Actually Brent (and others) you are correct. I was confusing the bump stock ruling that Trump did come up with with the recent ruling that our little communist governess tried to get through with the braces on pistols. In her mind that made the weapon into a short barreled rifle that could be fired from the shoulder like a conventional stocked, longer barreled rifle. Both of the impromptu rulings made me so furious that I confused the two when I posted earlier. Thanks for the catch.

Actually, Perry, you are correct I was correct.

Brent, somewhere in your response there is probably wisdom?? I am still wondering if there was something in your comment that I may have missed??????

Yup. You missed it. That is okay.

sure wish i thought that restoring bump stocks to mail order availability would be a public relations coup for hunters and gun owners....i fear it will have the exact opposite effect.

best regards,

The last era I can remember hunters or gun owners were shown in a favorable light was an episode of “The Wide World of Sports” that showed a North Eastern grouse hunt, complete with some awesome dog work with an English Setter. The guys hunted up to an edge of a new housing development and remarked that they used to hunt all the way to the river on the other end in years past.

This was circa 1971, I’m guessing.

A few years later came a CBS hit job, that was called “The Guns of Autumn” that slandered all hunters, but especially deer hunters.

Since then, the work done by sportsman’s groups and the funds generated by participants in hunting and fishing are pretty much belittled and mocked regularly by the mainstream media.

Looking for a public relations coup for Sportsman from the media is a fool’s errand.

It will serve to distract the public from the way those "justices" are bopping around the planet on holiday on someone else's dime.

These recent types of rulings and regulations are almost always the product of knee-jerk "we have to do something" reaction. They are not well thought out and fail to address the real problems of mental health and violent criminals still obtaining firearms.

Bump Stocks, arm braces, and the recent ATF reimagining of the definition of a dealer show the decline and even loss of firearms technical knowledge and experience within ATF. In the case of the bump stocks, ATF actually reinterpreted the definition of a "machinegun" and even what "function of the trigger" meant to get those banned.

The most recent ruling on what is a dealer is extremely vague and reads like it was written by a summer intern. It will share the same fate as bump stocks.

The real lesson in all of this is Congress makes our laws, not unelected political appointees or employees.

Were it only so….

Do you, per chance, remember the push to make schools “gun free zones”? The average yocal probably got a warm fuzzy all over as he thought of the symbolism of greater safety for those most vulnerable.

The people implementing this nonsense knew exactly what was going to happen, and, indeed, it came to pass almost immediately. Nut jobs began to target the most vulnerable and least protected. This, WAS BY DESIGN. Quit pretending. The hardest core of the leftists selected the most efficient way to attack the second amendment, really, the only way, and shoved it down the throats of the people who pay for the schools.

It was macabre, vicious, lethal, sinister, and evil. They did it, knowing full well the consequences. The evidence that the evil understood completely what they were doing is that not a single one of them put a sign with that nonsense on their domiciles. Because, you know, that would be crazy.

Remember, always, that is the level of evil that is out to alter the constitution. The ends, always, always justify the means.

Ted, you are exactly correct. The communists dance in the blood of the innocent.
