Ar’s and over 10 round magazines soon to follow.Nice to have unelected bureaucrats making laws isn’t it?

For once, the unelected bureaucrats aren't to blame. The ATF told Obama multiple times that the NFA doesn't authorize them to ban bump stocks through regulations.

This comes straight from the top. This is happening because the President insisted. Don't let Trump off the hook.

You are probably right but Sessions set it in motion at Trump’s behest. For once the jarf finally followed orders. Surprised he didn’t recuse himself.

This bears repeating. The BATFE repeatedly stated, correctly, it did not fall into their regulatory purview under the 1934 NFA and 1968 GCA. This is all Trump, period. The only reason the new regulation was issued is because Trump demanded it, so they tortured the English language sufficiently to get their regulation written.

For once, BATFE really didn’t do anything wrong here. This is Trump, period.
