Trump directs AG to ban bump stocks

[ekim]

Let's see if the NRA steps up with a law suit....

They should...

But odds are they won't.

 

[FireInTheWire]

The proposed rule requires the possessor to either destroy of the device or turn in for destruction with no compensation.

Well... I'm against that for sure.

 

[Wildcat Diva]

Are they gonna ban my belt loops too?

 

[deemus]

No he said he would never pay for one. He didn't say anything about banning them. Understanding what is is written is a plus.

If he doesn't care that they get banned, then he hates freedom. Plain and simple. Bump stocks now, but what is next? Neither of us knows the answer to that. But if you lay down on one issue, there WILL be another issue.

That is part of the problem with the gun community. "I only like shotguns, don't care if anything else gets banned." Actually heard a guy say that. Ask the english guys about that mentality.

I would bet that SAF initiated those law suits and the NRA jumped on board.

You've just articulated why I'm a life member with the SAF and when I donate extra money to the cause it almost always goes to them.

Lol the NRA (namely Marion Hammer) was an advocate for the ban. Their hack job statement pretty much argued bump stocks were the same thing as a Drop In Auto Sear + M16 FCG.

The NRA is more vocal in the media and has the most members, therefore they are a good spearhead. The SAF does their talking through court action.

And that's why I'm a Golden Eagle with the NRA.

Then depending upon folks there may or may not be court cases filed against the ruling. Do like the liberals do and go court district shopping where the administrative ruling may be overturned.

You can, and probably will, post/link all kinds of stuff from the NRA site tootin' their own horn. Still doesn't change the fact, that to my recollection the NRA itself has not filed as the plaintiff of record on anything defending, or expanding our Second Amendment Rights. From what I've seen, they have a habit of grabbin' onto the coattails of higher profile cases that will generate good publicity for them as they take the credit for winning whatever case it was.


They have become a compromise organization that is slowly, but steadily pissin' away our Rights while they get richer off our dues and donations. IF I had known the organization that I joined as a life member was going to turn into the organization it has become, my money would've went GOA or SAF.

I don’t usually get calls asking for money from anyone but somehow the NRA called the other day. Nice lady, and I tried not to shoot the messenger, but I gave her an earful. I discussed bump stocks and other things. I’m a life member but that’s all they’ll get from me, and I let her know.

They've probably been calling me too, but Obama Presidential Library hasn't contacted me with any messages.

They don’t even properly describe how a bump stock works.

Hasn't been posted to the federal register yet, but one it does all you illegal machine-gun owners will have 90 days to destroy or surrender your property without compensation.

Actually, fun idea... Lets surrender all our belt loops, shoe laces, and coat hangers to the nearest ATF office. I'm sure they have to issue receipts and take inventory for all that crap.

 

[Shady]

I hope they get 0 of anything turned in.

 

[jrbfishn]

If it doesn't meet the definition of the laws, redefine the definition until it does and it becomes illegal.
Not a good precedent if allowed to stand.

I don't really have an interest in bump stocks, but I hope the lawyers are standing by with law suits.
