Is this true? (Bumpstocks)

Pardon me, but how in the fuck does an "acting attorney general" sign ANYTHING into law? I was pretty sure laws had to obtain the approval of both houses of Congress prior to being tendered to the President to sign or veto.

Welcome to executive orders, also known as how to do whatever you want as president. Beloved by the party in office, hated by the party not in office, and the opinions change instantly on inauguration day.

This right here's the kinda shit which will have people just saying "too bad, fuck'em" when the D move to impeach/prosecute (which in all likelihood they will at some point).

Stupid fukin move, but awesome way to piss people off across the board, even those who could give a rat's-ass about cheezy friggin bump-stocks.

Plenty of people pointed out he was not a friend of the second, but of course that was all 4D chest and we're totally getting the HPA and reopening the MG registry. Any day now.

You mean a coastal urban elite isn't pro-gun? But...but... his security uses guns, nobody would have armed security without being pro-gun, right?

He continues to tarnish his presidency.

No wall.
Obamacare still in effect.
We're still in Afghanistan.

Now this.

Not so. Trump attempted to end Obama's over-reaching EO that allowed illegal immigrants to stay in this country, and the courts stopped him.

When will the Constitution burning begin and make what's happening a bit more public?

So much for the comment period and, by the ATF's own estimation, an overwhelmingly negative number of comments opposed to the ban. But, it was obviously a done deal...just bureaucrats going the motions.

GOA is already working on a lawsuit challenging the ban. If you'd like to contribute something to help fund the lawsuit you can do so here: https://www.gunowners.com/contribute?src=bumpstocklink

Already working on the ass-chewing I'm gonna hand to my US representative and senators.

A horrible overreach of executive power.

Yes, it is. For the life of me, I can't see how this is legal. It seems pretty clear that, at a minimum, this is a violation of at least the 4th and 5th Amendments. I'm failing to see where anyone is getting due process protections prior to having their property seized by the government here.

I will be anxiously awaiting a SCOTUS ruling on this. At least I think I will.

Donation made to GOA. And I used PayPal. Something satisfying about that.

Figured this was coming. The Atkins stocks were banned rather hastily by the Bureau of Agents Trampling Freedom Everywhere not long after they hit the market too. Not sure if folks were compensated for those or not.

Actually...the Akins agreement may be the key in all of this. The ATF made a legal agreement that the owners of the Akins would be legal if they removed the spring from the Akins. Now they are going back on that legal agreement
