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."

That’s different, and I understand that. This is not the fight I want to have.

I’d trade bump stocks for suppressors. Make selling bump stocks illegal (not illegal to make your own), but make selling suppressors legal without paying a giant government fee.

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

Why not? Since this guy got to office, it’s been 365 days of people swearing to Christ that will do such-and-such at any moment.

For all of the s*it he taking pushing issues for us, it frankly smacks of a bunch of ungrateful rubes on our side, that dont trust him on one damn thing, but are more than happy that he’s taking all the bombs on our behalf, especially with the entirety of the political establishment aiming at him 24/7.

Some days it’s more obnoxious look at my own side, that have spent the past 25 years accomplishing jack, sometimes think of the one guy that has in a worst light than George W. Bush.

You’re going to have that fight, like it or not.

If anything if conservatives raise a stink, hopefully Trump will get the message that we don’t accept this.

Trump has already lost backwoods-engineer’s vote a couple dozen times (I’ve lost count)

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

If they did, then they came to their senses. Gun bans, even banning such a silly thing as a bump-stock, do nothing to deter criminals.

Listen to what Trump actually said rather than relying on the misleading headline. Will POTUS end up banning all bump stocks? I don’t know. But his statement today doesn’t explicitly state his intention to ban all bump stocks. From the Medal of Valor ceremony today, he directed Sessions to “propose regulations to ban all devices that turn legal weapons into machine guns.” Does that necessarily imply a ban on all bump stocks? Possibly not, but I really don’t know.

Anyone can go to YouTube and listen to what POTUS actually said, and make up their own mind.

Good point. Once is all I'll ever vote for the man.

Since this is Trump Central, and apparently no longer a 2nd-Amendment-friendly forum, I think I'll take a break from FR. Maybe a permanent one. I'm sure y'all would love that.

Well, if you get a Democrat President, you won’t just lose bump stocks, they will ban so-called assault rifles, put magazine limits, etc.

“propose regulations to ban all devices that turn legal weapons into machine guns.”

1) Those are already "illegal" under the National Firearms Act and the Hughes Amendment

2) Both of which are flagrantly unconstitutional and

3) Should be repealed.

Then you’ll get a Democrat who will start banning so-called assault rifles and limiting magazines.

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.

And this country is going down in flames because you people are willing to sell out your birthright for a mess of pottage. Enjoy the destruction of America.

I agree with you. He has to show some action on this, and this is something even the NRA gets behind.

Hmmm. Now, what is he going to say/do about mental health, psych wards and acting upon warnings?

So we fight tooth and nail for a garbage product? Bump stocks are junk. If you want to shoot hams in the back yard for youtube they are great, otherwise they serve no use.

This is a ruse to ban semi-autos. Any semi-auto can be bump-fired without a special stock. To eliminate bump-firing, the only solution is to ban semi-autos.

A totally useless feel-good measure.

Nonsense. Lip service is all we're getting right now.

1.8 million illegals made citizens with the swoosh of a pen - let's cut the bull and call it what it is...amnesty.

Banning legal gun parts from law-abiding citizens also with the swoosh of a pen - let's cut the bull again and call it what it is...a direct violation of the 2nd Amendment.

So let's just skip the bull altogether and call PDJT what he really is - a gun-grabbing, amnesty-giving, New Yawk liberal. So yeah, he's lost my vote and my confidence, and we're all right back where we started 30 years ago: you can vote for the establishment candidate, or you can vote for the other establishment candidate.

No thanks, I'll just sit this one out and mourn the loss of our once great Republic.
