On December 22, 2017, Breitbart News reported that the ATF was taking comment on their intention to change the definition of “machinegun” so as to include a firearm that is not a “machinegun” as well. This would allow them to use the National Firearms Act (1934) to regulate machineguns and non-machineguns in the same way, which would allow them to treat simple firearm accessories and actual firearm conversion devices the same.
Currently, bump stocks are not regulated because Barack Obama’s ATF evaluated them and noted that they do not convert the action of a semiautomatic into that of an automatic. Even with a bump stock, a semiautomatic rifle only fires one round per each pull of the trigger. The ATF seeks to circumvent this fact by changing the definition of words, thereby allowing itself to regulate conversion devices and non-conversion devices alike.
The ATF took public comment on this backdoor bump stock gun control through January 25, 2018, and The Trace, a gun control journalism outlet, reports that 85 percent of respondents opposed the proposed controls.
The Trace examined 32,000 of the comments and found that only 13 percent favored the regulatory gun control. They noted that Gun Owners of America was the predominant gun rights organization fighting against the backdoor gun control, while Gabby Giffords’s gun control group was central in the unsuccessful effort to stir up support for a bump stock ban. breitbart.com/politics/2018/02/07/atf-received-36000-comments-bump-stock-control-nearly-9-10-oppose/
Will they ban rubberbrands too, you can make full auto with those, as long as you have imagination. That whole thing is shit, its meant to cover more than its selling. It would be hard to make a law that bans bumpies, how do you even define it... thats what i want to know

>85% of Public
I don't think 85% of the public is aware of WTF you are talking about. 276 Million people are against... what? Shit they have no idea about?

Doesn't matter any way. Everyone I know that even googled bumpstock lost their computer in a boating accident.

>Sawed off shotguns have been illegal for years since when? it's just a tax stamp my dude, the fucked up thing is I have a NFA trust and can buy all the machine guns, suppressors and shorty shot guns i can afford, but Thanks to Trump I cant buy a bump stock
Think about that for a minute, a plastic stock, that doesn't have a magazine or fire a bullet will now be classified as a automatic firearm that I cant buy a stamp for or be grandfathered in
ATF estimates there are over 500K law abiding bumpstock owners, Now Trump wants to make them felons
Just put a section of dowel in your AR 15 bolt carrier and a fresh mag when you release the bolt catch it will fire the entire mag like an open bolt full auto. You make the buffer and spring contact the firing pin with the dowel so when the bolt face locks up with a fresh round the firing pin hits it and cycles automatically. In minecraft.
Well he’s got to cause some sort of controversy with guns, the NRA is at it’s lowest donation levels in decades.

either glow or keep the toothpaste. dont hold sides
you can load a lot of modern rifles "mauser" style, you keep banning something people will find a way over, even pump action shotguns, see how fast you can reload them if you want to, last state is to ban the gun to reload at all.
also new captcha is supershit, i had circumvented it for 3 years, now it has come to roost.
Despite the fact that the Obama administration approved the sale of bump fire stocks on at least two occasions, the National Rifle Association is calling on the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) to immediately review whether these devices comply with federal law. The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semi-automatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations. home.nra.org/joint-statement
