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."

I still love you and your posts.
We had a little north/south tiff there for a moment, and I’m sure you could refute what I said in a quite concise and effective manner.
But i’m Italian. I dont deal in facts!!! I deal in emotions!! ### damn it!! :)
Have a good night paesan.
No hard feelings.
We’re on the SAME SIDE and I know you like Trump. Just pissed about the gun thing.
I dont know enough about guns to know if it’s a big deal or not.
I’m from NYC/USSR we’re you can’t carry :)
And if you say pistols at dawn you can get the #### out of here, cause I ain’t showin!!!
The only holes I want in my head are the natural ones God put there!!!! Nose, mouth and ears!! :)
I'm not good with it but I am OK with it...
Of course, no one will download the specs and print one on a 3-D printer.
If AR-15’s are banned, IMO, it will make the perceived issue worse. Instead of meth labs in trailers, rednecks will be machining full auto AR receivers and selling them to criminals on the black market.
nattering nabobs of negativism
Did Dr.Smith use that on the Robot?
There used to be a word for people who believed as you do. If I recall correctly, they were called “Subjects”.
You may parse words and dance around the subject as much as you like, but the fact remains that my engagement with you on this topic hasn’t been “bump stock” related at all, nor have your responses had anything to do with the words I actually posted...
You seem to be enjoying the sophistry inherent in pretending that “the real world” is anything like where you live.
The point is, that when any judge, or county sheriff may determine that you will be disarmed, without a finding at trial (where you are involved in the process of defending your rights); you are in fact ALREADY under a oppressive and totalitarian regime, you’re just too deluded to see it.
Your frequent mention of “the laws that we live under” seems to carve out a vast and expansive exception for those who rule over you when in fact their authority is limited by law as well... A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed...
As is so often repeated, Justice Scalia opined that the 2nd amendment is not absolute, and I somewhat agree with that, but only within the framework of the other constitutional restrictions: Particularly those of the 4th amendment against unreasonable seizures.
We the people limit the actions of the government within the framework of the Constitution, from which the government’s only lawful powers emanate. Any government actions outside that framework and the specific powers delegated to it by the people are inherently illegal, because they are taken without authority.
Your chickens#it, phony hypothetical doesn’t find me adjudicated mentally unfit to possess arms, nor convicted of a disqualifying felony, nor subject to seizure upon a duly sworn warrant... It’s just childish internet trolling at it’s most transparent.
If any government agency proposes to deprive me of my God given rights without due process, they will be met with force appropriate to the situation. You may know that, and they may know that as well.
I served this country in defense of those freedoms you would toss aside for convenience sake, and as a free man I am very much aware of those principles for which I would fight, and if necessary, die to insure that they are not lost to humanity forever.
If that statement defines me as a ‘crackpot” or detached from your reality, then “go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”
No. Vice-President Spiro Agnew used it on the press.

As was shown in Lost Wages recently.
This week served up a fresh dose of reality to all those who ever accused Trump of being a great, conservative defender of the Constitution.
Yep, just like the damn 'permit' in my wallet.
Yet, there it is. And here we are.
BAM
Truthful words from the NRA spokesperson is so true. Here are her words in Oct 2017
NRA Spokesperson Dana Loesch: “They use their media to assassinate real news. They use their schools to teach children that their president is another Hitler. They use their movie stars and singers and comedy shows and award shows to repeat their narrative over and over again. And then they use their ex-president to endorse the resistance. All to make them march, make them protest, make them scream “racism” and “sexism” and “xenophobia,” “homophobia.” To smash windows, burn cars, shut down interstates and airports, bully and terrorize the law-abiding until the only option left is for the police to do their jobs and stop the madness. And when that happens, they’ll use it as an excuse for their outrage. “
A little harder to make a fake ID (which would never hold up under scrutiny anyway) than to 3D print a piece of plastic that by it self is nothing.
I don’t see how any piece of plastic can be made illegal, no matter how it’s shaped. I see the court cases overturning bans on sex toys as having relevance (I’m no law talking guy so maybe that’s a kooky argument, “drug paraphernalia” are often illegal despite being nothing but plastic and glass and whatnot ).
I'm always pissed about the gun thing ...
I dont know enough about guns to know if it’s a big deal or not.
On the face of it, it's not a big deal. "Bump stocks" are silly toys for foolish people. IMO. It's a matter of principle. "Bump stocks" didn't cause that filth in Las Vegas to murder people. Banning them at any time (particularly "in the wake of" some gruesome crime) just establishes the principle that scary gun things are bad. The 'rats don't want to ban "bump stocks" or "handguns" or "assault weapons" or "sniper rifles" or whatever. They want to ban ALL guns. I say don't give them an inch. Ever. We've been trying 'gun control' for decades (see NYC's Sullivan Act") and they do nothing to prevent or reduce crime.
I'm tired of it, and I have no patience for politicians who run on a Pro Second Amendment platform and then propose gun bans when some filth commits a spectacular crime. I'm thinking of my own misbegotten turd of a senator Joe Manchin, for example. So if Donald Trump starts to go wobbly, he'll hear about it. Doesn't mean he's in the same league as the execrable Joe Manchin. Not even close.
Have a good night paesan.
I am one, actually ...
No hard feelings.
Likewise.
prep folk will cut a hole.
Strategery. Making Them oppose it.
ROTFLMAO!
I like it. Kind of brilliant.
I could not have said it better myself!
