If President Trump’s ban on bump stocks goes through, he will have enacted more gun control in his first year and a half than Obama did in eight years in office.

GOOD for President Trump! Arm the teachers. And also:
Bumpfire stocks are OBVIOUSLY not machine guns. BUT:

You say the anti-gunners on the march? LOL!

No need for a Bumpfire stock. Amazingly fun! Accuracy is naturally compromised, though. Short handgun cartridges have the highest cyclic rate, since less bolt travel is needed.

Bumpfiring is 100% legal, and safe in a properly maintained modern sporting rifle. Some gun ranges do not like it, though, because they feel you don’t have adequate control of the firearm. I am sure that could well be the case of you bumpfired a cartridge anywhere from 7.62 NATO (.308 Winchester) on up.

Banning bump stocks is not “gun control” — that is the whole point.

He has to do “something” in view of the vicious attacks by Democrats.

He is doing exactly “something”, but specifically NOT hurting gun rights.

Bump stocks were first invented under Bush II (the Akins Accelerator) and were briefly legal then. The ATF quickly realized exactly what it was that a junior examiner had approved and banned it as (surprise) a machine gun.

It was only under Obama that that ban was reversed by someone calling it ‘an assistive device for the physically disabled.’ It was the Obama BATF that was too stupid to realize what it was.

Yep, Trump implementing the Hope and Change Obama set him up to as a trap.

Encourage school shooting terrorists to go to school through diversity and then put Trump to the wall

Is Trump serious about tackling the swamp? He has been very vague on gun rights, like a bad date

For anyone who really wants to have a bump stock on his semi-auto, he can take the “ban” and wipe his arse with it. If you’ve got a small word-working shop, you can make a bump stock in one afternoon. Somehow, I doubt the legitimate use of firearms for the law abiding will suffer greatly from this, but the whole issue is of, by and for the dumb-asses, and I don’t suffer fools gladly.

“If President Trump’s ban on bump stocks goes through, he will have enacted more gun control in his first year and a half than Obama did in eight years in office.”

He will lose a small but significant amount of support due to his action on bump stocks. I wonder, quite seriously, if that will be the mistake that leads to his impeachment.
