“Exactly right. If they can ban bump stocks by the stroke of a pen,, watch them do the same to normal capacity magazines in the future.”
Not just mags, it will be the entire rifle. What Trump is doing is ignoring the law and deciding that a bump stock is now an NFA item and must be turned in. He is doing it solely based on emotion and not the written law.
Any future Obama or Hillary will simply apply a little sophistry in the executive order and “deem” all AR-15 and AK pattern rifles to be NFA items.
It's quite revealing that as recently as a few years ago on Democratic Underground, the standard reply to the rare poster defending gun rights there was, "Don't be ao paranoid, no one wants to take any of your guns. We just want to ban sales and transfers of assault weapons and high capacity magazines."
Now, it's "Confiscate all semiautos from their cold dead hands! Every single one!"
