I heard the problem is that the law covers all sorts of things that aren't bump stocks, like just a new improved grip.

My take: My observation is that the President can still be naive on some matters. Firearms rights being one of them.
I wonder if he has spoken to his sons, who are much more "gun folk" than their dad.
One thing about Trump is how he can and will change his mind when presented with a compelling argument. That's our best approach here.
My two cents...

President Trump said his administration was looking to soon “eliminate” bump stocks. TREASON!!!
If We the People had wanted a gun-control freak, we would have voted for the Hildebeeste.

Gosh, I wish someone would write a federal law or something that would prohibit the government from infringing on our right to keep and bear arms.
Probably asking too much, I expect.
It would never pass.

Under the letter of the law, government can’t do that. That means even President Trump can’t do that. I see no purpose for bump stocks, but banning them takes legislation. I do see a Second Amendment guarantee against such legislation (not that even a republican Congress seems to care).

The insanity continues. What part of shall not be infringed has the footnote “except for ...?”

Whoever did the Vegas shooting* would have achieved a higher hit rate without bump stocks. This set-up opens the door to tyranny.

I know he’s a city boy from New York and I do like him. But he doesn’t know much about rifles. Has anyone pointed out to him that bump stocks probably lowered the toll there?
Just imagine the dumb ass in the hotel had been engaged in very rapid aimed fire instead. God alone probably knows how many he would have killed.

No. Mr. President you are not allowed to pass laws. You are the head of the executive branch. 👍

I don’t believe anything we’ve been told about the so-called “Las Vegas shooting” investigation.
And McCabe was the FBI turd put in charge of the “investigation?” What a joke.
To: Simon Green
Having fired ARs with bump stocks and binary triggers, along with having a few sessions with genuine submachineguns and selective fire rifles under my belt, my verdict is that there is no substitute for the real thing. Are the former fun? Not enough fun for me to buy and install them. YMMV.
(I really enjoy running a couple of magazines through a BAR when I get the opportunity though... it is the antithesis of "subtlety and nuance.")
But yeah, I don't like being told what to do or what to own when it impacts no one else, and in a land of unlimited abortion funded at the pointy end of the IRS and fedgov in general, I consider it hypocritical and fatuous. I'm not too worried about PDJT taking anyone's gadgets.
Yet.

Mr. Trump, now is not the time to piss off your base. Please don’t do this.

When the Lawsuits make it to the SCOTUS, we will hopefully have a Majority of Conservative Justices thanks to POTUS Trump.
Everybody had better keep their eye on the ball rather than getting stuck in the weeds over stuff like this.

There is so much missing in the Las Vegas shooting. As far as I can tell the only conclusion is to ban concerts.
That’s how screwed up it is.
