The Trump administration has moved to ban the sale and possession of bump-stocks by march! This is one of the many things you need to be following. It starts with bump-stocks but are they going to start coming after other “Scary looking” Items? We as responsible gun owners need to continue to fight to keep the 2nd Amendment going strong.

People who own bump stocks will be required to either surrender them to the ATF or destroy them by late March, the official said. The change has undergone a legal review and the Justice Department and ATF are ready to fight any legal challenge that may be brought, the official added.

Quit just sharing shit on Facebook and actively get involved! Contact your state representatives or shit like this will keep happening. Pick up the phone, Send a letter, go vote.
