Lawmaking from the executive branch is bad for our Republic, regardless of which party undertakes it.
Trump banned bump stocks without an act of congress. Following this exact process, Biden banned pistol braces without an act of congress.
(Excerpt) Read more at twitter.com ...
DJTrump panicked and went along with the poison fed him by the DState.
That kind of crappola happens. Didn’t y’all notice how he was captured by the liars?
Any such EOrder is unconstitutional. Once any Pres realizes that he/she should immediately rescind. BeijingBiden is so corrupt tho, he states that he does stuff like that routinely so as to impose his will and let the courts sort it out. HE is a tyrant.
He signed an EO banning them... Look it up. It was overturned by the courts in 2021.
It doesn’t. It enables faster trigger pulling by utilizizing the recoil of the firearm. It’s still one trigger pull, one bullet. Therefore, it’s still a semi-auto weapon.
Originally designed to help those with disabilities, IIRC.
Trump banned bump stocks because of the Las Vegas shooting, although I don’t think I’ve ever seen the actual evidence that they were used.
This is true and it is one of PDJT’s major failings.
I blame Javanka.
Making fully automatic weapons illegal, should be illegal. Just about everything Federal from the 1934 NFA forward should be declared unconstitutional. What part of “shall not be infringed” is so hard to understand?
I have a retired CWO Green Beret I’ve recently become acquainted with, who I’d love to ask that question of.
I agree with you. Bump stocks are a toy for wasting ammunition, is my take.
With that said, they shouldn’t be illegal.
true... half the crap they outlaw shouldnt be outlawed!! lol
Just make some excuse that AR-15s fall under the same category as destructive devices and declare them banned.
Yup.
well its true
what bs
As I said a bump stock on a semiautomatic weapon a mimics on the out side that which resides on the inside of a fully automatic weapon. According to what you say if I market a grenade launcher that goes on a semiautomatic weapon is AOK to sell. I believe the folks that wrote the 2nd amendment never envisioned regulating a AR15 with a 42 round magazine and a bump stock would qualify as an infringement of the right to bear arms.I have to go now. I just saw a .50 Cal Mounted Humvee for sale and I’m going to bid on it.
“A bump stock is a firearm accessory that makes a semiautomatic rifle fire like a machine gun.”
It was overturned by one circuit (via 5th Circuit Court of Appeals).
Three other circuits have upheld the bumpstock ban.
So there's now a circuit split. We'll see if SCOTUS will take a case to resolve the split.
Trump didn’t ban bump stocks, the NRA did. Trump didn’t pick weaselly judges, the conservative think tanks did. Trump didn’t want to nominate deep staters, McConnell made it do it. Trump didn’t etc, etc, etc....
It almost like the office of President is completely powerless aside from complaining on social media.
Ummmm - that would mean you approve of legislation by EO - which Trump wasn’t guilty of in this case...Blame the Congress for not coming up with positive legislation.
