I will be strongly pushing Comprehensive Background Checks with an emphasis on Mental Health. Raise age to 21 and end sale of Bump Stocks! Congress is in a mood to finally do something on this issue - I hope!

Update 4: "Just a few moments ago I signed a memo directing the attorney general to propose regulations that ban all devices that turn legal weapons into machine guns," Trump said at a Medal of Valor event at the White House. "I expect these regulations to be finalized, Jeff, very soon," Trump said.

Update 5: Press Secretary says Trump hasn't closed the door on an AWB yet in regards to reporter question @ 10:55

Update 9: Trump speaking live now:
"We are talking about common sense. We are talking about rules and regulations for purchasing. We are talking about changing an age from 18 to 21. So they buy a revolver at the age of 21....and yet these other weapons we talk about, they are allowed to buy them at 18. So how does that make sense? How does that make sense? So I say they should all be 21. And the NRA will back it. And so will Congress. And so will the Senate"


READ THE MEMO BEFORE COMMENTING

Wording of his memo:

MEMORANDUM FOR THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

SUBJECT:

Application of the Definition of Machinegun to "Bump Fire" Stocks and Other Similar Devices

After the deadly mass murder in Las Vegas, Nevada, on October 1, 2017, I asked my Administration to fully review how the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives regulates bump fire stocks and similar devices.

Although the Obama Administration repeatedly concluded that particular bump stock type devices were lawful to purchase and possess, I sought further clarification of the law restricting fully automatic machineguns.

Accordingly, following established legal protocols, the Department of Justice started the process of promulgating a Federal regulation interpreting the definition of "machinegun" under Federal law to clarify whether certain bump stock type devices should be illegal. The Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking was published in the Federal Register on December 26, 2017. Public comment concluded on January 25, 2018, with the Department of Justice receiving over 100,000 comments.

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.

Although I desire swift and decisive action, I remain committed to the rule of law and to the procedures the law prescribes. Doing this the right way will ensure that the resulting regulation is workable and effective and leaves no loopholes for criminals to exploit. I would ask that you keep me regularly apprised of your progress.

You are authorized and directed to publish this memorandum in the Federal Register.

DONALD J. TRUMP

In.

sorry your girl lost

shill

not tired of winning

Sarah sanders quote from news conference still going on

ATF is going to take action in a few days

No, but it will make me like him less.

The same way he "wanted" DACA amnesty?

Ask Chuckie Schumer how that worked out.

Aw shit bitch!

Yup

Oh for fucks sake

That about covers it!
Thread needs nuked. obviously #fakenews gtfo of here op

God damnit.

And GD ASSURED me that nothing would be done on a federal level.

Sarah said it

If this is winning then I think I am tired of it

Oh well...at least its not an AWB I guess?

In on 1?

Can we get a source though?

Well, ok.

Now Im in a shitty mood.

Inch by inch. Where we go one, we go all... In retreat.

Not happy right now.

Nah, he has a son that has guns.  So it's not possible.  I also thought the Two Amendment was his favorite one...

?

I’ll wait until something actually happens to get outraged.

Um okay?

In for the shit show.

I fail to see the strategy here.....its going to make his base like him less, the left is still going to hate him.....I guess he has been watching too much Fox News and CNN and fell for the bullshit?

In on the dupe that's now official.

Bears repeating...Rs are excellent obstructionists to D majority but suck at being the majority.

Open to options can also mean telling the FBI to do their damn jobs.

Not panicking unless djtjr gets disowned.

If it's true, I wonder if he'll use leftist logic and tactics to attack Rand Paul and others that dare oppose him on it...

Talking about making real change. Ya, good luck getting re-elected after tossing your most hardcore supporters under the bus

Matters nothing to me. If the liberals can be appeased by taking a gimmick off the market I see it as a win.

Standing by to see what really happens.

Better be a F'n joke.

So did it come from Trump's lips?

That's it. I'm going to give up and saw cut all of my guns.

So it continues.

This is not maga.

His press secretary

He's also meeting with victims and law enforcement to figure out what else needs to be done

Already banned in Ca for many years. You guys need to catch up.

uh, just reported on bloomberg that he's signed a memo banning bump stocks...

If it was Sarah saying it, it could just be testing the waters to see what reaction it gets.  And then playing the "noooooooo I never said that" after.

Hard to tell.
