Trump Bans Bump Stocks

Banning these won’t stop a single killing. It’s stupid and useless.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration Tuesday banned bump stocks, the firearm attachments that allow semi-automatic weapons to fire like machine guns and were used during the worst mass shooting in modern U.S. history.

The regulation gives gun owners until late March to turn in or destroy the devices. After that, it will be illegal to possess them under the same federal laws that prohibit machine guns.

I also believe that implementing the law in this fashion would be a violation of the 5th Amendment: “…nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.”

    It is clear that Trump STILL has no consistent philosophy of governing.

    You just figured that out?

    How about we don’t build the Wall and pay all you folks who’s life will end without bump stocks for your wares .

    Nord,

    Trump is wrong here.

    No president is perfect, but Trump has done a lot to forward conservative issues, especially on taxes and regulation.

    Just because I disagree with him here, does not mean I will not vote for him, because whatever liberal evil Democrats drag up…it will be way worse for fredom and liberty.

    Nah, Maley, I have a counter-proposition.

    Why don’t you go live on the Arizona/Mexico border.  Make sure you take your wife and children, but you may NOT have any weapons available.

    Keep your property neat and clean.

    Lots of illegals busting into homes in the suburbs, Dad29?  Maybe they’re just looking for your guns.  Keep ’em nice and clean, it helps their resale value.

    Oh, they’re clean.

    Watertown and Jefferson have lots of drug problems, just like Madistan.  Trafficking at wholesale is usually run by illegals.  Other drug trouble popping up in the Fox Valley, Kenosha, and NW Wisconsin.

    They need lawyers, John.  Should keep you in pin money anyway.

    “Trafficking at wholesale”?  Are we talking about the drugs or the guns?
