Thread: Trump Bans Bump Stocks

    Trump Bans Bump Stocks

    Can anyone Trumpsplain this to me?

    https://www.cnbc.com/2018/02/20/trum...hine-guns.html

    President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that he has recommended that "bump stocks" — devices used to make semi-automatic weapons capable of firing hundreds of rounds per minute — be banned.
    ...
    "After the deadly shooting in Las Vegas, I directed [Sessions] to clarify whether certain bump stock devices like the one used in Las Vegas are illegal current law," Trump said at a White House event honoring first responders.

    "That process began in December, and just a few moments ago I signed a memorandum directing the attorney general to propose regulations to ban all devices that turn legal weapons into machine guns," Trump said.

    "I expect that these critical regulations will be finalized, Jeff, very soon."

    I think he is trying to do something relatively ineffective about guns in order to hold off more drastic measures.

    It's a BAD idea.

    Hopefully BATFE will stick to what they already said and refuse to do anything without congressional action.

    Bump stocks are dumb..

    anyone can convert self loading repeating firearm into Full Auto.

    It is a very minor sear adjustment.. or a worn sear can cause it as well.

    The utter stupidity of law makers never fails to amaze.
    Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

    I didn't "Trumpsplain", I said it was a BAD idea, a "Trumpsplanation" would have claimed it was the best move to make to preserve as much of our rights as possible.

    That's a pretty $#@!ing stupid analysis of the situation, forgive me for being crass.

    He supported the AWB. He is not holding off more drastic measures. He is just getting started. And what business is it of the president to direct the executive in manufacturing laws?

    If they were honest in their allegiance to the Constitution they'd have impeached his ass long ago.

    We shall see but I think a lot of his old liberal positions were just things he said to curry favor with the rich and famous, he hasn't jumped onto the gun-ban bandwagon so far and I predict he won't.

    And then they would impeach everyone in the line of succession who is as bad or worse, but since they won't do that and Pence and Ryan are likely to be worse I'd rather they left him in place for now.

    So, looks like Trump will implement more gun control than Obama ever did. MAGA, right?

    I don't think so, although I'm kinda confused by what you just said, I'm pretty sure that it has no relevancy to his statement.

    Perhaps you should consider what the intended communication was supposed to be before judging it.

    You said it was a bad idea, but also that you thought Trump was doing it for the right (i.e. pro-2nd-amendment) reasons: hence, Trumpsplaining. It's still the old 64D chess type argument, but with the caveat that, while he's trying to play 64D chess, he's not doing it very well. The result is that instead of condemning an allegedly pro-gun GOP President for restricting gun rights, you actually commend him for his valiant, albeit misguided, effort to strengthen gun rights. It's a subtler form of bull$#@!, I've give you that.

    He was saying that he did this small measure to pacify the more extreme of the antigun lobby (or at least that's how Swordsmyth feels).

    I was clarifying that Trump has been a part of the more extreme of the antigun lobby (Assault Weapons Ban proponent).

    My white coat statement was not directed towards his comment, it was directed towards your question and was a generalized answer which attempted to succinctly summarize Trump's unprincipled ways and ignorance of the issue.

    I.e. it's a prediction.

    No, intent doesn't get you credit, you can't commend and criticize the same action.

    Even if they did, it's not like they will be satisfied with simply bumpfires. Or that they will ever support Trump.

    This is a time where GOA and everyone should stand their ground. Trump's memorandum reads as if he doesn't even understand what a bumpfire is.

    Sometimes people do have bad behavior and a good motive. Nothing wrong with pointing that out.

    But here we don't even know what is going to happen, it's just another dog-pile on Trump because the MSM says so.
