If only they had banned these when the Las Vegas Massacre happened, all those kids in Florida would still be alive......... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Trump signs memo recommending AG Sessions ban bump stocks — devices that turn weapons into 'machine guns' Dan Mangan President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that he has recommended that "bump stocks," or devices used to make semi-automatic weapons capable of firing hundreds of rounds per minute, be banned. Trump said he has signed a memorandum recommending that Attorney General Jeff Sessions declare that bump stocks are illegal. The gunman who killed 58 people and wounded hundreds of others in Las Vegas in October had at least 12 rifles fitted with bump stocks, Link.

Well, at least he hasn't signed the memo to put people on the no-fly list into NICS like he promised to.
Well, he hasn't signed it yet.
Into court we go.. pretty sure the statute states a machinegun is a gun that fires multiple rounds per pull of the trigger, and we have at least 2 ATF determinations that the bump stock is not a machinegun. So will they manage to create new law via regulation?

Not that it matters, but does anyone even want a bump stock? I've never heard of anyone that does.

I know I will be flamed for this but....
I always felt bump stocks were in violation of the spirit of that law banning full auto. I don't really have much of a problem with them being outlawed.
Along those lines I love blowing the crap out of stuff with tannerite just as much as the next guy. Am I comfortable knowing it is so easily available? Nope!

More winning.
Imagine the outcry on the fire if Obama would have done this.

Actually, I'll agree to making them registered like machineguns if they'll remove the unConstitutional 1986 ban on selling new machineguns to civilians. See, I'm willing to have a conversation. Give and take.

All I'm saying is pick your battles. Bump stock ain't one of them. I understand it's a typical knee-jerk reaction, but I won't lose sleep over it. They're just gimmicky, useless things nobody wants.

That's funny, The ATF has exactly the opposite view.

are ya worried about yourself? LOL Folks just don't get it. Punish the crime, not the tool..... I"d be fine if full auto, and explosives were available over the counter. Just hammer the hell out of folks that violate all the otehr laws... it would work...

"That process began in December, and just a few moments ago I signed a memorandum directing the attorney general to propose regulations to ban all devices that turn legal weapons into machine guns," Trump said. I wonder if binary triggers will included in the "all devices" categories?
