Let’s hope it doesn’t get conflated into other areas like binary triggers. It’s not on the totalitarian/media and Leftist’s radar screens as of yet.

This bump-stock stuff has been worming itself through the bureaucracy for months now - it's old news. But what's mainly interesting is all the pearl clutchers and trolls being smoked out on this thread over an unconfirmed tweet made by a reporter from a media network that hates Trump's guts (NBC).

The video is all over the television. Again, this isn’t about bump toys. It’s about the “other devices”.

I would accept the bump ban, to get a suppressor passage.

Meaningless regarding gun control.

What a great opportunity for anti-Trump types to pretend they care about this.

Actually I just listened to Trump say he’s against turning legal guns into machine guns.

That’s not bump stocks, and Trump knows it.

Exactly! The 2nd amendment is about defending our freedoms.

We can defend them without bump stocks.

This is very dangerous, congress already has proposed language that will ban semi autos by saying “rate increasing” devices. This will ban any professional trigger with a light trigger pull.

Bump stocks were always questionable. People have gone to jail over shoe laces , let alone a bumpstock

Zero chance. Too many traitors in our party.

But this has nothing to do with the “bump toy” smokescreen.
