It took an anti-gun veteran like Diane Feinstein almost no time to run off a bill to outlaw bump fire stocks and introduce it in the Senate. Her staff probably has draft Word docs of everything from magazine limit bills to outright Australian-style gun confiscation laws in a handy-dandy folder, right there on there laptops. Never let a crisis go to waste, and all that.
So imagine the surprise and disappointment among members of the Civilian Disarmament Industrial Complex when all House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi could manage in the wake of the Las Vegas massacre was to babble something about saving lives via universal background checks. That simply won’t satisfy a dedicated gun-grabber like our pal Ladd Everitt.
The One Pulse for America director doesn’t have time for geriatric pablum. As someone who has no problem with violence in pursuit of his anti-Second Amendment agenda, he wants to see another federal assault weapons ban enacted. Pronto.
So we decided to point out the fact that a political creature like San Fran Nan knows good and well that an assault weapons bill proposed in a Republican-controlled Congress — with a Republican president in the White House, no less — has about as much chance of passing as Jimmy Kimmel has of being funny.
Isn’t that precious. Ladd thinks that even if Pelosi or some other congresscritter introduces an assault weapons ban bill — and that seems a sure thing — that it would actually get as far as a floor vote. Bless his heart.
You keep plugging away, Ladd.
I guess that he and I agree on something – that Pelosi and Feinstein are soulless monsters.
Yay! We found some common ground!
We expect further tyranny to follow any ban. What can be expected to follow after that is some vicious anything-goes.
Gird your loins.
“District of Columbia Won’t Appeal ‘Shall-Issue’ Ruling to Supreme Court”
BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEY CAN D1<K AROUND FOR A FEW HUNDRED YEARS WITH LACK OF COMPLIANCE WITH THE LAW. SO WHY BE HELD IN CONTEMPT OF A HIGHER COURT ? ? ?
A “Good Guy with a Gun” won’t always be able to stop a “bad guy” with a gun. . .
. . .But they’ve planted (ass-up) a whole shit-ton of Socialist/Communist/and Facist, MF’s out there around the globe in the last ~ 100 years, and we can’t wait for the next one.
It’s good that they’re all coming out of the closet lately [all the evil (D) were a known] now, at least it’s less difficult to discern who’s for the rights of Americans on the (R) side.
Good work.
With so many people throwing statistics around, Has anybody compared gun ownership to crime rate in cities?
El Paso TX where everybody carries is always listed among the top 10 safest large cities. This year it fell to the 7th place.
How could “militia” mean “state armies”, when at the time that the Constitution was written “militia” meant “every able-bodied man of at least 17 and under 45 years of age.?”
Berger was wrong then as Heller proved.
Let’s stop farting around. Go for it. I support it wholeheartedly. Full confiscation of all semi-automatic rifles, all of them from everyone. Mr. and Mrs. American turn them all in. We need to go full Australia and then some. And that would be the final straw. Then we can finally rid this country of these traitors once and for all.
Sigh. Oh Gman. And what you will get is more the madness, blood and mass death of the French Revolution rather than our relatively sane and civilized American revolution, at least in the aftermath of our defeat of the British Monarchy. You blame the symptom; Progressive/ Communists and republican Rinos working tirelessly to have total control of our freedoms and our souls, instead of the cause.
The Progressives/republican statists and their perverted and degenerate agenda is directly related to our turning away from the Christ and his teachings. Until we admit to our sickness of our souls in this basic truth, and return voluntarily to his only Son and following G-ds laws, a hot civil war against their evil plans would be for naught except to promote further tyranny and death. At least, that is my opinion.
You people wanting to give up these stocks are morons.
If they ban these stocks you won’t be getting anything in return so you can stop with the negotiating, it will not happen.
Either we keep them or we don’t.
If you want them gone you are an antigunner.
Sorry f*ckstick, no deal. True I cannot fathom a practical use for a bump fire stock nor can I find the desire to own one myself but that doesn’t mean no one should be allowed them and I could say the same for the following:
1. Racecars
2. Cars manufactured before 1940
3. Mud Trucks
4. Monster Trucks
5. Wheels measuring over 18 inches in diameter
6. Diesel trucks when you do not tow anything
7. Four Wheel drive vehicles when you drive properly maintained roads
8. More than one bank account
9. More than one TV
10. More than one computer
11. More than one phone
12. A refrigerator with built in freezer (with a separate a deep freezer)
13. A deep freezer (with a refrigerator having a built in freezer)
14. More than one vehicle
15. More than one bathroom
16. More than one bedroom
17. More than one outfit per day of the week
18. More than one pair of shoes
19. Numerous sets of plates, flatware, glasses, utensils, and other eating devices
20. More than one house.
Some people may not want to own these items but that doesn’t mean they should be banned. Long as the person is not using them to harm people they should be allowed to own and use any item they want.

Well, there is always all out war against Democrats as a last resort.
Round ’em all up and arrest them for violating their Oath of Office for not supporting and defending the Constitution.
I’m more a fan of brick poop-houses. I totally respect your choice, though, and don’t really disagree. Just have slightly different priorities.
If you are talking about those currently in production, then I would agree. But I have two – or is it three? – Dan Wesson .357’s with heavy vent rib, and they have always been my fav’s. One of them was my First Handgun, and it is really smooth and accurate – bought new in 1977. The ability to set the barrel gap and have tension on both ends of the barrel seems to make a difference in accuracy.
I yield the floor to my friend the Gov in three . . . two . . . one . . .
I don’t know how many times I have read, “Repeal the NFA!” In this comment section on TTAG. Today people want to add items to NFA regulation. Right now you can buy one of these things over the counter. Would you honestly rather go through NFA B.S. to get one of these bump stocks later? Or would you rather not lose ground? I can see it now, and in 5 years some of you are going to be crying in this comment section about how bump stocks used to be legal and now you have to go through all this ATF horsecrap to get one.
Stealth cam P12 seems to be good for wildlife photography but depending on it for accurate game detection for hunting purpose is too much to ask from the camera.
Although the reactions among the users are confusing.
Just *imagine* what would happen if someone at S&W grew a spine and tossed out that stupid lock. I would never own a S&W with a trigger lock, there’s just nothing good about it.
Took me a year, but I finally found a pre-lock 686+. That little “+” surprise pushes it over the top for a great self-defense revolver. The bad guy might be able to count to 6, but he can’t tell you’re carrying 7!
Yeah , Sure who’s brokering that sale of the Brooklyn bridge!?
HELL! Let’s just give up the entire Bill of Rights! To Dangerous for most citizens..No one needs anything! Lets just reason-away

Stop. Giving. Money. To. The. N. R. A.
How many times must we teach you this lesson! Every single time I tell people they tell me the NRA has “changed” despite all evidence to the contrary like their support of the 2013 renewal of the Undetectable Firearms Act despite it now effecting existing guns (the reason they gave for supporting it) and utter lack of of condemnation of existing laws.
The guy was a pilot. I’m sure he knew that these tanks weren’t gonna be penetrated and that the fuel would not ignite easily.
All banning bump fire stocks will do is likely increase the number of killed in any attack.
Bump fire makes aiming near impossible. Any action that will result in a potential increase in deliberate aimed fire will increase the number killed in an mass shooting.
Plus, the murderer had a pilot license. Simply loading his plane with gasoline and crashing it into the concert attendees would have resulted in many many more deaths and injuries.
What is the NRA’s stance on Gatling Triggers? I hope they don’t get caught up in this ban also.
Trade bump stocks for suppressors, knowing that triggers such as the fostech echo, and franklin armory binary triggers now make these bumpfire stocks obsolete. They are far easier to control, and the early versions of the franklin armory trigger could actually go faster than the gun could run. Simply make sure that the bill ONLY bans stocks and not triggers.
Now UK snowflake, put up a “GUN FREE HOME” sign. Then take the locks off your doors and windows. Contact the local media for a little more show and tell. IDIOT!
