Bump Stocks

[Fulltimer]

So, the President just ordered the Attorney General to declare bump stocks illegal.

"Just a few moments ago I signed a memo directing the attorney general to propose regulations that ban all devices that turn legal weapons into machine guns,"

On Friday, a Department of Justice statement said if the rule change is made, bump stocks and similar devices would be "required to surrender, destroy or otherwise render the devices permanently inoperable."

Are we getting ready to pry some cold dead fingers from the bump stocks?

Is this the tyrannical government the 2nd Amendment is written for?

There you go with another half truth, Don. From your own quote, Trump's ordered him to PROPOSE REGULATIONS, not declare illegal.

You are correct. They would not be declared illegal but everyone possessing one would be ordered to "surrender, destroy or otherwise render the devices permanently inoperable". While that is pretty well close to illegal, it only means possessing one is illegal.

Shortly after Trump's tweet, Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced that the Justice Department would clarify rules that define bump stocks within the definition of "machine gun" under federal law, a move that would ban the sale of such accessories.

So, is this the "Line too far" for the 2nd Amendment folks?

There are techniques as effective as bump-stocks for rapid fire using just a finger. Should we turn in our fingers or render them inoperable as well?

Rhetorical questions know no limits.

Ask your President. That is his demand.

He is also the one that said: "take the firearms first and then go to court".

I am always decent but I may ask pointed questions from time to time.

Would you care to comment on President Trump's ordering Attorney General Sessions to take action against bump stocks?

Are any of you making sense out of any of this?

It seems to me that trying to regulate bump stocks is a backhanded way to regulate morality and it cannot be done.
