Bump stock ban's flop a bad omen for Democrats' gun buyback plan
Washington Times ^ | 10-6-19 | David Sherfinski

Posted on 10/10/2019 9:25:27 AM PDT by dynachrome

The federal government collected fewer than 1,000 bump stocks during the run-up to a new ban in March, despite estimates that hundreds of thousands of the devices that mimic machine gun fire are in circulation, according to federal data provided to The Washington Times by the Justice Department.

As the nation marked the second anniversary Oct. 1 of the Las Vegas massacre, which prodded the Trump administration to ban bump stocks, the numbers offer a cautionary tale on the scope and resources needed to enforce any sort of gun buyback program.

The administration cited estimates that 280,000 to 520,000 bump-stock-type devices were in circulation when it published the final rule in December.

I'm sure there are many bump stocks buried in backyards, but the lack of federal turn-ins does not mean non-compliance.

Bump stocks were just hunks of plastic, and the ATF gave instructions on how to destroy them. I'm sure the majority of bump stocks were hacksawed and thrown in the trash.

They want semi auto’s.
Then pumps.
Then bolt action.
Then single shot.
The bastards want them all.
Thanks to Bobby Frank for spilling the beans.

I don’t have a bump stock.

Just a souvenir paperweight that coincidentally is the same size, shape and weight as a bump stock.

We will not comply.
The people of these United State are under no obligation to follow u Constitutional laws!
Just an FYI for when they enact more “gun buyback” programs

Let’s face it. if we come to the point of CW 2.0 and the bad guys are at my door, they are gonna lock me up simply for refusing to accept the notion that there are 117 genders.

So what’s one more charge on the bump stock?

Americans do not obey illegal laws (more or less, illegally imposed “regulations”)

any student of history knows this,
from the very American revolution itself...
through Prohibition
thorugh marijuana
through (I regret to have to note the non-compliance with when we had) anti-abortion abortion

If anyone believes that the Las Vegas shooter was using a bump stock, I have a bridge to sell you.

Las Vegas was a false flag govt op. There were multiple shooters with full auto weapons. The FBI is covering up the real story there.

We know that the mass murderers are commies obsessed with controlling others and wanting a police state. Some of them have even written obviously fake manifestos. They believed that they would be great historical figures for their cause against the American people.

Here’s how to stop them from committing mass murders. Let them know that they’ve had no effect, and that their efforts to disarm the population have failed. And don’t allow them to avoid the proper extent of punishment by claiming to be insane. Put political and administrative pressure on the judicial to accomplish that.
