BOHICA (federal bump stock ban)

[Zundfolge]

Feinswine has put forth a bill that is so poorly worded that it will likely outlaw all aftermarket triggers.

PDF of the bill



The offending bit:

...on and after the date that is 180 days after the date of enactment of this subsection, it shall be unlawful for any person to import, sell, manufacture, transfer, or possess, in or affecting interstate or foreign commerce, a trigger crank, a bump-fire device, or any part, combination of parts, component, device, attachment, or accessory that is designed or functions to accelerate the rate of fire of a semi-automatic rifle but not convert the semiautomatic rifle into a machinegun.

so they don't define what "accelerate the rate of fire" is ... so if I put a heavier hammer spring that decreases lock-time by a tenth of a millisecond have I just violated this law? Can you argue that my 3.5lb Timney trigger "accelerates the rate of fire" of my AR?

Like this?
(it is the proper color accessory for inclusion, after all...)

I'm glad you are so confident, I won't put anything past Ryan and the rest of the Rinos.

Passing any gun control will destroy their reelection chances.

As if any of them have a chance. There's a new wave of outrage since the 16 Trump win. Which has mobilized every feels voter to do better next election cycle.
Combine that with a GOP who had 8 years to formulate a somewhat reasonable health care replacement. YET when they hold a majority in both house & senate then FAILED to get anything passed outside a bowel movement. IMO The GOP has a NO Confidence Vote from me, as they do from others.

NPR had an interview with a senator from Maryland who is supporting this bill.

He lamented the fact that he couldn't do an AR ban and UBC bill, but noted this was a good start and common sense.

I don't have a lot of confidence in them for most things. Being pro-gun is about the only thing they have going for them. I don't think they would shoot themselves in the foot that hard.
