Trump Administration Takes Action On Gun Control

The Trump administration took its first steps to ban bump stocks on guns through regulatory action Saturday morning.
The Department of Justice submitted notice of proposed regulation to clarify the meaning of “machinegun” in the National Firearms Act and Gun Control Act includes bump stock devices, and that federal law, therefore, prohibits their possession, sale, or manufacture.
“President Trump is absolutely committed to ensuring the safety and security of every American and he has directed us to propose a regulation addressing bump stocks,” said Attorney General Jeff Sessions in a statement.
Well I guess it does matter after all what Trump thinks about gun rights, and I guess he isn’t exactly the man he made himself out to be, is he?
Also noteworthy is that Trump praised Florida’s new gun control law, including the banning of bump stocks and the prohibition against persons under 21 from purchasing guns.
Yes, I know. Trump is better than Hillary. No, Trump isn’t pro-gun. Yes, Trump is who he made himself out to be. He never intimated that he was a strong second amendment supporter, at least as we understand the second amendment. His words were always limited to concealed carry and how it could help with crime. His son was always a Fudd, concerned more about hunters.
It’s the way it is folks. Trump gave us a little more time. He isn’t playing 3-D chess.

Trump IS better than HRC. But, once again as is so often the case, he is simply the lesser of two evils.

These are the “good ole days”. Use them wisely. Private gun purchases, 80% lower construction, parts , ammo, mags are suddenly my new priorities. It’s later than we think.

Here is the letter I sent him, not that anyone will read it.
“Mr. President,
No more gun control. Don’t be a one term failure. Put a stop to Fix NICS now. You already banned Bump Stocks and now you want to vastly add to the list of persons who have committed no crime but will have their second amendment rights stolen. You sir, are acting against the liberty of America.
You have lost my vote. I can no longer support you. You are a gun controller. You have declared war on the American people. Gun control means that you will be a one term failure.
We were almost there. We were going to Make America Great Again. But you don’t know America. Gun control is Hitlerian, Stalinist, Maoist and communistic. How can you make America great if you make it like Soviet Russia or Mao’s China? You can’t. You’re a gun controller and a failure. Sad.
I regret my prior decision to support you.”

Fred@0715,
Unfortunately, you have expressed my same, exact feelings toward Mr. Trump.

Trump is from New York, a Yankee. Trump is a Billionaire because He Plays Nice with the (((bolshevik))) Money Power. Trump’s Administration is filled with (((Snakes))) from New York Banks. Trump couldn’t Give a Shit about “We the People”, He is a Tool of the zionist/bolshevik dual-citizen Traitors to the Republic.
the Sooner the Patriots wrap their Heads around the Fact that Trump is just another Swamp-Dweller, the Better.
You Don’t Have Near Enough Ammo….

Hmmm… HRC ran from anti-gun NYC. Trump ran from anti-gun NYC. Even Uncle Bernie ran from anti-gun NYC.
Where’s the surprise?
