Sounds like the Dems had this little script - and add in the Suppressors too - already prewritten and sitting in their “Open In Case of Mass Shooting” file cabinet.

Not a fight worth having let em ban the stocks and move on.

You give the Left a shoestring and they'll create a maritime rope within an hour.

Fox has veered sharply left since Murdoch gave control to his lefty sons.

They are Conservative only when viewed against MSLSD and CNN.

The last election they were pushing for Jeb Bush and support the GOPE/Uniparty for the most part.

Hannity is still good as is Tucker Carlson and Judge Jeannine but a lot of them like Krauthammer and the lovely Dana Perrino are GOPE.

Ate you going to tell me that Shemp Smith, Geraldo and many others are Conservative?

Only true Conservative station is One America News.

Can't believe that no one corrected the "machine guns are illegal" BS.

We’ve had pleasant, like minded exchanges before. Can’t believe that you would be so insulting. Oh well. I won’t respond in kind.

I am very concerned by this from the “we have to do something” crowd. Even many FReepers and the freaking NRA are willing to go along.

IT IS A TRAP AND YOU WILL BE SORRY.

Don’t worry. Anyone with a stock cradle, a good piece of walnut, a big jar of inlaying black and the right tools, can install a spring between the stock and the frame that will do the job, regardless of what they do or don’t ban in Congress. What would anyone need with a bump stock who isn’t looking to start a personal war, though.

True, but hen there is no “political cash” to be won with that option!

That’s why both parties are jumping on this bandwagon, so that they look like they are “doing something”!!

They are doing something alright: looking like idiot, rubes to us VOTERS!

“...Now, the GOP is considering partnering up with Democrats to ban bump stocks ...”

Well, it makes sense, you see, because of how the Democrats “partnered up” with the GOP to repeal obamacare, and... oh ... wait a minute ... Never mind.

Damned RINO f-tards couldn’t roll over fast enough, could they.

Now, would it have made a difference if everyone at that concert had been armed? Fact: none whatsoever. That’s one of the reasons why it was chosen as a target. Fact: that group of God and Country lovin’ conservatives were fish in a barrel, twenty thousand plus strong in number, shoulder to shoulder in an open-air venue. Conjecture: they were collateral damage on the Globalist’s altar. Purpose: cause enough outrage at our vulnerability to cause/force a knee-jerk reaction - we’ve gotta do something!

I’m not saying they won’t do it, but I don’t see legally how they can.

ATF declared the bump stock as a “firearm part” and not a “firearm” so it doesn’t fall under the NFA or GCA.

But I’ll bet they find or create a loophole and declare it a firearm.


Huh? ATF puts out regulations. Congress makes laws. Whatever ATF (or any agency says), Congress can easily pass a law saying the exact opposite, and guess what?

It's like you at work: as a manager you tell your local team that you're running the business a certain way. Then the CEO or owner comes in and says nope, do it this way. You certainly won't be doing it your way anymore!

Set up a recoil-absorbing dummy at every place you want to fire, and you can decimate any large crowd without even touching the trigger. Yup. Get our new Gone-Postal App on-line, and after you have your show, folks will be saying ‘Paddock who?’

I stopped trying to be "reasonable" long ago. This stuff isn't difficult to decode:

BtD: "You want to ban bump stocks? OK, let's talk. What will you offer in return? Fund the Border Wall? Evict all illegal aliens? Defund Planned Parenthood? List the ACLU, SEIU, and SPLC as terrorist organizations? What you got?"

Lib (looking confused): "Well, no. You have to give us what we want and we don't give you anything in return."

Nope. It isn't politics, it's surrender on the installment plan. Not buying it.

“Are they also going to ban belt loops? Shooters were using belt loops before there was a Bumpfire.”

What you are talking about is bumpfire. What is being talked about in the article are bump fire stocks.

Knee-jerk legislation, is the best legislation.
