Exactly.

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.

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.

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.

Bills go through Congress. He can talk and suggest but congress has to write and pass.

Everybody write your congressman. Lots. Tell them they will lose votes if anybody does any kind of gun control. If it will cost them their seats they won't do it, and sometimes all it takes is a handful of congressmen on the right committees to kill a bill.

You are correct.

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.

I’ve honestly been expecting the ATF to come back with a completely different ruling on bump stocks than their previous ones. If DJT goes along with it who in the swamp would challenge the ruling legally?

I was one of Trump's biggest cheerleaders. Trump sold us out, now we just have to wait and see how bad. I still think he is the best republican who could overcome the media and get in office. If we nominated Cruz or Kasich we'd be dealing with Hillary in office and the house and Senate under Democrat control.

Trump was the only republican who could stir up the youth vote. The people who posted memes showing the media saying one thing and then completely contradicting themselves to bash Trump, the people who posted independent news articles about Clinton's corruption while the main stream media was brushing it off and telling people not to read her emails. Cruz was never going to bring those people in.

You and many other people are believing and thinking in a manner that government actually follows the written intentions of the law. That they look at this as a mechanical issue just as we do. Government does not operate off logic; it operates off emotion and manipulated public opinion.

Look at the Massachusetts Attorney General and how she reinterpreted the Massachusetts assault weapons ban.

The Hughes Amendment thing is amusing to me:

> "Machine guns aren't protected by the 2A because they're not in common use!"
> Machine guns (more or less) banned from civilian ownership, ergo can't be in common use because of the ban.

Not protected because they're banned. Banned because they're not protected.



Gun control begets itself from time to time.

Yeah, but we should fight it anyways, and make it a defensive battle for them.

Quoted:

I was one of Trump's biggest cheerleaders. Trump sold us out, now we just have to wait and see how bad. I still think he is the best republican who could overcome the media and get in office. If we nominated Cruz or Kasich we'd be dealing with Hillary in office and the house and Senate under Democrat control.

Trump was the only republican who could stir up the youth vote. The people who posted memes showing the media saying one thing and then completely contradicting themselves to bash Trump, the people who posted independent news articles about Clinton's corruption while the main stream media was brushing it off and telling people not to read her emails. Cruz was never going to bring those people in.

Anyone who thinks / thought that Trumpf would not throw gun rights under the Bus to build his Wall has very little political perception ..

THIS.  So much THIS.

P.S. can anyone remind me what that thing about the Hillary campaign and the FBI was again?

Oh nevermind, that's old news now.  The important thing is that the NRA is the root of all evil in America.

Yes, a swat team came to my house and took everything but a bolt action and revolver.
