Sounds like he signed a memo telling Jeff sessions to make a bill to put to Congress.

So not an outright ban

How is Trump going to go against the NRA on gun issues?
It doesn't help that Wayne came out against bump stocks after the Vegas shooting.

Fuck Trump I was one of his biggest supporters but fuck him. He is an idiot, he stands to gain nothing from this. The left will never give him credit for doing something they want. All he is doing is selling out his base.

Only way this could be 4D chess is if..

Bump stocks are now NFA items classified as machine guns, and because of this the NFA registry is now open to all new machine guns not just in bump stock form, and the tax stamp is dropped to $0 with a maximum 30 day wait for issue.

But I highly doubt that, however I would accept that

Naw.  Bump stocks were banned when the NRA came out against them.  Only the details were up in the air.

The rumors were that somebody was leaning on Sessions (DOJ) to lean on ATF to re-evaluate bump stocks.   ATF wanted no part of it.   I would say this more or less confirms those rumors.

Trump didn't think of this on his own.   He isn't a "gun guy."   His son is but he isn't.    No, somebody he trusts on guns fed this idea to him.    Anybody want to guess who?

It is an interesting choice of words.  He is throwing this back at the DOJ.  We don't know what is in that memo.  DOJ/Sessions could come back and say, by the color of the law, there is no legal way to ban bump stocks w/out passing new laws or modifying the language of what makes a machine gun, a machine gun.  Again, I'm not happy with Trump if this is what it appears, but Trump has been good to us this far with MAGA, so I'll wait and see what happens.

This is a very slippery slope.

If Trump enacts a federal ban on something as innocuous as the simple piece of plastic that a bumpstock is, it opens the door to banning all sorts of other AR upgrades and will constitute the biggest mistake and betrayal that he has made since he announced his presidential run.

It can also buy time to allow the CNN lies to start hitting the mainstream, like the kid who seems to be in a lot of CNN stories.

Also lets the Russia story get further out that shows the MSM was a pawn of Russian meddling and that the division they cry about is actually them being played.

Does no one here realize that doing nothing in the face of these tragedies is untenable?

Mark my words, if more school shootings happen during his admin where some loser nutjob shoots up bunch of kids again, Trump will do way more than bump stock bans.

Most of you never compromisers don't realize we live in woke times, and social media and public opinion means way more than it has ever in human history.

Either gunowners lead the charge and come up with reasoned solutions ourselves or we'll get some terrible bans headed our way.

I rather see conversation headed toward better mental health screening for gun purchases and ways to harden schools (ex. trained, armed, vetted adult teachers/coaches in schools) rather than some hardened 'no' when no is not an acceptable alternative to the majority.   Keep that no compromise attitude up and we'll get what we deserve.

Never happen. The ruling elite will never allow the NFA to open back up nor be removed.
I personally think Trump is only a believer in the 2nd to get elected. He said what he needed to say, but back to back shootings were too much for him.
Trump is all about image, in his mind he will look back if he doesn't do "something" after these mass shootings. The left will never like him, something he seems to not understand.
I voted for him, may voted for him again but this is a betrayal.
2018 just got a lot harder for republicans and in that, Trump's MAGA agenda.

Obama would have if he could have but 41F was all he could pull off. Trump can't do this by EO either to my knowledge, all he did is write a memo to the DOJ who can't write legislation, they only enforce.

There are only two potential outocomes here:   either ATF comes out and says, again, "these aren't machine guns" or they are being forced by DOJ (by Sessions via Trump) to say "O.k., they are machine guns."

Those are the only two conclusions from where I sit.

Neither of those came from Trump.   He isn't a gun guy.   We know that.   We also know of one institution that came out and recommended exactly what he is saying here.

The only question remains:  which of the two outcomes will we get?

Either way, we know who is behind this and either this is Eleventeen-D Chess on an epic level or we just got sold out by the largest gun rights organization in the country.

I don't which will happen but we're going to find out real soon.

Bad optics for sure, but the devil may be in the details here.
Quite likely the response to his memo is “Mr President, such devices are already regulated or prohibited, and our finding is that bumpfire stocks do not convert legal semi-automatic rifles into machine guns”

I might be overly optimistic, but I’m gonna hold on to the hope of MAGA.
