    I learn something new every day. Apparently "bump stocks" turn regular semi automatic rifles into machine guns. It's sad that the generic public (sheeple) will not understand this and only hear the word "machine gun."

    The whole world is against Trump. Except those of us who voted for him and most of us are gun owners.

    I am surprised he would even entertain the idea of taking us down a notch unless he thinks the risk isn't worth the reward.

    He used the word "machine gun" in his letter several times. Bump stocks do not a machine gun make. Let's hope that language was purposeful.

    "Just a few moments ago, I signed a memorandum directing the Attorney General to propose regulations to ban all devices that turn legal weapons into machine guns," said Trump.

    Is this a crafty Trump statement, or is this a caving? Because "devices that turn legal weapons into machine guns" are already regulated.

    Hopefully, it's the former, and he's playing the dims for fools, and not a harbinger of policy shifts to come.
