“He is gone, or didnt you get the memo???”
The memo said that it was done under his supervision.
“Better outlaw those evil rubber bands, too.”
Don’t forget belt loops, those will have to be banned too.
Do you think all of that was started and finished in the past week, or did you just spend last night at a Holiday Inn Express?
this of course is nonsense. The only place a bump fire rifle would be more deadly than firing standard semi-auto is in the one in a million situation of the Vegas shooting - where the shooter has an elevated position and is shooting into a large mass of people such that he cant miss, or perhaps shooting into a mass of people sitting in stadium bleachers. Why? Because otherwise you can't hit the broad side of a barn using them. For first responders, someone taking aimed shots, who knows how to shoot a rifle, would be much more deadly.
“They ( and I ) think this is no big deal.”
Speak for yourself. It’s the principle of the thing...a knee jerk emotional reaction to a mass shooting which fell right into the hands of the anti-gunners. Weak people caved. Shouldn’t give the bastards an inch.
The buck stops where???
Looks like we need to ban ALL rifles ...
“Better outlaw those evil rubber bands, too.”
You don’t even need a rubber band! Next, how will the ATF manage to “outlaw” trigger fingers? I actually think bump firing is just a waste of ammo, but if it “floats your boat,” have at it!
From October 1st of this year:
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-guns-bumpstocks/trump-says-close-to-finalizing-effective-ban-on-gun-bump-stocks-idUSKCN1MB3C3
Were knocking out bump stocks, Trump said at a White House news conference. Were in the final two or three weeks, and Ill be able to write out bump stocks.
You are absolutely correct. So let's summarize:
In the 8 years of the Obama administration we got:
"Bump Stocks" were made legal by his ATF.
He signed a bill making it legal to conceal carry in National Parks.
He signed a bill allowing firearms in checked baggage on Amtrak Trains reversing a ban put in effect after 9/11.
He removed the requirement that the chief LEO of your county sign off on any application to purchase a real machine gun, thus removing a cumbersome step in the application process. (Typically this would be the Sheriff who almost would never sign off on this.)
I still support Pres. Trump 100% but he really needs to ignore some of his advisors. (Don't fall into the Bush-1 trap.(Bush bans importation of certain semi-autos after listening to Drug Czar Bill Bennett who said hunters wouldn't care, pissing off gun owners and loses reelection)
Perhaps Trump figures it will be thrown out in a court challenge. We'll see.
You stated that Trump has effected more gun control in two years than Obama did in eight years. I reply you’re full of sh*t. Period. Now, piss off.
Until they change their mind. Again.
“to clarify that bump-stock-type devices are machineguns as defined by the NFA and GCA because such devices allow a shooter of a semiautomatic firearm to initiate a continuous firing cycle with a single pull of the trigger.”
By this logic though couldn’t some filthy lawyer proclaim that since the semi auto itself can be “readily” converted to full auto with a bump stock, it therefore should be covered by the NFA?
Well, the media crafted perception is certainly an issue. They are so very good at remaining on message despite their protests that they aren’t what they are.
When dealing with dilemmas the thing to realize is that they are usually crafted in such a way to nay present the bad options. Like the proverbial horns of a bull these invited responses open you up to impalement fro the other horns no matter which you choose.
With gun control, yes, it is important to point out the many times that firearms are used for defense; however, the other horn (the demand to do something) is not rooted at all in facts, but only in feelings, and is immune to that approach. They have their panties in a twist.
But the REAL problem, the uninvited response not wanted, is one in common with ALL Leftism, it is fighting against Arbitrary government and the presumption that people’s circumstances alone (perceived or real) are somehow basis for the federal to lawfully address them.
It is no coincidence that the NFA 1934 comes from the fetid flowering of Arbitrary government that was the 1930s, for it was then that people finally stopped supporting the Republic as FDR cast it aside for a fistful of benefits, programs and federal power grabs.
Ultimately addressing gun control means having the larger debates that we never had back then, forcing people to deal with the fact that they hate the Constitution that actually exists and pressing home that their circumstances, their feelings, are immaterial when it comes to what government can lawfully do.
Screw everyone equally ... save the Republic from progressive pablum.
Is that what youre reduced to when the facts arent on your side? Childish vulgarity? Rather sad.
You’re a Never-Trump retread. Get lost.
Get lost.
No.
“This rule provides significant non-quantifiable benefits to public safety.”
Only a government committee could come up with a sentence like that. It’s just like everything else with liberals and delusion people - feelings as opposed to facts.
Wasnt teleasedbin his watch, plus Trump said he was going to do something about bump stocks.
Trumps policy is being put into place.
