(Quoting myself from earlier....) Trump said (verbatim): “I directed Attorney General to clarify whether certain bumpstock devices like the one used in Las Vegas are illegal under current law Bumpstocks are not illegal under current law. They fire one round per function of the trigger. Furthermore... “...I signed a memorandum directing Attorney General to propose regulations to ban all devices that turn legal weapons into machine guns.” Meaning.... Abso-FUCK’N-lutely NOTHING!!!!!! Devices that turn legal weapons into machine guns ARE already illegal. View Quote Trump says hey, I told them to ban anything that turns guns into machine guns. Bump stocks don't do that per THE ATF definition of a machine gun. Therefore, nothing is banned. |

Quoted:
I'm not reading 47 pages except to say that I hope we all realize that our president knows what bump stocks are, probably due to his son, and probably didn't just do this on a whim. And secondly I don't think a bump stock ban is going anywhere, it has to happen in the legislature, the ATF already said they can't do this, it doesn't matter if they are ordered to review it again or not. You all went crazy when w said he would support an AWB ban if it Congress sent one to him, knowing full well it would never come to his desk. I'm not saying he was lying, but both of them could be using the same tactic. We all know that this is a nothingburger gimme for Huckabee to use from her pulpit. Don't let Trump support turn into a Libertarian movement destroying ideology where if it's not pure capital L then it's nothing. Perfect is the enemy of good enough, and as long as no ban on bump stocks ever materializes I think we need to give the president a couple of weeks to see how things play out. View Quote |

This. The big problem with "assault weapons" bans is that they have no impact on crime, and the lack of impact leads to the next ban. Ban "assault weapons", nothing changes, liberals cry that we need a different ban. View Quote NOTHING WILL EVER SATISFY THE BANNERS. |

1986 Hughes Amend Passes = all post 86 Machine guns are illegal for private ownership
Gun market reacts to Hughes = devices that simulate machine gun like rates of fire while still keeping semi auto For years ATF says bump stock and other devices are legal = thousands of these devices are made and sold Machine gun value continues to climb = machine guns with more controlled purchase process become impossible for most $20-30,000 machine gun prices = more bump stock like devices are produced and sold than ever before Shootings = Political Theater Bump stock = machine gun Post 86 machine gun = illegal for private ownership Constitutional requirements says the Gov has to give you due compensation to seize the now illegal item = $20-30,000 value item each since it's a machine gun Potential solution = repeal Hughes Amend and remove the NFA tax, allow free registration on form 1 for existing devices and the machine gun sales line for Post 86 guns is now open, allowing the republicans to claim a win and Trump to say he created that improved background check system for the purchase of such devices, all while saying they reclassified bump stocks to make them harder to purchase and improving the odds of catching a non qualified buyer because of the review done on NFA purchases. |

Underestimating your adversary is always a serious mistake. Judges have been referencing tweets and statements made by the Predident and Candidate Trump, to inform their rulings on immigration issues. We can say that his statements are 4d Chess, and that in the end, he won’t follow through with regulations or legislation. But stating that an AWB is “not off the table” is a bad thing. I remember when GWB claimed that he would sign and AWB, if it made it to his desk. Many here did not see that as 4d Chess. Quite the opposite. |
