The bump stock was used in the Las Vegas shooting. Trump wants to ban it. He has asked Sessions to start the process. Process complete. Bump stock banned. Trump banned the bump stock.
I'm aware of where it was allegedly used, but Trump doesn't necessarily want to ban it. Talking about banning it is a token gesture to get the gun grabbers to STFU.

When I leave the house, I always have a pistol in the car - even when I go to car shows. The pistol is in a holster, and is in contition-1 status (cocked and locked, with one in the pipe, and the thumb safety is on) unless I'm cleaning it. I like 1911's because I feel they're safer than Glocks (Glocks don't have a thumb safety, and aren't heavy enough to beat your opponent to death if you run out of ammo). I ain't Rambo, and don't pretend to be, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

Good for you. What does any of this have to do with your racist comment?
It's not racist, I'm white myself. But I was really surprised I admit. Most of the gun owners on youtube and elsewhere on the Internet talking about this are quite the opposite of reasonable and guess what color they are.

If it's about the "crazy 1 in a million", why should *I* - as a rational and responsible gun owner - be subjected to additional laws and restrictions that INCLUDE threatening to get the 2nd Amendment repealed? Laws and restrictions only serve to infringe on the 2nd Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens, and do NOTHING to effectively keep guns out of the hands of people bent on visiting evil on the world.

Either you agree to have your RIGHTS curbed or you make it easy for anyone to buy a semi-automatic rifle and murder kids and teachers at school. It's a fairly simple choice.

They're only "murder weapons" when someone uses them for that purpose, like arrows, knives, bats, rope, cars, plastic bags, stairs, what have you. The Amendments were crafted by men who recognized the natural right to self defense and freedom from oppression.

When you pry the gun from my cold dead hands, be careful - the barrel will be very hot. - JSOP, 2013They are tools that are exclusively designed for murder on a large scale, unlike knives, ropes and cars. There are no maurauding bands of pirates you need to fend of, and hence, you don't need cannons. The right to self-defense does not mean that you need to be able to buy submargines and jet-fighters. Like nuclear missiles - you don't need them, and you having those weapons is creating a risc. You're not allowed to take those things on a plane, because the introduction of the tool is more dangerous than those bogeymen that you claim are out to get you. Grow up.

Of course some might think that they have a responsibility to their fellow man to consider the lives of children to be more important than their right to own a piece of metal that they don't really need. But if you think your rights are more important than your responsibilities then who am I to argue.

Agreed 100%. Bad guys and crazies are called that for a reason: they don't follow the rules. I live too far away from the city for the police (sheriff, actually) to be of any benefit should I need them. Yes, I am going to defend my family and homestead using legally purchased firearms.

No, but it has a telescoping stock (which is an indicator that the rifle is, in some way, evil - if you believe the statistics). It's also not black any more, so I suppose you could say it's less evil than it was when it was black.

Let's just make sure all you gun grabbing leftist liberals know what kind of world you are proposing: In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, a total of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated. China established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated. Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. Cambodia established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977, one million educated people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Oh I get it now. So which one of these does the US resemble most closely? China? Cambodia? meh, I guess Germany 1938 is the closest one. I hope you are aware that most countries in Europe have tight gun control laws and nobody has been rounded up yet.

And just to make sure that we know the true nature of the gun grabbers In 1865 a Democrat shot and killed Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States. In 1881 a left wing radical Democrat shot James Garfield, President of the United States - who later died from the wound. In 1963 a radical left wing socialist shot and killed John F. Kennedy, President of the United States. In 1975 a left wing radical Democrat fired shots at Gerald Ford, President of the United States. In 1983 a registered Democrat shot and wounded Ronald Reagan, President of the United States. In 1984 James Hubert, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 22 people in a McDonalds restaurant. In 1986 Patrick Sherrill, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 15 people in an Oklahoma post office. In 1990 James Pough, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 10 people at a GMAC office. In 1991 George Hennard, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 23 people in a Luby's cafeteria in Killeen , TX. In 1995 James Daniel Simpson, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 5 coworkers in a Texas laboratory. In 1999 Larry Asbrook, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 8 people at a church service. In 2001 a left wing radical Democrat fired shots at the White House in a failed attempt to kill George W. Bush, President of the US ... In 2003 Douglas Williams, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 7 people at a Lockheed Martin plant. In 2007 a registered Democrat named Seung - Hui Cho, shot and killed 32 people in Virginia Tech. In 2010 a mentally ill registered Democrat named Jared Lee Loughner, shot Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and killed 6 others. In 2011 a registered Democrat named James Holmes, went into a movie theater and shot and killed 12 people. In 2012 Andrew Engeldinger, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 7 people in Minneapolis. In 2013 a registered Democrat named Adam Lanza, shot and killed 26 people in a school in Newtown , CT. As recently as Sept 2013, an angry Democrat shot 12 at a Navy ship yard. Clearly, there is a problem with Democrats and guns. *Not one *NRA member, Tea Party member, or Republican conservative was involved in any of these shootings and murders.

The primary purpose of the 2nd amendment is for protection against the tyrants that try to eliminate the 2nd amendment. Because the 2nd amendment is only the first amendment that tyrants will eliminate. And after tyrants have eliminated the constitution. And the only way to eliminate these things is to eliminate people who believe in them and want to keep their unalienable rights.
