When are they going to ban these Bump Stocks?
- Thread starter wildchild
- Start date
Liberals are having a tough time with this one. What do they do? Stop Trump from undoing things that happened in the Obama administration, or undo this thing that was created under the Obama administration.
Thing that was created? You must be tired. Here Peil, a bed time story about another talking turnip like you.
Wow, you said something reasonable! Good job.
Yes, along with hand guns and high lethality long guns.
Bump stocks were okayed in the reign of Obama. Get a life, get your own facts, dyodd
Yep, I done my dyodd a while back

I own an M82, you should have a look at what a company SafeHarbour got away with under similar circumstances. 50 caliber "uppers" classed as only gun "parts" (no buyer background checks required, "cash and carry") which modify an AR-15 stock into an insane thing but relatively lightweight and with a side load clip.
The NRA has done amazing things to hobble and bring the BATFE into disrepute. Decades of lobbying and buying politicians etc. works.
Now more people are dead & hundreds scarred & crippled but as Bonecrusher said on ET, Americans should not complain about a few dead as it is a fair bargain, "Speaking of opportunity, the U.S. public is the wealthiest in the world...much reward for the risk taken (for you traders out there)."
Yep. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eloi

You're wrong on so many levels.
The ATF does not have the authority to ban gun arts and accessories. If they did they would be able to regulate things like scopes, grips and stabilizers. I would be for the ATF having this authority but I don't think you would be.
The real problem is a lot of right wing people need to be against democrats to actually be for something. This is why our republican government cannot get anything done.
The congress needs to pass a law banning the manufacturing and sale of these bump stocks. Right now the conversation is so flooded with misinformation that it makes it hard for the government to get anything done.
The majority of Americans want these accessories banned but people like you believe in a narrative that doesn't equate with reality and the republicans in congress are not getting a clear message from the people because of all the misinformation coming from right wing media sources.
In other words, stop getting your information from not credible sources. Democrats in congress, by and large, will gladly vote for a law banning bump stocks.
This is not true. The ATF did not, and does not, have the authority to regulate gun accessories and parts. It never "ok'd" anything. It gave guidance that it does not have the authority to ban bump stocks. A law needs to be passed to ban bump stocks ASAP.
The Republican stars are in the pre-2000 non-Satanic orientation but still quite clever.

Smith & Wesson: Chicago’s top crime gun manufacturer
In 2000, Smith & Wesson struck a “historic” deal with the Clinton Administration, agreeing to a stringent set of safety and distribution standards. For instance, the company would sell its products only to dealers who took steps to restrict the sale of guns to criminals. The agreement reportedly helped settle several civil suits brought against Smith & Wesson by state and federal agencies.
But the deal put the company in dire straits. An apoplectic National Rifle Association called for a boycott, and the company’s sales declined by up to 60% before the end of 2000 compared to 1999. Its British owner was forced to sell the company, but it quickly regained its footing, thank in part to the Bush Administration — which declined to enforce the Clinton-era deal and awarded Smith & Wesson several federal contracts.
Nearly two decades after its rocky safety initiative, Smith & Wesson is Chicago’s leading producer of crime guns. The company holds four spots among the 20 guns most frequently recovered by police — more than any other brand — and is the most popular manufacturer overall, with 624 total guns seized in 2014. It’s worth pointing out that Smith & Wesson is the country’s largest firearm manufacturer, which may account for the prevalence of its products among the city’s crime guns.
Meanwhile, the company has again come under government scrutiny. Last month, New York City’s public advocate filed a letter saying the Securities and Exchange Commission should investigate whether Smith & Wesson misrepresented or omitted information about how often its firearms are used in crimes. (Smith & Wesson could not be reached for comment.)

Hi-Points are dangerously cheap
Hi-Point Firearms, based in Mansfield, Ohio, produces low-cost semiautomatic handguns and carbines. The three Hi-Point models among Chicago’s top crime guns are also among the cheapest by retail value, with prices ranging from $162 to $285. The company’s focus on the affordability of its products has drawn the gunmaker unwanted attention. In 2005, Beemiller Inc., Hi-Point’s parent company, and MKS Supply, the company’s sole distributor, were sued for negligence. The suit alleges that Beemiller and MKS intentionally supplied handguns to irresponsible dealers, because they stood to profit from sales to criminals.
