    If memory serves, the Obama administration (the one far right was screaming for 8 years was going to take away all the guns) specifically looked at bump stocks and said they were legal.

    Trump freaked out at the Las Vegas shooting and pushed the ban ASAP.

    "Take away their guns and worry about the due process later”

    Donald Trump.

      Quoting that anti-constitution anti-gun president got me banned from a libertarian subreddit back in the day. I made it very clear I was against his position on blatantly violating the Fourth Amendment. I guess they were just extremely triggered by the quote?

        There’s quite a lot of people out there who don’t actually have principles, they just have things they like and a team to root for.
