If in fact this occurs on Donald Trump’s order ?
This dog will be pleasantly surprised….
Will the NRA be able to stop this?
President Trump on Friday announced that the Department of Justice (DOJ) would issue a new rule banning bump stocks.
In a tweet, Trump announced that he was directing DOJ to reverse a 2010 decision by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) that classified bump stocks as firearm parts so the devices could be banned under current laws that prohibit owning fully automatic weapons.
Trump blamed the legalization of bump stocks on the Obama administration.
“Obama Administration legalized bump stocks. BAD IDEA. As I promised, today the Department of Justice will issue the rule banning BUMP STOCKS with a mandated comment period. We will BAN all devices that turn legal weapons into illegal machine guns,” Trump tweeted….
Democratic Socialist Dave says
Of course, over the 90-day comment period before this takes effect, the sales of bump stocks will soar.

Good call DSD….
Gun sales went crazy during the 2016 presidential race
People were scared Hillary would clamp down
Zreebs says
But you previously insisted Hillary hardly talked about guns during her campaign. And you have also lectured us that Dems shouldn’t talk about guns. Does this mean that the NRA will not be silent regardless of whether the Dems talk about it or not?
My Name Is Jack says
James is so all over the place on guns that it’s degenerated into pure farce.
At various times he has:
1.) Declared That Democratic candidates shouldn’t mention anything about guns.
2.) However, if elected, they should them do something about them(not defined).
3.)The Hell with the NRA.
4.)Fear the NRA.
5.)Adopt stringent gun control measures
6.)Americans love their guns.
7.)Gun control is a losing issue.
8.) Americans want something done about guns.
All of the above ,he has at one time mentioned here.It all adds up to just so much mindless ranting,a common feature of his “stands” on so many
Issues (besides guns, his frequent contradictory comments on Donald Trump and the Republican Party).

I stand by that Jack….
And in fact THAT is exactly what has happened….
Today is a prime example…
The STUDENTS have taken the lead and are MUCH MORE effective….
Florida, Trump on bump stocks…The continued media attention is NOT FROM Democrats….
It’s from the nations STUDENTS who ARE the victims increasingly….
May I point out that the spending bill just passed only increases money for enhanced background checks….
The main issue of assault weapons is NOT addressed…
Jack?
In RED states?
Democrats make SURE they say that they SUPPORT the Second Amendment…
The new Dem senator from Alabama
The new House member from Pa….
Yes Americans ON THE HOLD want something done about gun control…
But in rural area’s the idea is a completely different animal…
As I point out here…
Nunance is NOT your strong point….
American isn’t just one size fits all….
And a LOT of Americans LOVE their Guns…
The Second Amendment is NOT about everybody having the Right to own a gun…
It applied to militia’s when there wasn’t modern day police forces
I believe the Supreme’s made THAT the law back in 1980…
DSD can check that…
Ya damn real the issue is complicated…
jamesb says
The gun sales went up due to FEARS of Hillary and Democrats in general…..
Just because I said and pointed out that Democrats should NOT and did NOT run HEAVY on gun control doesn’t mean that gun control sensitive people where NOT afraid of a Clinton admin coming down on gun ownership….
