Pending Trump Bump Stock Ban Won’t Satisfy Enemies but Will Alienate Allies

Fine words. What does he think his impending regulatory ban with life-destroying punishments for noncompliance is if not an infringement? (Donlad J. Trump – Facebook photos)

USA – -(Ammoland.com)- “Exclusive: Trump administration to announce final bump stock ban,” CNN boasted Wednesday. What was so exclusive about that, aside from sourcing the information to nameless “US officials familiar with the matter” is unclear – everyone watching developments has anticipated this happening soon due to the president’s own words in October and also due to a November 8 notice by the Office of Management and Budget noting the “Concluded Action” is “Consistent with Change.”

“Bump stocks gained national attention last year after a gunman in Las Vegas rigged his weapons with the devices to fire on concertgoers, killing 58 people,” CNN continues. If they could say that definitively, they would have an exclusive.

At this writing, assumptions by the media notwithstanding, no official statement demonstrates with certainty firearms found in the hotel room with “bump stock” devices attached were even used in the attack, making it fair to speculate if it’s also possible any weapons had been modified. What we believe probable notwithstanding, at this point we can’t say we “know” for sure. As ATF revealed in a response to a Freedom of Information Act request:

Results obtained since this was written are not yet public.

Nor can we define the scope of the “problem” nationwide in terms of how many such devices have been used in homicides (something the FBI wants no part in reporting).

“[O]pposition from lawmakers and the National Rifle Association ultimately made a regulatory change the only realistic path forward to accomplishing the President’s goal,” CNN further obfuscates. Actually, NRA signaled a green light for regulation:

“Despite the fact that the Obama administration approved the sale of bump fire stocks on at least two occasions, the National Rifle Association is calling on the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) to immediately review whether these devices comply with federal law. The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semi-automatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations.”

NRA wanted to avoid politicians they back being forced to go on record, and then having to reassess “A” grades and “staunch supporter of the Second Amendment” characterizations for those buckling under pressure. Either that or having their grading system held up to wider scrutiny…

It’s unclear what the president hopes to accomplish by alienating his strongest supporters at a time he is being closed in on from all sides by powers intent on destroying him. If he believes this will satisfy the gun-grabbers and make them go away, that ignores everything about their incremental tactics. Experience shows they will take a piece here and a “compromise” there, and then use that position to launch their next demand for more.

We can see it in this case already, with headlines like “Trump to Announce Bump-Stock Ban, a Largely Meaningless Gesture.” They’ll take the symbolic victory and then, emboldened and sensing weakness, circle in closer.

So what’s the big deal? Who really cares about bump stocks? I imagine those who bought the devices do, as they will be required to rid themselves of their property without compensation – or become felons subject to draconian fines and prison sentences for possessing an “unregistered machinegun,” not to mention being mandated “prohibited persons” for life, unable to ever “legally” own a gun again.

Anyone who thinks this is “just about bump stocks” is missing the point.

If President Trump gets away with this usurpation of undelegated power, guess what the Democrats will be able to pull the next time they take the White House.

#1, the definition of an NFA was codified by the 1934 National Firearms Act. POTUS is not constitutionally empowered to unilaterally amend any act duly passed by the houses of Congress. #2, if POTUS 45 gets away with unilaterally (and extra-constitutionally) amending the 1934 NFA, there will be no power on earth with the standing to prevent POTUS 46 or 53 or 123 from unilaterally and capriciously declaring anything he wants, from water pistols to wrist rockets, to be an NFA device. #3, the NRA needs to be burned at the stake for being asleep at the wheel on this.… Read more »

I expect massive non-compliance. And with the ubiquity of 3D printers, the ban will be as effective as those tags you
‘re not supposed to tear off your mattress.

n.r.ringlee

In blue utopias like Kalifornia you already have mass noncompliance to other restrictions. Personal sales happen every day without state sanction. Folks are in open defiance of other physical characteristics bans and restrictions. These laws are passed for two reasons: to make the law maker feel good and look good and to use selectively against ideological opponents. Public safety is not the concern nor is it the result.

Bob

Can anyone tell me how these knucklheaded dimwits will know who has a bumpstock! They are purchased as an accessory and not serialised in any way! I really doubt too many will be turning these bs in after spending 3-400$. Can’t wait too see what ban is next!

Vanns40

Anarchyst: Ah, no. File a Form 1 without an amnesty in place and you’ll be getting a knock on the door and have it confiscated without compensation. There is NO provision for making or registering new, transferable NFA weapons at this time. Don’t even think about it. While we’re at it, the idea of an amnesty is nice but what we should really be aiming for, as a first step, is repeal of the Hughes Amendment. The immediate effect of that would be to flood the market with transferable NRA guns and dramatically lower the prices. Please don’t preach about… Read more »

anarchyst

A “bump-stock” ban could be a way to open up the NFA registry to “new” machine guns. If “bump-stocks” are reclassified as “machine guns”, an amnesty period will have to be opened, as an outright ban would be a “taking” which is unconstitutional on its face. An amnesty period was declared with the 1968 “Gun Control Act”, and another amnesty limited to “Street Sweeper” shotguns was enacted in 1994. It would seem that, if “bump-stocks” are banned (or restricted) another limited “amnesty period” would be needed. Putting a “bump-stock” on your AR-15 would make it possible to register an AR-15… Read more »

Good God man. These article’s are the only ones that get such intense ramblings. O personally don’t give two chits about bump stock as I see them as a novelty item and an accessory I don’t see any real point in. Most people can’t handle engineered full auto weapons let alone some sliding stock that relies upon a loose trigger control finger slop bouncing just to cause it to fire off into the wild blue yonder. I don’t see the actual bump stock ban as an actual issue either. A resposible range would never allow it’s use. What’s worse is… Read more »

> Banning a bad idea is not an infringement when the wording is simple and points to just a product and it has it’s day in a non biased court. It must not be tried as an amendment issue, but solely on the merits of the products safety and accident potential @Brick, Your argument can be turned against gun ownership in general. Who gets to decide on the merits? Who gets to decide who is an “expert?” After watching and analyzing the many bump stock videos that once existed on YouTube, I disagree with your opinions about the efficacy and… Read more »

At first, l’ll admit, l was all for a bumpstock ban. I’d never heard of them and didn’t care to own one. But then l began to see the light on a much larger canvas. Really, it’s no different from any other part, it just has a bad rap. A ban on that will lead to a ban on optics, forward grips, flashlights, lasers, stocks of all types, and pretty much any “enhancement” if we’re talking about ARs or pretty much anything semi-auto. It’s all in the works and coming to a state near you thanks to Trump and the… Read more »

Well said!

Stuart

Anyone can very easily bump fire just about any firearm WITHOUT THE USE of any type of bump fire stock/device. And, while any such bump stock ban it is wholly unconstititutional (and therefore invalid), all it takes is a belt-loop, a thumb and a trigger finger to emulate the exact same thing bump stocks do. In fact, there are already numerous instructionable videos online clearly demonstrating exactly how to do it. Here are links to just a sample of those numerous instructional videos demonstrating bump firing numerous type of firearms: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RdAhTxyP64 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-nUA52BS3c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sadQjIpmOy4 People have been doing it for decades,… Read more »

Thanks Dan and Stuart! I’ll have to check those links. I’ve seen a few on YouTube. The one that l remember well is of the Slidefire from Ruger on a 10/22. Watching it run, it appears full auto but the slow-motion shows that there is a single pull of the trigger for each and every shot. I learned Ruger’s invention was banned. Worked too well!

Vanns40

Ltpar: The Second Amendment places no restrictions on what firearms may be owned. It simply says the “Right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed”, PERIOD. You’re a troll parading as a pro-gun poser. We get them here all the time. You don’t know the Constitution, you don’t know the law, you simply spout anti-gun talking points. Say goodbye.

Vanns40

@LtPar: You are either misinformed or are intentionally trying to misinform others. A Bump Fire stock does NOT turn a semiautomatic rifle into a fully automatic rifle. It still takes one pull of the trigger to fire each and every shot. And, it appears you are misinformed on the legal ownership of full auto firearms as well. They may be regulated but they are perfectly legal for law abiding citizens to own and have been since the inception of the country. In fact, there has only been one legally owned machine gun ever misused by its owner and that happened… Read more »

israelfirst

This a betrayal of trust. Bump stocks were not used in Vegas. Total BS

Ltpar

No, but automatic weapons were used and present. Possession of an automatic weapon without a Federal Permit is already a crime. The sole purpose of a Bump-stock is to convert a semi-automatic rifle into an automatic one. On that basis, I support prohibiting them. If you want to fire an automatic weapon, join the military and go to Afghanistan. No 2nd Amendment violation here.

Wild Bill

@Ltpar, The many knowledgable readers, here, know that it is not a permit and is only tangential to possession. It is a tax at time of transfer. It is almost as if your legal knowledge on the subject comes from what some propagandist told you. Go read for yourself.

@Dubi Nunes, The bump stock “issue” is not before the House, the Senate, or the President. It was pushed over to BATFE, who has concluded the notice and comment period, but has not proposed a rule, yet. So, no caving has been done.

As a side issue to the preceding political posts, the ATF posting in David’s article reminded me of something that has been stuck in my craw since the shooting…..and continues to this day. As far as I can determine, there has never been photos of ALL of the guns (23?) used in the shooting nor has it been reported that the ATF was eventually given permission by the local coppers to examine the guns. Feds needing permission from local cops? Not happening. I’m not a black helicopter guy (well, maybe somewhat) but I can’t get the word coverup out of… Read more »

Show us the LAW that requires him to show his Tax Returns to the general public.
All he’s required to do is file with the IRS, which he has done.
95% of the people are too stupid to know what’s in his returns.

Trae

It’s a Tax return. No real science there, just basic arithmatic. So there has to be a law forcing him to show transparency now? Sounds like another excuse and evasion of what the article is about. Obama’s fault.

Wild Bill

@Trae, No, it is only basic arithmetic if one has very simple federal taxes. Business people have very complicated federal taxes that involve obscure accounting rules (e.g. FIFO and LIFO, calendar years or fiscal years, etc).
Often times a business plan can be figured out by one’s competition by examining someone’s fed income tax, giving the competitor an unfair advantage. There are lots of legitimate reasons for FIT rules that protect people’s filings. FIT is a game between you and the government, not a team sport.

Sgt. Charles Treadway

If there was a Law forcing the President to show his return to the public, then there will be a Law, forcing you to show your returns to the public.
Are you comfortable with that?
The President and all politician’s, Judges are nothing more then privet citizen’s with a government job.
You might want to READ the 4th Amendment.

Donald The 2A’s Cohen. The great ideas of banning bumpstocks and gunparts to ERPO/GVRO. I’ve been unhappy with all anti-2A products and the worst thing is I cannot return them.
Do you respect or disrespect laws that disrespects and denigrates “Our God Given Rights” ? The answer is resoundingly NO!

Ltpar

You do not have a “God given right” to own and possess an automatic firearm without a government permit. That is the sole purpose of a bump stock, to convert semi-automatic weapons to full automatic. You knew that before buying the damn thing, so quit sniveling.

Big Jim

You are clearly inexperienced at operating either one. Mechanical function is obviously not your thing. ATF said they are not a machine gun. Why don’t you read the Federal Firearms Regulations before you spout off?

@Libtpard, Yes, actually it is and one does. There is no “government permit”. It is a transfer tax. It is almost as if you do not know what a Right is. Get some education if you are going to correspond here. These people, to a very large extent, have done their foundational research.
You just look silly.

It appears to me that Trump is now showing what so many of us knew a long time ago. He has never been a constitutionalist. Because of several of his policy beliefs. I believe he can be more accurately described as a socialist. Is this the beginning of the end of our Second Amendment? Why didn’t he add the bump stock to the Federal list that pertains to fully automatic weapons? Why, and I’d love to see this implemented. A Federal law which made it an automatic fast track death penalty for anyone using a bump stock or any fully… Read more »

The beginning of the end of the 2nd amendment took place in 1903 with the “Dick” act eviscerating the whole amendment by making the first 13 words of the 2nd amendment meaningless.

luckieboy

impeachment is a sure answer to this problem. never thought i’d feel this way. just “grab em by the pussy”.

Ltpar

OK, genius, your non-vote is exactly the same as voting for the Democrat liberal. Allow them in office and see what draconian measures on gun control they will implement. I support the 2nd Amendment but with conditions. The gun laws need to be overhauled to make it harder for those who should not possess a firearm to do so.

Harry in Ohio

For what it is worth… When people disagree about an issue. The final outcome will usually follow this way. If one side is happy with everything, somebody got screwed. If both sides are unhappy over it, then it was probably fair. When it is over, if we get to keep our AR’s, be happy. A bump stock is not a firearm. Accessories are not mentioned in the second amendment. I know that someone will say that is only the beginning. That is why the fight will go on. However, in any fight there are always casualties.

Wild Bill

@HinO, I see by your statement, “Accessories are not mentioned in the second amendment.” that you are no constitutional scholar. The founders were not required to express any part of the Constitution in a way that you would prefer, these two hundred years later. The founders chose the broadly inclusive term “arms”. That includes parts.

Vanns40

Thanks Bill, you beat me to it. It’s amazing how so many people are willing to parse so many words and allow our freedoms to be slowly but surely chipped away, starting with the NFA in 1934 as one of the first major chips in the foundation of our freedoms.

I’m happy I’m at the age I’m at so, hopefully, I won’t have to witness the final extinction, and, eventual uprising that will follow, of our Rights. It won’t be pretty and anyone who says they’re looking forward to it is either stupid or simply an Internet blowhard.

Don’t be too disappointed, Trump only signs the bill to authorize reciprocity into law after the Senate passes it, which they have. The bill has been approved by the House for a few months. We are waiting on the Senate to act not Trump. Time to think about term limits.

Ltpar

Sure looks like the President is upholding the Constitution to me. Where in the Constitution or the 2nd Amendment does it say people are permitted to possess automatic weapons? With all the gun violence, some gun control needs to be implemented without restricting rights of gun owners. Possession of an automatic weapon is not one of those rights.

Wild Bill

@Ltpar, You ask, “Where in the Constitution or the 2nd Amendment does it say people are permitted to possess automatic weapons?” See the word “arms” that is where. But you will never find the word “permitted in the Second Amendment”. Nor can some gun control be implemented without restricting the Constitutional Civil Rights of gun wonders.
Possession and ownership is part of that Constitutional Civil Right. I was shopping for a full auto on gunbroker just a couple hours ago.
Your knowledge of the Constitution is unsat.

One thing that the NRA won’t address is the fact they were supportive of the Dick act back in 1903 which basically made the first 13 words of the 2nd amendment null and void.
