With the recent 1 year anniversary of the Las Vegas shooting in which a bump fire stock was used, the apparent ban of the firearm accessory is in the news once again. President Trump continues to insist that a ban is coming within the next several weeks.
While I am not a fan of the bump fire stock – they should not be banned. The banning is merely another ploy to please those gun control advocates who fail to understand the 2nd Amendment – as well as hardly have any firearm knowledge whatsoever. There are many in the firearm community who are stating that if this goes through Trump will lose many valuable votes in 2020. I especially would be displeased with his actions if he fails to secure something for the concession(build a wall!!!).
Currently, the proposed ruling on the bump fire ban will literally demand that all bump fire stocks and similar devices be turned in – or destroyed. There is no grandfathering in. If you continue to possess it after the specified date you will be in violation and I would assume be guilty of committing a felony.
Make me want to go out and buy one right now!
It’s an interesting phycological phenomenon that as soon as the government – or anyone else for that matter – says “You can’t have one of those XXXXXXX“, I want one. Maybe it’s just me.
Many in the gun community are also suggesting that the proposed ban will also include binary and similar triggers that dramatically increase the rate of fire in many semi-auto’s.
One of the most effective means of increasing the rate of fire to near fully automatic is the Fostech ECHO trigger. It provides two shots – one with the pull, and one with the release – with each trigger pull.
See the video below for demonstration and information:
Another option is the Franklin Armory 5550 BFSIII Binary Trigger. I have personal experience with the Franklin and it works great!
What we know is ANY gun control that is allowed to move forward is just one step closer to what the advocates want – complete disarmament.
With an uncertain future with the presidency after 2020 as well as a potential Democratic Congress – the 2nd Amendment is at serious risk.

Many people do not realize that the bump stock was issued under Obamas presidency.Rourke how did you do with snow? Any word how Panhandle Rancher is?

Nothing new has been done yet. No federal ban is in place.
re:
Legitimate authority
In the fUSA constitooshun, I don’t recall reading about the government agents banning anything. Just the opposite; I understand the constitooshun prevents the government agents from that sort of activity.
If it wasn’t authorized by The Founders, the government agents cannot do it.
