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."

Here we go! I knew it, an easy prediction. I’ve said it before, certain freepers would be the FIRST to turn on Trump. The palatable arrogance here is overwhelming and our worst enemy. The Fifth Column Freepers can always be counted on to not see the forest for the trees.

That is ridiculous. Over some add on? Really? This piece of medal has nothing to do with the second amendment. Aren’t you really using feeling and emotion over this?

Agreed. Not machine guns. But best to let this definition hold in the gun grabbers mind. It is like the sacrificial anode on a boat. Let it corrode as the valuable metal parts remain uncorroded.

Next they will come after bumpstock like belt loops, bras and unzipped zippers. Let them. Just a hoot if it were all not so pathetic.

In a broad sense I agree with you; however, in a limited sense the issue as premised come under the 'automatic' ban which is already effectively a conceded/mute issue...

Yup. In my state, a BMF Activator can't be purchased since it effectively turns a semi-auto into something effectively very close to full auto. I accept that and will live within the law. If we'd ever get into a shooting civil war though, when the law has broken down, you can bet I'd figure out a way to craft one of my own.

I will not fire on God if He comes to disarm me.

Alright, Hugh the Scary, we won’t tell you what to do. But we’d be remiss not to mention you’re a crackpot.

There you go again... What I’ve posted is plenty clear without your re-framing it. I would not stand by meekly if the county sheriff came to rape or murder my grandchildren. I’d shoot.

What, in your smarmy opinion is different to that and removing my ability to prevent someone else from doing so?

Yea, I totally don’t get what that dudes getting at. You said very clearly that you “wouldn’t fire on God if he came to disarm you.”

I won’t make that pledge.

You’re right, I overreacted. There was no need to “mention” the obvious. You already let the world know what a screwball you are. Go ahead, flail away and solidify how softheaded you are.

If one wasn't sleeping 24/7 last October, they would have seen this coming.

We're a nation of laws. Under the law, we've given the power to law enforcement to arrest people at times. Somebody coming to rape or murder is never acting within the law. That is the difference.

You weren't saying you'd shoot someone attempting to rape or murder your grandchildren. You said you'd shoot somebody who was following a legal order to disarm you.

I don’t think you have the capacity to understand, Warped One. I’m normal. Yes, I know, it’s been awhile since you’ve tread those waters.

And that’s where you tapdanced off the table... There is no “lawful” order to disarm me.

That’s the whole point.

If an arrest warrant has been signed off on by a judge, they aren't going to allow you to carry a firearm into the police station. Disarming you is lawful once the judiciary has approved it, at the very least.

Feel free to test your theory by trying to walk into a courtroom openly carrying a loaded firearm. Tell them it isn't lawful for them to disarm you as you force your way into the courtroom.
