You’re missing the point.

It’s not about bump stocks.

“They will outlaw every trigger in 140lbs pull. You can’t give these blood dancing commie scum an INCH!”

Here in Washington State some dem wrote some bill to ban bump stocks and other modifications that would increase the rate of fire of a gun. Spelled out in the bill was something about “trigger modifications”. Which of course would mean buying a kit or having a gunsmith work on your trigger-pull to make it smoother, lighter, etc. I would think that a simple rifle sling could be construed someday to allow one to “increase the rate of fire”. Well - accurate fire anyway. Scopes, red dots, lasers, flashlights - all of that stuff allows one to increase the rate of fire for accurate shots.

It’s about caving and saying that guns are the problem, he conceded that major point to the gun-grabbers, the blood is in the water, and the sharks are coming.

Are you being purposely obtuse or just trying to agitate?

You’re losing me with your non-solution, Mr. Trump.

“Just lost my vote in 2020. “

Good.

Dont vote for him in 2020. And if he loses, I hope (insert Dem here) takes every damn firearm you’ve got, so you can pitch a fit online, and have the Dem at 1600 tell you to p*ss off.

And this goes for every one of you idiots posting that over a tweet about some meaningless accessory that most of you likely never heard of before last August.

I am for one sick to death of some of you and your goddamn fetish for tossing elected power because of some emotional reaction to something virtually insignificant.

Like what pansy is that attached to this thing, if it is true? Any idiot can just modify and create something they call “jump stocks”.

So he’s bowing down to the left because ONE person used a bump stock in a shooting?

It only takes ONE person to get something banned? What’s next?

Trump needs to learn to keep his mouth shut and not take a position on the issue du jour.

Ditto!!!!!!!!

Calm down, we aren’t saying we won’t vote for Trump.

At the same time, we aren’t going to sit here and keep our mouths shut when he does something we disagree with.

And remember, it’s not as if, he is a true-blue conservative, although he’s done a good job playing one since being elected.

But we can’t help to think that this is one case where his inner Rat is coming out.

No. This is about banning bump stocks. And that’s it. I’m a veteran and a owner. I have zero issue with this, mainly because I am a reasonable human being that does not think something as trivial as this is a threat of any kind to my rights. I also do not have any irrational fear about massive confiscations or an inability to protect myself from a tyrannical monarch over this. In other words, calm the F down.

I think this just encourages the media even more, like sharks smelling blood in the water.

The media isn't as big a problem as the avalanche of public opinion. An absolute refusal to even consider any changes whatsoever when the public is horrified by a mass shooting gives the impression that the people's right to own bump stocks is more important than the safety of children.

A lot of the public is demanding that "something be done". Either Trump will be able to reassure the public that he takes the matter seriously and "did something", or the general public will turn the matter over to the dems to "do something". I'd rather that the "something" be as meaningless a concession as possible, and that isn't likely if the dems are given control of the situation.

What else is he going to do this on....DACA?

We conservatives have to keep Trump’s feet to the fire. I think he personally couldn’t handle the fact some school children were calling him names.

...directing the Attorney General to propose a rule outlawing shoelaces, twine, key rings, belt loops & plastic in shapes...


This is the first truly stupid thing I've heard Trump say.

Poll after Poll has shown that people don’t support gun control, I think the media has whipped up things to make it appear people want something done than there really is.

The NRA is agreement with Trump on this one.

The NRA and Trump are wrong on this one. Banning things does not stop psychopathic murderers. It does, however, encourage psychopathic tyrants (and wannabe tyrants). Appeasement never works. Nazi Pelousy and Chuck Schumer will just come back looking for more.

I thought the NRA changed and came out against banning Bump Stocks.
