      I questioned senior DOJ officials on the bump stock ban and confiscation plan. I asked them about enforcement. I asked them about the logic of the ban. I asked them about the Takings Clause. Here is what they had to say:https://freebeacon.com/issues/trump-doj-announces-bump-stock-ban-confiscation/ …

      DOJ more or less told me they're hoping people voluntarily give up their bump stocks. They won't go door to door to collect them. But they will prosecute people found with them after the deadline of March 21st.https://freebeacon.com/issues/trump-doj-announces-bump-stock-ban-confiscation/ …

      DOJ couldn't explain why their logic for banning bump stocks couldn't apply to any semi-automatic firearm that could successfully be bump fired even without a stock (which is pretty much all of them).https://freebeacon.com/issues/trump-doj-announces-bump-stock-ban-confiscation/ …

          The officials said they only examined bump fire stocks and not bump firing as a whole. They are banning the device, not the shooting technique.https://freebeacon.com/issues/trump-doj-announces-bump-stock-ban-confiscation/ …

          If you don't turn it in, they will take all your guns, because you will be a felon. Get ready for the government to start killing Americans to save everyone from bumpstocks.

          Of course they couldn’t. It’s the beginning of a slippery slope and this is a terrible precedent to set. I fear the consequences can be far-reaching.

          Bumpfire is a technique not a part Bump fire is not full auto & does not make a machine gun Any law restricting "rate increasing devices/component" can be interpreted to include replacement, upgrade and repair parts as well as performance gunsmithinghttps://youtu.be/kryIJIrD5eQ

          Sounds like their approach is that this will be a charge they can pile on if/when someone commits some other crime while using/possessing a bump stock. Of course, the next Administration may not be so lenient.

          Best case - Forces review of entire NFA. Worst case - Ban is upheld but this also means that if items can be added by regulation, they can be removed by regulation - ie Suppressors.
