On tuesday President Trump said he’s directed AG Sessions to clarify if bump-stocks are illegal and to propose regulations to “ban all devices that turn legal weapons into machine guns.”
But then it gets weird. 25 minuets before the Associated Press made their tweet SlideFires website went down. 1o minutes later the website went from a server error to account suspended. When we reached out to SlideFire, their CEO thinks that someone may have pulled the plug even though no legislations or laws had been passed yet. That, or the webhosting company got the shit scared out of them.
However, One theory believes these actions against SlideFire are retaliation from the president for encroaching on his trademarked phrase, “Make America Great Again.” as SlideFire used the term for their Presidents Day sale.
Either way we were almost certain that “Bump-fire” stocks were going to be the sacrificial lamb after the Mandalay Bay shooting in vegas. So much so that we stopped ordering them. However since the school shooting liberals and democrats are losing their shit and are up in arms. As a result the republicans are offering up bump-stocks as a sacrificial lamb as a means of appeasement. As the president said he is moving to ban any device that turns an ordinary rifle into a machine guns which begs the question what are they going to define as a machine gun?
A direct quote from Sessions states, “Any Device that makes it easy to fire rounds quickly.”
What is disturbing about this is that it now goes from banning bump-stocks to essentially opening Pandora’s Box. This could mean that all of your Binary triggers, Drop in triggers, trigger springs, pretty much any mechanical part that has to do with the trigger will be banned! How can the DOJ and ATF possibly determine what is an acceptable rate of fire for a semi automatic fire arm? How are they going to determine what the allowable poundage on a trigger is?
It is time for Responsible Gun Owners to step up and educate their elected officials. Tell them the difference between a binary trigger and a regular trigger, what trigger springs do, etc. and fight. R.G.Os. and Republicans need to get involved and take action. Call those elected officials, write letters to your congressman, and if they are not willing to listen or play ball vote them out! Just posting to Facebook isn’t going to help the situation!
