Heil Fuhrer Trump!
So Trump is all set to do his ban on "bump stocks." Let's look at a few aspects of this:
1 - This is not being done by legislation. It is being unilaterally done, dictator-style, by just declaring bump-stocks to fit within the definition of what is already "illegal," in direct contrast to the DOJ's own prior interpretation of the law, going back for decades. In other words, Trump is declaring that what the ATF and DOJ thought the law meant before wasn't authoritarian and controlling enough. (Incidentally, he could just as easily do the same thing with tri-burst trigger assemblies next.)
2 - Unlike the misnamed 1994 "assaults weapons ban," this dictatorial decree prohibits the possession of things that lots of people already legally own, and requires people to destroy or surrender them.
3 - This is a violation of the Fifth Amendment, in that in requires people to destroy or hand over their own previously "legal" property, without compensation.
4 - This is a violation of the Ninth and Tenth Amendments, since nothing in the Constitution gives the federal government any jurisdiction over such matters. (Of course, that is true of most federal "legislation," but Trump is continuing the totalitarian practice of pretending the state can do whatever the hell it wants.)
5 - This is a violation of the Second Amendment, as it constitutes federal legislation restricting the ability of the people to keep and bear arms. (Again, this certainly isn't the first example of that, but Trump is continuing the authoritarian bullshit.)
If your response to all of this is, "4D chess," you're an idiot. In fact, if you make excuses for it at all, you are a boot-licking pawn of a lawless, dictatorial megalomaniac, and just as bad as the twits who mindless cheered for Chairman Obama's authoritarian crap.
By the way, this is worse "gun control" than any Democrat President or Congress has passed in my lifetime, because it prohibits the possession of already-existing private property.
So let's see how many proud Trumpites have excuses for this.

I have an NFA trust and can already own an actual machine gun. I wonder if he's going to make those illegal too? You don't need a bump stock to bump fire a weapon either. I guess he'll have to make it illegal to push the rifle away from yourself as you hold your finger in the trigger well also. har har
That means YOU are still allowed to have a "bump stock," too. Because literally what he is doing is unilaterally declaring that the legal definition of "machine gun" (26 USC 5845) includes bump stocks. If you did all the tax bullshit to get "permission" to have them, you're fine. (Yes, the definition of "machine gun" is in Title 26, the federal TAX CODE.)
Perhaps this is a cash grab, another tax, and they just want to be able to charge all the people who bought and own a bump stock with the tax stamp fee? It could at least be part of it.
This is horrible and it appears to be pandering to liberals to increase approval ratings. The thing is though, i believe a lot of independents out there support Trump in a half ass way solely because the liberals have such insane notions of sprinting towards a nanny state and others just want to do whatever to make sure Democrats don't have power.
However, many of those, particularly Libertarians, really are not going to like this at all, not to mention the fact that his own die-hard supporters tend to be staunchly opposed to exactly this.
They're largely a useless novelty, but now I want one just to thumb my nose at Trump, other authoritarian busybodies in government, and their sycophants in the general public.
