HELPING anyone. You are merely "virtue signaling".
Well, then I consider myself in good company given Lincoln’s standing and what he achieved. If reuniting at country and freeing people (the end result of his strategy) is virtue signaling, sign me up.

You must be really concerned that this strategy will resonate with regulators. As you wouldn’t be spending so much focus on little old me. But then again, I guess it’s proof that the AMA pushed FRIAs for the reason I believe they did - it is, another attempt by AMA to use law or regulation to compel membership.
