Trump moves on bump stocks.

[waffles]

I've always harbored a strong dislike for this president, and knew from the debates he was no 2A fan, but it's still disappointing.

I learn something new every day. Apparently "bump stocks" turn regular semi automatic rifles into machine guns. It's sad that the generic public (sheeple) will not understand this and only hear the word "machine gun."

This is the unfortunate part of the "I'm not touching you" style of modern non-NFA type items. The bumpstock is the obvious example (but this category includes the "braces" and things like the shockwave). If the product lets you hold down the trigger and have the rifle continue to fire that's going to be a machinegun to most people, regardless of the actual definition of a machinegun. Besides the obvious shitting on the 2A, we have to be really careful about what other shit gets thrown in with the ban, like how Denver tossed mags over 15rds in with their bumpstock ban.

I'm amazed Chuck and Nancy haven't come out against Trump banning something

banning bump stocks is completely stupid. One maniac "allegedly" uses one in Vegas (I have my doubts as to it actually being a bump stock that was used), and everyone loses their freaking minds.

The people that own them are responsible, law-abiding gun owners that just want to go to the range, and have a little fun with accelerated rate of fire.

Full auto is FUN. It's an excitement factor. And it's also expensive on ammo.

Sick of this ban this, ban that crap. off and leave our gun rights alone.

None of which will prevent a determined person, hell-bent on destruction of life.

Idiot.

I say if they want to raise the age to purchase a long gun to 21, then they should also raise the "adult" age of everything else to 21.

VOTING, unrestricted driver's license (or whatever they call a "regular", non-minor DL), cigarettes, alchohol (if it's not already), weed (where applicable), leases, contracts, etc. ... Hit them where it hurts... In their feels.

Practical? Not at all. Likely? Never, but maybe the proposal of it might open up the eyes of enough of them to make them think just a little bit.

I’m more in favor of restructuring what constitutes citizenship.Say you turn 16-18, you take a citizenship test, if you pass and have no criminal convictions, speak, and read English, presto! congrats your a citizen now!
You can vote, buy a gun, own a business, join the Military, enter public office, receive a lifetime passport, and everyone else GTFO, unless a citizen wants to vouch for you as well as feed, shelter, clothe, and employ you out of their own pocket. Anyone can retest at anytime up to 3 attempts in their life. Study, study, study!
Schools privatized, Mom and Dad won’t pay? Get a job loser!
Eliminate minimum wage laws.
Remove warning labels and speed limits.
When you buy a vehicle you pay a one time tax that is your contribution to the roads and upkeep thereof, no licensing requirements for anything. Period.
. Gov is restricted to Road upkeep, National Defense, Disaster recovery, Border and Shore Security, Investigations, and Law Enforcement.
Eliminate all taxes except certain sales taxes,(see above).
Untreatable diagnosed Sociopaths and convicted criminals are never allowed to become citizens, and are exiled, executed, or both. (Think penal labor colonies in Alaska or Pacific territories.)

How would the country respond to military at age 21? That's an "adult" thing as well.

And makes about as much sense as the rest of my list, but doesnt fit. Just how many of those sjw, snowflake teens do you think are planning on joing the military?

My list was not meant to be all-inclusive, but to throw out a few "perceived rights" and/or priveleges that the target audience would take notice of.

Right, but part of making a point is really making a point. All the people that WANT to go into the military would throw a fit, as well as the military, which in my eyes, would be an effective way to prevent such a silly change.
