Maybe, we should worry about who is put in charge of reasonable taxes... I vote for KY. Then we will print money and be the United States of Venezuela.
Heck, add Great Britain too. _________________________ They needed a Maggie and got a May.

I have no interest in semiautomatic rifles of any kind, but I do think that the takings clause of the 5th amendment might apply. If the government is going to confiscate items that were completely legal when purchased, it ought to pay the owners the value of the things taken.

Remington 40X, If we want the simi-auto guys to help us when our guns are in danger of being taken, we have to help them when theirs are in danger. The other side wants to break us apart, then take us on one little group at a time. Did you ever wonder why they were able to say 18 year olds shouldn't be able to buy long guns, since they can't buy pistols? It's because someone made a "reasonable compromise", before, to disallow purchase of pistols by them. I bought my first single shot 22 by mail order, when I was 12 years old; somebody "compromised" all that away too. Mike

Defending bump stocks and saying that their ban is just the tip of an ice burg strikes me as foolish, and in the long run, harmful to gun rights. What mature, responsible person would want a bump stock? Someone who finds using one to be amusing is someone whose judgement ought to be questioned. When gun owners support any damned thing having to do with firearms, we present ourselves as morons. As for confiscatory taxation, didn't you just get a break? Who are we going to raise government revenue from if we don't tax the ones who have all the wealth?

So given that this is a fate accompli, or whatever, are bump stocks actually being turned in? Are there bumpstock burnings going on all over the country? I have not heard a peep about what is actually happening.

President Trump will very likely be about as energetic with enforcing the bump-stock ban as Obama was about enforcing our immigration laws...Geo

These little suckers will be next. We had something similar when I was in college in the 1970s. We all bought Marlin tube feed .22 rifles (model 60s) and could empty the 19 round tube in a matter of a few seconds. Couldn't aim it worth a damn, but you could mow down a bunch of beer cans in a nano-second. https://www.galatiinternational.com/bmf-trigger-activator-1022-22-rifle-rapid-fire-crank.html
