There is the "pro Second Amendment" president I keep hearing about..... nothing but another piece of ****.

Kinda ironic that Trump appears willing and capable of meeting the very literal promise he made on banning bumpstocks, but everything else is negotiation.
Its almost like he isn't really a full 2A supporter....
I'd always heard it as Negotiate Rights Away.Not
Real
Activists
I cannot see any modern politician, regardless of party, adopting deregulation of full automatic firearms as part of his or her campaign platform.
True, but the rhetoric is important even if the goal is infeasible.Not in this political climate. Nope. Not gonna happen.

All the language out there says that it’s an outright “turn in or destroy” rule, according to ATF there are over 520,000 out there, however this isn’t accounting for printed and home made devices either, ARF com had a long multi-page multi-thread discussion with people lending their printers to making bump fire devices, my guess there’s well more than a million bump fire devices out there.meh. They don't do a thing for me. I dont have one, don't want one. Im a vet, 14 years, many as the squad gunner. FA fire does little to excite me these days after firing literally tens of thousands of FA rounds through various platforms.
That said, I don't think they should be banned outright, or even really regulated as I do not think appropriate language could be found without putting semi-autos in jeopardy period.
i am curious though, what will they say/do about the bumpstocks already in circulation? Confiscation would set up HUGE court battles I believe that would end in the Supreme Court, not that I fully trust them.

only proper course of action is to open the registry, with 3d printers and all of that out there, the cat is out of the bag
Trump's action isn't really a law, it is an administrative regulation which claims to reinterpret the statutory definition of "machine gun". The registry cannot be reopened without a Congressional act. If allowed by the courts, this is a confiscation order for approximately a million freshly illegal "machine guns".I really doubt they are going to open the registry, unless it's under some supremely limited way, for fear of letting a whole bunch of new machine guns in. If a bumpstock equipped AR15 or AK47 is going to be considered a machinegun and registered, then why not just convert the gun to proper full auto at that point, since you've already had to register it. Then all of a sudden they have a million plus new machine guns in the registry.
So, unless this law creates some new category of NFA item, I don't imagine they'll go through with it.

But... but... but I thought nobody was going to be taking away guns.
If that doesn't tell you that Republicans are also complete garbage on gun rights, I don't know what will.
Now, would I accept a ban on bumpstocks if we get to pull SBR's and SBS's out of the NFA? Yes, probably.
I'm kind of surprised YouTube hasn't yanked those videos.
