Parkland Survivor: ‘When They Give Us That Inch, That Bump Stock Ban, We Will Take a Mile’
Breitbart ^ | 26 Mar 2018 | AWR Hawkins

Posted on 03/26/2018 11:15:32 AM PDT by Cheerio

During Saturday’s student march for gun control, Parkland shooting survivor Delany Tarr made clear that she and other gun controllers plan to parlay a bump stock ban into numerous other gun controls.

Tarr spoke to the crowd and Think Progress quoted her saying, “When they give us that inch, that bump stock ban, we will take a mile.”

Tarr’s statement exposes the threat to freedom tied to the bump stock ban from day one. After all, bump stocks do not convert semiautomatic firearms into automatic ones, so banning them as if they do opens the door to banning numerous other devices that do not convert the actions of semiautomatic either.

Former ATF gun tech chief Rick Vasquez sounded this alarm in January when he warned that a bump stock will lead to other bans.

He told the Military Arms Channel, “So ATF’s been directed to write a regulation with the strength of a law.” He said the advance notice copy of the new rule makes clear that the ATF’s new regulation will ban “any device that automatically resets a firearm and enhances the rate of fire.” He added, “They are trying to target binary triggers, [bump stock] devices, and other devices, but that is such broad language, can I take that to a Gatling gun? …So now you start stretching this [new] definition, and who is going to decide what the [standard] rate of fire is?” In other words, Vasquez is saying a this new ban simply opens the door to “stretching” the language to cover other devices, as the ruling class sees fit.

For all you doubters and proponents of "getting along with the opposition party" this bears repeating...“When they give us that inch, that bump stock ban, we will take a mile.”. The opposition party must lose like in a war - there is no negotiating with the LEFT - and the sooner Paul Rino and McTurtle accept that then we stand a chance of defeating the new LEFT COMMIE RAT party once and for all.

There’s a reason there were no children at the Constitutional Convention.

And how is the little snowflake going to pull that off?

Just like allowing abortions “for the health of the mother” evolved into killing children on the day they were to be born for the convenience of the mother, and allowing Planned Parenthood to sell their little eyes and hearts.

That’s how evil Leftists get what they want time after time.

The NRA was on board with banning bump stocks. If you paid attention after Las Vegas you would have heard them say that. This little spoiled brat has an inflated impression of her power

All this melodrama about a bump stock. “Everyone with a bump stock, raise your hand... no one?”

No they won’t.

And the rise of 3D printing will make the ban of bump stocks superfluous.

More proof to the one fact when Hitler said, “we have the children and we will raise them up as we see fit”

They follow to the tea, how the NAZI regime took over Germany. The Nazi party never had a majority in the German legislature-they took control because there were several other parties there splitting up the legislature. Familiar compared to today in this country?

Some young weisenheimer talking out his *ss.

The Bill of Rights was written specifically for a-holes like this would-be demagogue.

The article specifically mentioned binary triggers and frankly that’s an easier sell than bump stocks. One trigger pull, one bullet. Binary trigger, one trigger pull, unless you hold it forever, equals two bullets.

They baying hounds however will get something. I don’t care about bump stocks but pretty soon that camel will be in the tent.
