Trump= 2A threat.

I knew it since 2004 on 1st season of Apprentice.

I don’t know about everyone else but I voted for Gorsuch. Both candidates were abysmal and the idea that the next four years would be a roller coaster of suck was a foregone conclusion. Anything either administration did could be undone by a later one, SCOTUS decisions, not so much.

It is absolutely incredible to me that the left will prop up 14, 15, 16, and 17-year-olds ideas and opinions as gospel and amongst our ranks we can’t even get 100% agreement that 18, 19, and 20 year olds should legally be able to protect and defend themselves, their families, communities, and anyone they choose to lawfully defend with a firearm.

I have way too many friends that fought and died for this country they were under 21 years of age, I have way too many friends that were and are fathers and mothers before turning 21 for me to even consider for a moment the idea of restricting people aged 18 to 21 from being able to protect themselves and fully exercise their Second Amendment recognized God-given rights.

At 18 you are an adult and SHOULD be able to have full rights, including possessing and purchasing Handguns, Machine Guns, Silencers, SBR/SBS/AOW’s, Alcohol, and anything else that is currently reserved for 21 plus.

But then things get weird https://hotair.com/archives/2018/02/...oing-gun-bill/

That's not weird. The zealots don't think it's enough.

So what's going on with bump stocks? Haven't heard anything in a while. Are they banned yet? ATF still doing review?

Last I saw there were about 17000 responses. Reuters did a check of 4500 of them and came up with a total of 10 in favor of banning them.

[Bailey Guns]

So 4500 is about 25% of the responses. So, 10 of 4500 would equate to about 40 of 17000, roughly.

Somehow the ATF will be able to justify that as a majority opinion in favor of banning them.

They don't even have to do that. The comments could be 100% against banning them and the ATF could still make the decision to ban them.

"Notice and Comment" requirements are just that: They are required to post a notice and to solicit comments.

But they are not under any obligation to heed (or even pay attention to) the comments.

So...like the rest of government, basically.

Actually as of today it is showing 57507 responses. I have been following daily for a while and most of the comments in recent days are for banning. Lots of the form letters, lots of simplistic; bump stocks bad, ban them, No one should have automatic weapons, type comments, just emotional responses, no basis in fact. As mentioned above, they don't have to heed any of them or use a majority of comments for or against. I would hazard a guess at the moment that there are far more comments for banning than not. They do have to respond to the generalized comments content in their rule promulgation but as we have seen earlier, "We do not agree" can be the response and they do what they want.
Comments close June 27, 2018, it will take a while to process the comments and then finalize the illegal rule change.
