    Ed Markey Retweeted NPR Politics

    A regulation - not a law - is finally being issued to ban bump stocks. This is welcome news. But the country shouldn’t have had to wait a year+ after Vegas to get the most basic regulation. It’s testament to how hard we’ll need to fight to get the comprehensive gun safety we needhttps://twitter.com/nprpolitics/status/1075057400334422017 …

    JUST IN: The Justice Department has amended the regulations of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives to clarify that bump-stock-type devices are "machine guns" and are illegal.

        Yes, look at all the gun laws you’ve brought to vote! (Checks notes...) Zero.

        The minority party does not control what bills get passed through committee onto the floor for a vote. The Repubs would defeat any bill even if it made it to the floor. Ever heard of the NRA?

        If bumpstocks become classified as a machine gun, that just opens the door to classify ANY gun as a machine gun. Typical liberal agenda. Hopefully this will be challenged and overturned.

        Speaking of regulations and their repeal, did you happen to notice how the average internet download speed has increased dramatically since Net Neutrality was eliminated?

        It's like putting a Band-Aid on a bullet wound. It helps but it doesn't solve the problem we're having

        In a republican-controlled Congress, it’s a start. I agree that it’s barely a start, but it’s the first move toward common sense gun safety. Easier for an object in motion to stay in motion....

        Bump stock is just that and nothing more. Has nothing to with the mechanism of the rifle firing itself. This is why you should consult with industry on this and not make emotional outbursts such as these makes you seem uneducated in this field.
