Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Trump Signs Memo To Ban Bump Stocks.

I'll NOT leave a Bro in a chitstorm my friend Mag!

So,,, what I am reading here is some people don't want or need "bump stocks" so they think it is OK to ban them from the guys that do.
Remember those BS guys have guns, and are gun owners too, and all gun owners should stand together, divide and conquer.
Sadly it doesn't work that way.

Never had heard of them, nor have I ever seen one except in the media, but any ban is another step in the wrong direction.

Sheep following the herder, like a good flock.

I believe there are more that understand this than do not.

It's the same way the original AR ban got legs.

So how many of you have actually read the memo? He does not order the banning of bump stocks. He ask the DOJ to tell the ATF
to continue with its previous rulings in bump stocks and to review the comments it got and issue an opinion as to the legality of bump stocks within
the regulations as written.
Then, he directs the DOJ to make sure to regulate all devices that turn legal firearms into illegal machine guns.

Speaking of knee-jerk reactions...............

Bet ya a million push ups you won’t say that to his face....gunner don’t play

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...

This is the problem with electing a city boy.

I've shot alongside him at several matches over the past several years and he is extremely down to earth.

I don't need a Bump stock anyway,

Nor fancy drinks with little umbrellas, skinny jeans, Thai food, cheap beer, camo toilet paper, fat girls, Pit Bulls...make them illegal too.

If the ATF ruled that a shoestring turned a Garand into a machine gun, I’ve never understood how bump stocks made it through the process. Approving them was so out of character for the Obama administration, I think they may have just done it hoping that someone would use one in a massacre. It would certainly fit with the way they acted in Fast and Furious.

(FAIRFAX, VA) - The National Rifle Association today issued the following statement:

"In the aftermath of the evil and senseless attack in Las Vegas, the American people are looking for answers as to how future tragedies can be prevented. Unfortunately, the first response from some politicians has been to call for more gun control. Banning guns from law-abiding Americans based on the criminal act of a madman will do nothing to prevent future attacks. This is a fact that has been proven time and again in countries across the world. In Las Vegas, reports indicate that certain devices were used to modify the firearms involved. Despite the fact that the Obama administration approved the sale of bump fire stocks on at least two occasions, the National Rifle Association is calling on the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) to immediately review whether these devices comply with federal law. The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semi-automatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations. In an increasingly dangerous world, the NRA remains focused on our mission: strengthening Americans' Second Amendment freedom to defend themselves, their families and their communities. To that end, on behalf of our five million members across the country, we urge Congress to pass National Right-to-Carry reciprocity, which will allow law-abiding Americans to defend themselves and their families from acts of violence."

"Today, I am directing the Department of Justice to dedicate all available resources to complete the review of the comments received, and, as expeditiously as possible, to propose for notice and comment a rule banning all devices that turn legal weapons into machineguns."


There ya have it.
