So Thanks for telling me I’m right. Nobody hates gun control more than me. I am making the point that Trump feels this is a nothing burger trade off. Which in reality it is. Even though I personally think everyone who wants a bump stock should have one. And it’s unlawful as a bump stock does not turn a rifle into an automatic weapon. Likely someone will present a court challenge.
I’m far more concerned about the ATF looking at parts kits for lowers.
“Likely someone will present a court challenge.”
GOA has already filed, and there is at least one other I can’t recall. I don’t think the federal courts really care about the law, however. They’ll rule however they want to rule and what the law says will not be part of their thought process.
“I’m far more concerned about the ATF looking at parts kits for lowers.”
I agree fully with your statement. I have a Franklin Arms Armory binary trigger in two of my AR-15 lower receivers. To get them to run right in rapid fire, I did have to do a bit of tuning with different buffer weights and recoil spring swaps to prevent bolt carrier bounce, but once I got that sorted, they are better than a bump stock for simulated full auto fire. IO can run them reliably at close to a 700 round per minute rate.
I suppose binary triggers will be the next part that BATF deems top be a “machine gun.” I live in Georgia, and I thank GOD that that gun grabbing semi-comnmie, Stacy Abrams did not get elected here.
The problem, in addition to the President ignoring separation of powers, is that it isn’t a “trade off” if you don’t get anything in return. There’s no quid pro quo here. There’s just quid.
This term, we were supposed to get suppressors off the NFA and national reciprocity on concealed carry permits. Instead, we got an illegal executive bump stock ban and Fix NICS.
