stevenash Posted October 5, 2017 Report Posted October 5, 2017 Just heard from a reasonably reliable source that bump stocks were approved by the ATF in 2010 during the Obama administration. Just trying to figure out if this will be blamed on Bush because it was way too early for blaming Trump. Quote
LumRaiderFan Posted October 5, 2017 Report Posted October 5, 2017 I believe that is true...can you imagine the field day the media would have had if this happened under Bush or Trump? Quote
stevenash Posted October 6, 2017 Author Report Posted October 6, 2017 would have been front page of every major newspaper and MSNBC would have done a 72 hour non stop special on it Quote
westend1 Posted October 9, 2017 Report Posted October 9, 2017 These things were created and patented in 2010. The ATF didnt approve anything. Because it is not a firearm, they refused to act. Like silencers, it takes a tragedy to realize how dumb the idea really is. Even the NRA is scared of this thing. Quote
77 Posted October 9, 2017 Report Posted October 9, 2017 So Obamas ATF didnt act on it glad we can agree! Quote

That administration was so insightful, so forward looking, so sophisticated, so compassionate, so engaged, so civil. It's gotta be Bush's fault. Quote

westend1 Posted October 9, 2017 Report Posted October 9, 2017 But you guys do agree that the slide stock is a dumb idea? Quote
77 Posted October 9, 2017 Report Posted October 9, 2017 you can ban it and I can assure you any machine shop can build it and sell it on the side! We dont enforce laws on the books and no laws will stop these sickos! Quote

You do know that silencers don’t really make the gun silent right? I hate to break it to you, but James Bond isn’t real life. Quote
Hagar Posted October 10, 2017 Report Posted October 10, 2017 Here's Dianne Feinstein's solution. There's an old saying about 'letting the camels nose under the tent'. Never, ever, trust a Democrat on gun legislation. This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up Quote

Once a ban on any device is in place, all that is necessary to ban other devices is make them fit the definition in the legislation. Quote
