We won! (For now...)
Ping.
They caved!!!!
So we’re OK for the next 4 weeks.
At never banned them Trump did wit an EO
Now back off the 80% receivers.
I think you're confusing Bump Stocks with Pistol Braces.
ATF
A win for a while, that’s for sure. The fight to come will make this one look like a skirmish, but I’ll take it.
Both aree stabilizing devices
Perhaps, but this letter does nothing about Bump Stocks.
I was going to write a comment over the Christmas holiday. Looks like I don’t need to now - although my link for the comment location still works.
I can bumpfire without one fine.
Trump made a piece of plastic illegal with an EO.
Thems the facts.
My bump stocks came with a letter of approval from Obamas ATF.
When I sold them, my FFL dealer was afraid to touch them because Trump made them illegal with an EO.
No
Just temporary
This Ping List is for all things pertaining to infringes upon or victories for the 2nd Amendment.

What !!!
Have you fired a bump stock ??
IMHO the bump stock without firing is just a stock, you start rattling that and there is zero way you have a stabilized stock platform.
