    Isnt there a lawsuit already filed against this? I donate to several right leaning groups and constantly get surveys or petitions to sign that get sent to DC. It is all BS. Just like calling or writing your senator. They know what we the voters think and continue on with what they wanna do to stay in power. Bloody revolt or the cessation of tax dollars coming in is the only thing that will get their attention.

    I don't have or see the need for bumpstocks, but those of you that do I hope you can keep them legally.

    1911's4 Me,

    I see NO real use for a "bump-stock", didn't buy one, don't want one, think that the stocks are an "expensive toy" & a waste of expensive ammo BUT also believe that ALL federal "gun control laws", including the NFA (with all of the current amendments & regulations), NEED to be REPEALED & replaced with NOTHING.

    The SOLE restriction upon law-abiding/peaceful citizens can possess should be what firearms that they WANT TO OWN & CAN AFFORD to buy.
    (Fyi, I know a retired COL/06, USAF, who owns & flies a fully-functional MIG-23 & I regard that owning/operating the jet fighter as NOBODY's business but the owner's/pilot's.)

    Fwiw, I'm a C&R licensee, would like to import a Model of 1907, brass-mounted MAXIM water-cooled HMG with all the "goodies" & sincerely believe that the federal prohibition against buying/importing/owning/shooting of that century-old antique weapon is both STUPID & a violation of my CIVIL RIGHTS as a free US citizen.
    (No criminal would pick a century-old, horse-drawn, over 100#, water-cooled MG on an over-400# wooden-wheeled cart, to "rob a liquor store" or for any other criminal purpose.)

    just my OPINIONS, satx

    I’ve signed several of those White House petitions over the years and have never tracked any email mailings back to them as a source.


    Can’t say the same for private companies however.

    busykngt,

    AGREED 100%.
    Fyi, I regularly write to our local member of the HoR, both US Senators & to the President.
    (My latest email was sent to President Trump just yesterday PM.)

    I suggest that ALL of our membership of this forum do the same. = We simply cannot afford for the Congress & the POTUS to hear the opinions of LEFTIST RADICALS, without also receiving "balancing opinions" from conservative voters, as is mostly the current situation.

    just my OPINION, satx

    Could not care less about owning a bump stock. But they do not make any weapon fully automatic. Sad to see The President looking so ill informed as to say that.
    I signed the petition.

    There are some accessories people want to add to their firearms and some that don't. This is not the subject of the matter, it's is the right to do so. Every single firearm law is an infringement on our rights and the ultimate goal is to rid us of our 2A rights completely. Whether someone "feels" like an accessory is useful or not, the Constitution and Bill of Rights does not protect your feelings or opinions.

    kozmic,

    EXACTLY. Also paperclips, rubber bands & shoestrings will need to be "regulated by" BATFE, as a BATFE agent testified, in a court case during the ODUMBO mis-administration , that those commonplace items "might be used to convert a semiautomatic firearm into an unlawful weapon" !!
    (When the US District Judge asked the agent how that "illegal conversion" could be done, the BATFE agent testified that, "I'm not sure but I'm told that it's possible.")

    yours, satx
