"President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he has signed a memo directing the Justice Department to propose regulations to ban all devices like the rapid-fire bump stocks involved in last years Las Vegas massacre."

What a fucking cowardly move. Sad

This is nothing. The NRA said they were willing to regulate bumpstocks after the Vegas shooting. It's just a meaningless gesture so they can say "look, we did something and it still didn't help!"

It isn't that though unfortunately. This is him straight up selling out. Check out this quote from the article.

We must move past clichs and tired debates and focus on evidence based solutions and security measures that actually work, Trump said."

That language at the end "evidence based solutions and security measures that actually work" is almost identical to the standard rhetoric of "common sense gun control measures"

What a loser president.

if he wanted to be truly helpful he'd look into comprehensive reform, not go along with an idea the NRA has already rubber stamped.

Meh.
A better solution would be let the CDC research gun violence.

Edit: I guess that's not a solution. Action would have been a better word.

One White House source told POLITICO that he and fellow administration officials were taken aback by the bump stock announcement. Theyd received no heads up, the person said, and wondered privately if Trump simply wanted to blunt accusations that he wasnt acting decisively.

Just like he said he would release his taxes after he was elected or that he wouldn't cut social security and Medicare or that he was a staunch ally of LGBT people. It's almost like he's a pathological liar!

If you legitimately think wanting to do something about the country's rising shooting problem is "selling out" and a "betrayal" then for the sake of your child, put him up for adoption


There's a difference in wanting to do something, and doing something that will actually help, like say stationing retired peace officers at schools. Not taking away rights from law abiding citizens.

I guess I'm ok with it. Bump stocks are a novelty imo are are mostly good for making noise and blowing through ammo. If banning them will make liberals shut up without doing any major harm to the gun community, that's fine.

The gun control issue is dealt with. Now we wait to see what happens in the future after this decision comes into effect. We're going to witness for ourselves how effective gun control will be and if it turns out that it doesn't help then the left will have to admit they're wrong.

Yeah, but those are fine because they target those dern libruls. Now, he's going after the stuff we actually care about!

Making schools a violent battlefield is not the answer. Lol


Clearly the idea is to get the problem to sort itself outside by letting everyone kill each other. There can't be gun violence if everyone is already dead.
