Y'all are doing something right.

Of the more than 17,000 public comments received so far by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), a review by Reuters of 4,200 turned up only 10 favoring the bump stock ban. Almost all the rest criticized the proposal as heavy-handed, unnecessary or unconstitutional.

I'm kind of surprised there are 13,000 bump stocks in the entire country, let alone in just those two liberal states.

Except that seems to me to be the best reason (from F-Troops haughty perspective) to ban the things.

I saw the below comment posted multiple times in the comments, anti gun bleeding hearts are out in full force.

On the night of October 1, 2017, a gunman opened fire from a hotel room on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel into the 22,000 person crowd at the Route 91 Harvest country music festival in Las Vegas, Nevada, killing 58 people and injuring more than 500. The gunman fired more than 1,100 rounds of ammunition in 11 minutes, using semi-automatic rifles modified with dangerous firearm accessories designed to dramatically accelerate the rate of gunfire, commonly known as "bump fire stocks." These devices are intended to circumvent the restrictions on possession of fully automatic firearms in the Gun Control Act of 1968 and the National Firearms Act of 1934 by allowing an individual to modify a semiautomatic rifle in such a manner that it operates with a similar rate of fire as a fully automatic rifle, posing a substantial risk to public safety.

In the absence of immediate action by Congress, I urge ATF to finalize its proposed rule clarifying that bump fire stocks, along with other "conversion devices" that enable semiautomatic weapons to mimic automatic fire, qualify as "machineguns" under the National Firearms Act. And then Congress must act as wellto ensure that manufacturers cannot continue to endanger public safety by designing devices that imitate machine guns and subvert the law. The continued presence of these dangerous devices puts all of our communities at risk, and both Congress and ATF must take action quickly to address this threat.

Wasn't the Hughes Amendment part of FOPA 86, not GCA 68?

If bumpstocks are banned, someone will probably just come out with a kit, or an 80% completed one.....
