New: Trump just said he signed a memo directing the Attorney General to propose a rule outlawing bump stocks, all devices "that turn legal weapons into machine guns." He expects those regulations to be finalized "very soon."

To be honest, I really don't think that will make much of a difference. They were used in that one shooting in Vegas but typically aren't. Also, if you Google bump stocks, one of the things you see is how to make homemade ones. The NRA is in favor of it too, though.

When I Googled it, it appeared the NRA was initially supporting a ban but eventually saw the light and decided it'd be a bad idea.

Sadly, the president seems to be in the dark.

"...devices "that turn legal weapons into machine guns..."

If Trump said this, he's letting his stupid hang out.

Once you start saying “Guns are the problem” it’s only a matter of time before confiscation.

...devices "that turn legal weapons into machine guns."

Bump stocks do not "turn legal weapons into machine guns". That is an ignorant and asinine thing to say.

Never heard of these things until the Vegas shooting. If you insist on one, based on videos I watched, get a big rubber band.

I was touched by the Medal Of Valor Ceremony.

President Trump exuded a quiet strength of confidence and compassion as he honored the heroes who gave their lives to protect fellow Americans.

I was deeply moved and this was our President at his best as our national Comforter In Chief.

America is blessed to have this good man as its President.

If this is one of Trump’s rope a dopes, fine.

If not, he lost my vote.

I will wait to see what happens.

Yup. The Left is now completely satisfied that their agenda has been fulfilled. No more complaints out of them. Nosirreebob.

So when Trump actually does something that legitimizes calling him “literally Hitler,” the left will cheer him on.

And he thinks that will make them love him?

This will temper the enthusiasm of many of his supporters.
