Hopefully it will stick, but I think the Obama era justice dept. didn’t do this because they felt it would lose in a court challenge, and I think it’s a safe bet that the NRA will be doing just that.

Why, that dirty rat. Stabbed all the Nationalist Real Americans in the back. …

(Waiting for the NRA to suggest "Second Amendment Solutions… {crickets} …

Thought so.)

Does “court supervision” mean they get to look at the books?

Bump stocks are relatively rare, especially relative to other gun products that accomplish the same thing. I’m willing to bet these other products aren’t part of the ban.

Wasn’t there a regulatory or legal conflict that made it harder than it seemed to just ban the damn things? I seem to recall reading that somewhere. If they’ve cleared that up, good for them.

I tried to look it up, but it’s all new articles and they sort of gloss over it. I think that it was because they were ruled an accessory and therefore not subject to federal law.

Rings a bell. As @bankerpup points out, there’s a whole kind of shadowy cottage industry involved in full-auto conversions for assault rifles. Bump stocks may go, but massacres are here to stay.

But what will we tell the children?

There’s a small possibility there won’t be a lawsuit simply because bump stocks – under that name at least – have become toxic. But the 2010 analysis is hard to get around.

It’s here! The pivot is here at last!

Hold the ball for me, Lucy. I’m going to kick that thing a mile.

It won’t matter. Anybody who wanted one of these already has one, and let’s see how far the government gets with forcing these people to surrender them. This is another case of the least Trump could do.

I am wondering how Trump’s base will spin this to themselves. Clearly, they can not give up their devotion to either Trump or guns.

Look how far the mighty NRA has fallen. The guy they funneled all that Russian money to is actually doing something sensible about guns.

And the Trump Org is folding.

And Donnie is already blinking on the shutdown

And it’s only Tuesday.
