Trump Administration moves to ban bump stocks
Here is a link to the AG's statement banning bump stocks: link
I'm not sure that the regulation will hold up under challenge as federal code defines machine guns as firearms designed to fire (or readily restored) more than one shot by a single function of the trigger. What are your thoughts? |

I don't have details on what form it will take, but...
Companies will go under, current will be destroyed, possibly ban acceptance will increase, long before the legal challenge prevails. Changing the regulation on current bump stock is moving what has, until now, been a pretty clear line on what makes an automatic weapon. I don't see where it could be moved and be as clear. This could affect quite a bit beyond bump stocks. |

Once A Machinegun, Always A Machinegun and Bumpstocks
This is the current CFR (federal regulations, not actual law) defining “machinegun.”

To be clear the link in the OP is to the notice of the rule making procedure, not to the ban itself.

I am not an advocate of marijuana legalization. However, the administrative process for changing its classification seems a similar sort of administrative hyjinks. This kind of law by fiat is distasteful in itself. Quote:

You are correct that in the case of drug schedules the authority was delegated by congress. My only intent was to illustrate the distance between an adminstrative regulatory act and a political consensus.

Furthermore I just read the proposed regulation and I must say that it must have inspired great labor pangs to draft it in such a manner to seek the ultimate legal conclusion that it came to. For anyone who wants a demonstration in just how broken our government can be, read the document and see for yourself. A great many logical leaps and non-sequitor arguments were taken to reach the conclusion that the ATF can now treat bump-stocks as NFA items.

My thoughts? 44% of the voting republicans are finding out why this guy is not a real conservative and is a populist loser not interested in our right and perhaps might be a wake up call to the rest of the party. At any rate? I don’t support any piece of garbage legislation regarding firearms until we come up with some realistic solutions to our abysmal handling of mental disorders, drug laws, and other major contributing factors to our murder rate that don’t require trampling rights OR require review of how to handle issues while not violating due process. But hey. I may have an(R) next to my name for voter registration, but I am really a libertarian. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
