That's one legal option.Just make full autos legal again. Problem solved.
That technical argument is going to be the first line of attack in the coming lawsuits. The second line of attack will be the 5th Amendment "taking without compensation" argument, and the distant third line of attack will be that it's a 2nd Amendment infringement. I doubt that the courts will ever get to the 2nd Amendment considerations.Key words, "...single function of the trigger", the minute the gun recoils your finger away from the trigger it is no longer a "single function of the trigger." The trigger went from being pressed, to depressed, to pressed again. Not in any stretch of ones imagination is that a full auto scenario.
This is not accurate. A bump stock was not created "pre '86" therefore isn't transferrable as an NFA machine gun. It sucks, but those that own bump stocks have to destroy them or turn them over to be in compliance with this new rule.Technically, you still have a right to them. You just have to pay the NFA fee, and jump through hoops like the rest of us, now.

And my darn suppressor.

So they reword it in the legislature to a single function of the ''trigger finger'', and now we've lost bumpstocks and binary's. Seems even worse.
I'm OK with this. Pretty much giving up nothing.

I have the distinct feeling that the noose is tightening around my neck. I don't own any bump stocks, but this sets the precedent that semiautomatics, especially the AR-15, can reclassified as machine guns by mere administrative fiat. That, in combination with the Hughes Amendment, means that they can be declared contraband without grandfathering and without compensation. If you are subsequently caught with one, you could be sent to federal prison for up to 10 years. Trump might not do this, but his successor very well might.
Given that the NRA has taken on a decidedly orange tint lately I don’t see them raising even a tiny little peep about this. I know less than nothing about how to file a federal lawsuit. Is SAF or some other organization going to take the reins on opposing this?
I was confused as well, but chalked it up to misunderstanding. I have thick skin, it's evident by this forums membership of all places that we need to have thick skin on 2A issues with the arrows coming from the rear..
Do you people not realized that hundreds of guns can be described as violating the spirt of the law, or bypassing the restrictions, or how ever you want to put it. When you people start letting the gov decide what the law should mean instead of what it LITERALLY SAYS that is a very, very dangerous path.
What’s next
Pistol braces
Mossberg shockwaves
Taurus judges
Most semi auto rifles made in Cali in the last 20 years?
I guess we’ll have to let next lot of antigun politicians to take control to find out.... good job!
The question we ask ask anti gunners al the time is “why shouldn’t I as a law abiding citizen have the right to own a gun?”
That’s my question for you all...why should I as a law abiding citizen LOOSE the right to own a bump stock?”
Even if it was created before May 19, 1986, that's still not enough. It had to have been "lawfully possessed" (i.e., registered) prior to that date.This is not accurate. A bump stock was not created "pre '86" therefore isn't transferrable as an NFA machine gun.
It’s too bad when we elect someone that is “pro 2nd Amendment” we get sold out.
His re-election is already not going to be a cakewalk no need to ruffle the feathers of your supporters.
He didn’t even get anything out of it, like a trade for Dem support for other campaign promises he made.
I don't like and have no use for something so I'm ok with it being banned... Who's side are you on?
