This story is full of crappy Democrat spin.
Senator Ricketts didn’t “block” a ban on bump stocks. He objected to passing the legislation by “unanimous consent” because he wanted all Senators on the record as voting for or against the measure that did much more than just ban bump stocks, but banned anything that “materially increased the firing rate of a semiautomatic weapon.”
This bill would have banned any aftermarket trigger that was lighter or smoother than a factory trigger. It has been argued that it might even ban other aftermarket parts such as lighter recoil springs if they increased the cycle rate of the semiautomatic weapon in any way.
It was a very bad bill.
I am for the 2nd. I am a gun owner.
BUTT
I am also a lying anti gun FUDD who would take your rights away.
Because it is far more important that we disarm the people so we can take over.
