So, Trump’s DOJ unilaterally and unlawfully banned bump stocks. This could be done by congress, I would think. But I don’t know that this will stand. In other news, if you have a bumpstock, you’ll be a felon in 90 days if you don’t turn it in or destroy it. So, where’s my national reciprocity […]

Trump Administration Set to Announce Pointless, Legally Dubious Bump Stock Ban WizardPC: I was promised National Reciprocity and the Hearing Protection Act. I got a bumpstock ban.

I interrupt a blogging break for this breaking news. It appears that the Department of Justice is about to ban bump stocks. I say about to because the Final Action is slated for the imaginary date of 12/00/2018. The new rule: This rule is intended to clarify that the statutory definition of machinegun includes certain […]

A year after Vegas shooting, ATF emails reveal blame, alarm over bump stocks. ATF stated they were suddenly thrown into the political by NRA, who pointed out they were ATF approved.

The Democrat said: Dean said in an interview last week that banning bump stocks, increasing the purchasing age for assault-style weapons to 21 and bolstering the state’s background check system were “reasonable proposals.” And the Republican said: I dont think that we should look at more restrictions and more regulations on gun ownership

Judge Temporarily Blocks Columbus Bump Stock Ban

I’m sure this will go well: Department of Justice moves to ban bump stocks, classifying them as ‘machine guns’ under federal law One would think that this would be something the Congress would have to do. But now that we’re ruled by unelected bureaucrats, that’s not required. And the president told them to do it.

So, Denver banned bump stocks. Now, they’re surprised no one is turning them in.

Walmart will no longer sell rifles to those under 21. Dick’s Sporting Goods will no longer sell “assault rifles” which is kind of surprising because if they were selling “assault rifles” that would have been illegal. FedEx didn’t abandon the NRA but issued some silly statement supporting gun control. So, I kind of laughed today […]

A bill to ban bump stocks. Will they ban 3D printing too?

He says to take guns first then due process. Then he says background checks won’t pass if national reciprocity is attached. Sorry, but I want something in return. After, he says respect the second amendment. And he wants to administratively ban bump stocks. Again, I want something in return. Trump appears to just make mouth […]

Florida gun show sees record attendance. Good. I just ordered a bump stock because Donald Trump says I shouldn’t have one. Sure, that issue is a political loser for us. And it won’t break my heart provided we get something in return. But I’m the uppity sort that buys things people want to ban.

Prominent republican donor says Republicans should pass a ban on guns to keep getting money. Given his history of backing the losers, meh. Trey Gowdy supports banning bump stocks, even though one wasn’t used in FL. The idiocy does need to be mocked. Just yours. John Kasich: If all the sudden you couldn’t buy an […]

The Trace, on noting that only 13% of respondents to ATF’s bumpstock request support gun control, gets a little butthurt: The results of our analysis showcase a paradox of the gun debate. While widespread public support exists for many gun regulations and policies from bump stocks to background checks pro-gun advocates are significantly more active […]

House bill 1407 would ban funds from being used to enforce federal gun controls, making TN a second amendment sanctuary city. Well, why not? If everyone can selectively enforce the laws the want, why not the good guys? And another bill has been introduced to ban bump stocks.

The ATF has proposed a rule to ban bump stocks at the Federal Register. They would like comments from industry types and gun owners. You can submit your comment here.

The ATF is looking to classify bump stocks as machine guns: Tomorrow, ATF will publish an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking regarding the application of the definition of machinegun to Bump Fire stocks and other similar devices. As many have feared, it appears that the regulatory agency is soliciting information to help draft a rule […]

Justice and ATF are looking to ban bump stocks: Possessing firearm parts that are used exclusively in converting a weapon into a machine gun is illegal, except for certain limited circumstances, U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) said in a joint statement. Today we begin the […]

Giffords gun control group equates muzzle loaders with bump stocks.

NRA-ILA: It would be nice to think that with a pro-gun president and pro-gun majorities in Congress, statehouses, and governors mansions across the country, the battle to secure the Second Amendment is won. But as long as decent, law-abiding gun owners are blamed for the acts of deranged murderers, the battle can never end. Instead, […]

The ATF will not reclassify bump stocks.

Behold the hysterics in this report entitled: GOP candidate for governor: Bump stock ‘prevented more casualties in Las Vegas I mean, I get the guy’s point and all but that would depend on the level of training a person had. And in a crowd of people who are close to one another, spray and pray […]

Bump stocks do not convert semiautomatics into machine guns. The fallout and eventual attempt to legislate these away (which seems to be ATF’s goal, as opposed to NRA who thinks ATF should reevaluate their ruling) will be interesting. If legislated away, what happens to those already in possession? I mean, you cannot add new machine […]

Why gun experts dont support banning or buying bump stocks That’s from the Christian Science Monitor. They used to be one of the more anti-gun papers out there. Now, they seem pro gun. Why the change?

Bump Stock Ban Retroactively Criminalizes Possession of Legally Acquired Products But I think something will pass. Politicians on both sides of the aisle are going on about it and NRA has waved the white flag. I think bumpstocks are dumb. You’re not really shooting accurately and they mostly make noise. I don’t think they should […]

CNN tries to explain how bump stocks work with animation. Hilarity ensues. Hint: It requires an actual bump stock.

So, I did this post about it. And am republishing it again because a few things have happened. First, youtube deleted one of the videos. Second, Jerry Miculek happened. Third, I’m on vacation and want to rehash content. And fourth, the number turned out to be 6. So, here it is: 6) The bump stock. […]

The bump stock. They’re all the rage on the internet right now: The rubber band. The evils of common office supplies: A bump board. Evil, evil carpentry materials: Shoestrings. No video I can show because that has actually been ruled illegal by ATF. And I wouldn’t want to incriminate some poor guy. But here’s a […]

ATF has revised a ruling on AR-15 lower receivers as guns. Now, they are not. Odd since millions and millions around the country have that part serialized. Looking at the original piece by CNN, it seems that the feds dropped the case because they knew it would undermine gun control efforts. And prove that ATF […]

Did Trump just make his own bumpstock ban illegal?
