No one acts like bump stocks existed before Sunday when actually they’ve been around for years. It was the Obama Administration Justice Department that approved the device, and no one got upset when that happened, not Democrat gun-grabbers nor Republicans. I watched YouTube videos of demonstrations when they first came out and I wasn’t impressed. I was always a marksman and prefer to aim at a target rather than “spray and pray” that I hit a target.<\/p>\n

Some dork was on Fox News this morning and said that bump stocks belong in the military inventory. I’m pretty sure that the military wants nothing to do with the device. <\/p>\n

But the NRA and Republicans are throwing the bump stocks under the bus. According to The Hill<\/a>, the Trump Administration is “taking a look” at a bump stock ban;<\/p>\n

Earlier Thursday, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders indicated the administration would weigh the proposals but stopped short of supporting a ban.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know that members of both parties and multiple organizations are planning to take a look at bump stocks and related devices,\u201d she said. \u201cWe\u2019d like to be a part of that conversation.\u201d <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

According to their website, Slidefire<\/a>, the folks who make bump stocks is overloaded by orders for their product;<\/p>\n

Funny, but phony Vietnam veteran, The Dick Blumenthal took to the pages of the Hartford Courant<\/a> to complain about Congress not taking guns from law-abiding citizens;<\/p>\n

The death toll is staggering and unacceptable: 30,000 every year. A mass shooting nearly every day. Congress is complicit in this mass slaughter through its incomprehensible inaction. I will not abandon the fight to make America safer and better.<\/p>\n

In the coming days, my Democratic colleagues in the Senate and I will offer commonsense, serious solutions to addressing the scourge of gun violence. These include legislation I will introduce to close background check loopholes and measures to keep guns out of the hands of domestic abusers. Wednesday, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., and I introduced a “bump stock” ban proposal to stop sales of mechanisms that convert semi-automatic assault rifles into fully automatic machine-gun like weapons. These carnage force multipliers should be banned.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A “mass shooting” every day. I’m expecting him to take up the “93 million gun violence deaths every day” of the Virginia carpetbagger governor. When Democrats offer “common sense” solutions, expect them to try to regulate things that have nothing to do with the safety of your family.<\/p>\n

The NRA and the Trump Administration have already decided that bump stocks are on their way out, but you can bet that Blumenthal and Feinstein are coming for your scary, black guns, too. Say goodbye to your bayonet lugs and grenade launcher mounts. Those “things that go up in the back” are history, too. No more “Ghost Guns” firing their bullet clips for you.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis must stop,\u201d [The Dick Blumenthal, valor thief] said. \u201cIt is positively infuriating that my colleagues in Congress are so afraid of the gun industry that they pretend there aren’t public policy responses to this epidemic. There are, and the thoughts and prayers of politicians are cruelly hollow if they are paired with continued legislative indifference. It’s time for Congress to get off its ass and do something.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“Do something” – legislate. Never mind that there are thousands of laws and regulations that the enforcers aren’t utilizing – write some more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
