You can still own a full auto as an individual. Takes a pretty penny and about two years of waiting, but you can. Bump fire, believe it or not, is possible without a bump stock. By your definition, we should ban bump fire altogether. And really fast trigger fingers. And aftermarket triggers. The list goes on. Of course, gun grabbers don't mind that at all. But that's neither here nor there I guess. "The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semi-automatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations," the NRA said in a statement in October. They are not gun grabbers. Edited March 1, 2018 by Rockpile233 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not gun grabbers. No, but they are Fudd imbeciles. That's why they don't get my money. The GOA does. But notice that they didn't say "ban." And the ATF declined to put additional regulations on bump stocks way back in 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well not physically on me. That would be gay, really gay. And... I wouldn't want to be a tool carrying around multi multi-tools. That's over-compensating. Not that there is anything wrong with that, to each their own. Anyway, I think the uniform service (@ least the Army) uses the Gerber. Strange, one of our safety awards given to us by the Army was a Leatherman. Engraved with the Corps castle on it. Pretty handy tool, but I like the Gerber better. 1 minute ago, LeviF91 said: No, but they are Fudd imbeciles. That's why they don't get my money. The GOA does. But notice that they didn't say "ban."

This quote from Paul has long been displayed prominently on the home page of the Gun Owners of America website, and Paul was the only 2008 presidential candidate to receive an A+ grade from Gun Owners of America.

Rockpile233 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 (edited) You lost me at Ron Paul... But anway is a bump stock even an “arm”? If representation does in fact craft a bill to ban sales of them and Trump signs it, how would the court interpret that? It’s a very different climate than 2010 despite it being not that long ago. I’m really asking here how you think they would interpret it I’m not pretending to know. Edited March 1, 2018 by Rockpile233 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m really asking here how you think they would interpret it I’m not pretending to know. The new court has basically taken zero 2nd Amendment cases at this point. A recent case that DC lost didn't even see the USSC's desk because DC decided not to appeal. Historically, the USSC has taken very few cases regarding firearm modifications. In other words: who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other words: who knows? To me I would say a modification is not a firearm and thus wouldn’t be guaranteed under the second, but I’m in mechanical contracting and not constitutional law. We’ll see if they even attempt legislation, I imagine this conversation will die down again soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I've learned about Con Law: you can make a decent argument for anything (though that never meant that Scalia [RIP] wouldn't mercilessly mock you for it).
