Bumpstock Comments Open

I left my 2 cents, primarily stating that their tortured language to change the function of a semi-automatic via a 'bump-stock' accessory into a "machinegun" is blatantly false.

I have been trying to figure out how to describe their twisted manipulation of the language, “ tortured” is a perfect description, hope you don’t mind if it finds it way into my comment.

I don't mind at all. I couldn't find any other way to describe the nonsensical language trying to twist words into a meaning that was in total conflict of the words used.

Left a comment asking if they will ban pants with belt loops, since they can just as easily convert a semi auto into a machine gun, actually easier since no modification to the gun is needed.

I made a similar argument, although I pointed out that the firearm still exhibited semi-automatic function since the trigger must be actuated by the finger for each firing operation. I also pointed out that some skilled shooters are able to bump fire with just their finger, no modification required. Some skilled shooters can fire a semi-auto just as fast as an automatic, so the rate of fire shouldn't have anything to do with changing the historical definition of what defines 'semi-automatic' vs. 'automatic' mechanical function.

"This is unacceptable and morally wrong!
People wants to follow the law so they purchase a LEGAL item trusting the Government.
Then the Government turns around, because of the action of ONE individual out of HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of law-abiding owners of the exact same items.
The Government therefore changes the cards already on the table and declares the same item illegal.
Law abiding citizens are instantly turned in potential felon, just for trusting their Government.
The only other option is surrendering such item, WITHOUT COMPENSATION, or destroy it, with no grandfathering clause.
This is NOT the America I love.
This is NOT the America I choose.
SHAME ON YOU."
Not that they will give a shit...

Grossly tortured.

Just like some lawyers argue for torture and others argue against, Twist and manipulate the language to suit their purposes and boss of the day.

So, I talked to one ATF field agent and he said the ATF is generally against this. Many have submitted comment against this, and said that they only placed this on the register to stop further legislation on binary triggers and other speed enhancing features. It was written as is, so that I could be struck down in court. Just need to have it heard in conservative courts 1st.

Foxtrot, what do you think it will take for SCOTUS to hear a 2A case, and what do you think the subject would be?
