Time to hold Trump’s feet to the fire, whether he likes it or not.
Today’s precedent by a Republican is tomorrow’s tyranny by the Democrats.
No it’s not. Bump stocks are certainly not the hill to die on. Get a grip.
I *absolutely* agree with this comment.
HOWEVER
The *way* bump-stocks were banned -- by Executive Order -- *****IS***** a hill to die on.
Sixteen years ago the PATRIOT Act wasn't the hill to die on, either.
And thanks to GWB, Obama and Napolitano and Holder and Pelosi made fools of us.
It’s never the hill to die on for you squishes.
Any compromise of God given and Constitutionally protected liberty is a surrender of them all.
You do not negotiate with those who mean to enslave you.
The problem is by the time we man up and take a real stand there won’t be any hills left just grave mounds.
Agreed. The Slide Fire was specifically designed to enable a semi-auto to fire like an automatic. Yes, it was developed on a long know trick/technique called "bump fire", but it's much more effective, and with very little practice, allows you to shoulder and fire just like a select-fire auto, unlike old-school bumpfire where you stick your thumb in your belt loop and fire off a mag while yelling YEEHAW! Personally, I think automatic rifles should be legal without having to jump through ridiculous hoops, pay the govt a bribe/fee, and then pay 10 times what it should cost for a 50 year old gun.
We all get it, it's not a "real automatic". Do I like it? Hell no! But I'm not going to pretend the Slide Fire is anything but a product designed to "perform like" an automatic, so Trump's EO is certainly in the "spirit" of the law, if not the letter. There is no way the courts strike down this EO. Those who want to replace Trump with Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris or Bernie Sanders over this are welcome to cut off their nose to spite their face.
You’re missing the ‘where does it end’ point.
