Is this true? (Bumpstocks)

[Bailey Guns]

If Hillary was president no one would care about bump stocks because everything else would be too fucked up.

I don't think that's accurate at all. Many, many people on here bitch constantly about both republicans and democrats not being gun friendly.

When the original thread came up about the proposed ban I wrote this:

Why? Why try to explain anything using fact and logic? It doesn't matter and it hasn't mattered for a long time. I (and many like me) no longer have a voice because I believe in the wrong things. It's as simple as that. I've called my elected representatives (and plenty that I didn't help to elect), I've emailed them and I've written letters. I get the same damn canned response every single time with words changed here and there to fit the subject. I've voted for those who tell me they believe much like I do. I've encouraged others to do the same. It's been a waste of time, effort and energy.

Engaging in intelligent conversation using fact and logic no longer matters. Emotion matters. That's the only thing these asshats listen to. The more emotion the better.

I've been engaged politically since Carter was president and I was old enough to vote. And where has that gotten me? No where. Just high blood pressure and more frustration and heartache with what my once proud country has become.

If you're not a loudmouthed, ignorant fucking snowflake these days no one wants to hear anything you have to say. Especially if you sound like you're a right wing, gun-loving, bible-clinging, mid-American, deplorable that doesn't think the way the communists and socialist in the media and most of the government do.

I'm beginning to sympathize with those who say the time to talk is over.

And many others express similar sentiments.

The one thing I will say and will stick to:

On balance, republicans are far less concerned with additional restrictions on guns than democrats are.

It's quite the opposite (although, undoubtedly, a lot of other stuff would be f'ed up)

Yet, Gun owners would be foaming at the mouth rabid, lighting torches and marching the streets if she so much as tried to ban so much as the tiniest part of a firearm, period.

But if Trump does it?

Or if Reagan does it?

Or if GWB does it?

*crickets*

Ironically, "womens" and "gay" and "immigration" rights would likely also be much depressed under Hillary, simply because those people wouldn't be foaming at the mouth.

The ironic thing about Americans is they only REALLY care about their issues if the opposing political party brings it up.

Ronald Reagan is the patron saint of small government and individual rights, though. He would never pass any gun control laws. Next you'll tell me he was what set California on the path to become what it is now!

Reagan passed the 1986 GCA.

https://www.atf.gov/rules-and-regula...l-firearms-act

Firearm Owners’ Protection Act
In 1986, this Act amended the NFA definition of “silencer” by adding combinations of parts for silencers and any part intended for use in the assembly or fabrication of a silencer. The Act also amended the GCA to prohibit the transfer or possession of machineguns. Exceptions were made for transfers of machineguns to, or possession of machineguns by, government agencies, and those lawfully possessed before the effective date of the prohibition, May 19, 1986.

You left off the sarcasm smiley face. Or were you actually serious?

[TFOGGER]

I see a whole lot of"will not comply" and "frankly DGAFF" coming in response to this...

[Eargesplitten]

I thought it came through without the sarcasm face, my bad.

[roberth]

How does the ATF intent to enforce this executive order?

I see it as unenforceable as the CO mag limit nonsense.

Is there an actual link to the proposed ban?

You know, so I can read the actual text of the actual document instead of having to take the word of CNN as gospel?
