Just think what might have happened with Buckwheat still in the White House - or Hillary!

There were eleven mass shootings that involved the deaths of eight or more people while Obama was in office, 23 mass murders incidents involving the deaths of eight or more people while Bill Clinton was in office. They didn't do sht.
I think our current administration is so paranoid of loosing voter support they could do anything. Hand writing is on the wall, it'll be Trump that chips away at our gun rights.
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!
So you blame inanimate objects. Got it.
Not at all. Just not a fan of lawyer mentality. I blame lack of enforcing of laws already in place there to stop a nutjob that should have never been able to purchase his weapon given what we know. Hardly inanimate. Look, I am just not a fan of some legalistic technicality granting permission to ignore a law's intent. For instance, Hillary an co. turning in hard drives wiped clean of info. She still technically turned them in so I guess that is ok? I prefer to judge individual issues on their merit with my own yardstick rather than crowd mentality knee jerking. To me bump stocks skirt the law without 'technically' breaking it. I never like my kids giving responses like this and guess it stayed with me.

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.
A "well regulated militia" should be legally entitled to machine-guns...don't you think?
Yes.
At the time the Constitution was penned and adopted and amendments were ratified, the government didn't own any arms that the citizens didn't or couldn't possess as well.
THAT is the letter and intent of that amendment.
Very true and I get so tired of hearing people talk about whether or not a gun has a "sporting purpose". That has zero bearing on it's legitimacy!
Biden's most truthful quote ever came during his first press conference, 03/25/21. Drum roll please...... "I don't know, to be clear." and THAT is one promise he's kept!!!
None of these devices do that. The legal definition of machine gun is very narrow and concise about what makes it a machine gun
The government plans these shootings by targeting kids from kindergarten that the government thinks they can control with drugs until the appropriate time--DerbyDude
Whatever. Tell the oompa loompa's hey for me. [/quote]. LtPPowell
I sure as hell hope that he is doing this so that he can "control" the situation........ I guess if I had to offer up a sacrificial lamb, bump stocks would do, but I HATE to see ANY anti gun legislation of any type..... I hope he is doing this to: 1. Do something in the way of gun control to shut up the bleeding heart liberals, even if it isn't much. 2. Control the situation by acting first before they force him to do more.
I'd hate to see him bow down to these ldiots!!!!!!
I sure could go for some $2.50/gal gas and a mean tweet!

If the shooter in Vegas had used disciplined fire and aimed the number of deaths would've been twice as high. The bump stock was "impressive " to the un educated and the media only. I won't miss them when they are gone. But, I agree its a slippery slope. kwg

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.

BINGO
I cant believe how many self proclaimed "HUNTERS" are calling talk shows and just dont see the need for Semi Autos
One POS called Tom Sullivan yesterday and talked about how superior he was because he hunted with a pump shot gun and bolt rifle he actually said that when someone showed up with a semi auto he turned his back on them
WHAT A F'EN POS
When I waterfowl hunt I use a SX3 semi I guess I am a jackwagon I hunt with a bolt but there are many guys here in MI hunting with a 450 Bushmaster upper on an AR lower No issues And Yes I LOVE shooting ARs If you dont want one fine if you want mine FU
If you own and AR or not you are in the fight, If you are thinking
I am just sick of this crap

Not that it matters, but does anyone even want a bump stock? I've never heard of anyone that does.
Ask that to all the dumazzes bidding on Gunbroker. Prices are going north of $700, for a piece of plastic.
I guess they don’t know you can accomplish the exact same effect with a wood dowel of the right length. You can even affix it to the stock if you don’t want to have to deal with carrying the dowel separately.
