Bum Stock is just a word. It’s the other open ended wording that will be ruinous.

They will outlaw every trigger in 140lbs pull. You can’t give these blood dancing commie scum an INCH!

The President keeps his promises but the Left will never give him any credit for his integrity.

They just hate him and he can do no good in their eyes. That’s more of a reflection on them than on him.

You heard Sarah Sanders today - they accused her of being delusional and justifying the President’s alleged falsehoods on Russia.

With these people in the fake news media and among the Democrats, the President simply can’t win.

This is a bad sign from Trump.

It is so. No matter what the President does, short of confiscation and banning the NRA, he is going to be criticized and blamed. There's no appeasing the left on this issue.

He should announce that he's scheduled meetings with leaders from the NRA to develop real solutions, and then sit back to watch the gun-grabbers go ape-sh**.

Once you concede the point that guns are the problem, it’s only a matter of time.

You can replicate a bump stock just by keeping the butt of the rifle slightly off your shoulder.

Bump stocks are stupid. Anyone with guns knows that. They reduce accuracy to nothing. It’s a toy.

If you want the thrill of shooting a machine gun, you can do it legally in Vegas and lots of other places at gun ranges that have fully automatic machine guns like the kind in Rambo!

You can also legally purchase a pre-1986 machine gun by paying about $20,000 and going through a year long FBI background check that is similar to a colonoscopy. But people do them and you can legally buy one.

Man, I’m really liking my idea. Sure I should try not to hurt myself patting myself on my back. But this is genius!

Can’t you just see it?

President Trump: “The best expertise we have in our country on firearm safety is the National Rifle Association. Accordingly, I have set up a joint Federal Government-NRA partnership to find the best ways to secure our schools and promote firearm safety!”

Woah boy! That would get them squealing like piggies.

Well, there are restrictions in terms of automatic weapons anyway. Bump stocks allow semi-automatic to simulate an automatic, right?

Bump stocks are range toy trash. Your finger fires faster. This is like banning the little 2 inch knife that fits on the glock 19.Its on no consenquence.

“First they came for the bumpstocks, and I did not speak out—
Because I did not own a bumpstock.”

Its an accessory that was banned.

The President knows politics better than any one else, including his supporters and his enemies.

He exudes both compassion and resolve. Let the nattering nabobs of negativism say what they want.

They’re scum.

As long as the standard infantry rifle is capable of full auto, those restrictions are unconstitutional. We have tolerated them for 80 years against our wishes. Again, this order might mention “bump stocks: but they are such a minute market share, the real issue is about the “other devices”.

It also seems that, if such restrictions would be imposed on a free people, they must start with Congress. I, for one, have had quite enough executive overreach, even from our side. As you say, then there is the whole "shall not be infringed" problem, which makes the whole thing moot.
