Good
This could take quite a while.
Ok, ban future sales. How about getting the ones all the ammosexuals will run out and buy before the ban?
Stupid! Stupid! Stupid move on their part! This invalidates literally ALL of their rationale for reversing every last one of President Obama’s achievements. They have claimed loudyly and proudly that Pres. Obama did not have the executive authority to do what he did in order to safeguard the public interest. Now this??? It’s almost like they’re just asking for Obama to come back into office.
Am I the only person who doesn’t believe the Trump regime will actually ban bump stocks in a legally sustainable way? I’ll bet this is a subterfuge to slap together an easily reversed change that a court can reverse, and to discourage congressional action.
Perhaps but do you see Congress doing anything? I sure as hell dont
I wonder if “you know who” wants to also outlaw Gat Cranks?
It’s faster and deadlier because it doesn’t hinder accuracy like a bump stock.
And it costs less than $50! Good times.
I’m betting the same. Either they’ll write up some baloney that gets struck down by quotes from their very own ATF lawyers, or they’ll write something that purports to ban bump stocks but actually doesn’t. (I’m betting on the latter because of Sessions’s carefully weasel-worded
not allow the bump stock to convert a weapon from semiautomatic to fully automatic
They’ll come up with a definition of “convert” or “fully automatic” that somehow doesn’t apply and call it success.
I wish a reporter would corner a gun-lover politician and ask if now is the time to discuss Sandy Hook? It was a little over 5 years ago, so has enough time passed for it to be appropriate to discuss ways to prevent another Sandy Hook?
On the other hand there is a bill banning the sell of assault type weapons in Congress except for those weapons currently legally owned. Owners can continue to own them and sell them.
And there is this information that took place right after the Vegas shooting.
I am not encouraged
Also not the attached drum magazine that holds 100 rounds and is prefectly legal and inexpensive to purchase.
This inexpensive drums are also available for Glock pistols.
The single ray of sunhine here is that consumer AR 15s (and Glocks) are not designed for such rapid fire and quickly heat up and lock up. This was evidently a problem for Stephan Paddock who at least partially solved the problem with mulitple bump stocked AR 15s.
It wasn’t just AR-15s. He had, from the photos I saw, at least a half-dozen different makes of semi-automatic assault rifles. That’s a not minor issue that is getting lost here, I think, in this constant reference to AR-15s. HK, rifles used by various NATO forces, make and sell assault rifles in the U.S. Knock-offs of the AK47 are still available.
Sucking chest wound, meet spider web bandage.
I’d like 1000 times if I could.
If you raise the age a citizen can buy a gun to 21, you must also raise the age of majority to 21, which includes the voting age.
Why?
Talk is cheap.
So far, Republicans have done nothing about Vegas, and nothing about Florida.
Nothing, but empty promises.
This will take so long that everybody who wants a bump stock will have bought 3. Banning such a thing is less meaningful than banning large-capacity magazines. And how does the DOJ make any of this happen without the corrupted and impotent Congress?
