And your thumb and your belt-loop in your pants too.

I wrote my Senators when this was first proposed to tell them I supported the proposal that if they were to do a bump-stock ban, they should trade it for nationwide reciprocal concealed carry. I guess that ain’t happening.

The only reason Obama’s minions from Hell legalized bump stocks was as a vehicle by which to attack all semi-automatic weapons.

The only acceptable trade for allowing a bump stock to be considered a “machine gun” would be to eliminated Section Title 18, 922(o) of the US Code, such that new full auto firearms could be registered to ordinary citizens. I’m willing to make someone pay $200 for a tax stamp for a bump stock, if that means that 5 million people can also get a full auto M16 or M4 in the next 10 years. Otherwise, no deal.

This “rule” can and should be fought in the courts. The ATFs OWN RULES demonstrate that a bump stock is NOT a machine gun, since the trigger must be pulled once for each shot fired.

FYI, I don’t own a bump stock, nor was I planning on getting one - but the principle of “SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED” is at issue here, so NO COMPROMISE (well, not unless we can open up the full auto registry - and the other side will NEVER agree to that).

"And your thumb..."

Since you are a "current possessor" of such thumbs, you will be required to surrender them, destroy them, or render them permanently inoperable!
