President Trump's Tuesday announcement of a bump stock ban is upsetting members of a core constituency: gun owners wooed by his effusive campaign-trail vows to defend the Second Amendment, with two groups promising to see Trump in court.
"If there's anything that irritates you more than a president like Obama who's trying to stab you in the heart, it's one who is trying to stab you in the back," said Michael Hammond, legislative counsel of Gun Owners of America, a group that claims more than 1.5 million members.
Bump stocks allow semi-automatic rifles to fire more rapidly, contributing to the 59-person massacre at a 2017 Las Vegas concert, and the ban was widely anticipated. Owners have 90 days to destroy or give the government their devices.

The silver lining is DJT has already fulfilled every committment he made to Israel.
So there’s that.
I think this was the carrot for the wall..
So the democrats won on both then.
cant win them all..anyone who has read his book The Art of the Deal will see the story of him losing a few properties to a rival developer but in the end, he got him a few years later selling at a really low price back to him. Trump knows when to win later. The goal is 2020, not 2018 Christmas..
It would be bad enough if the ATF can decide on their own that adding a piece of plastic to a gun makes it a machine gun, they are actually saying the piece of plastic is a machine gun, even if attached to a pitch fork,
The Las Vegas massacre where the government is keeping a secret what actually happened, that one?
I’m a gun advocate but don’t mind the bump stock ban
.
Only an idiot would even own a bump stock.
.
I don’t like them either, but you can’t say someone who built a business manufacturing and selling Bump Stocks (a legal product) is an idiot. So, should we have a country where a President can destroy a citizens life with a stroke of a pen?
.
Somehow, I knew you’d be a bumpstock guy.
Better hurry up and get the T-Shirt too!
.
I’m sure the fool found a way to destroy his own life.
Satire?
They’re not firearms at all and you could get the same effect using rubber bands. Also? If you REALLY wanted one you’ve had more than a year to buy one.

Said the other bumpstock guy...
“Haven’t even seen any shoelaces, super glue, or paper clips for sale here.”

That’s not an argument.
I have to admit this is bothering me bigtime.
Precisely.
