DiFI: Trump is WRONG on bump stocks. Banning them can ONLY be done by passing my legislation,

[riversedge]

Trump this morning said he was going to do it himself--which I take to mean-to sign an executive order.

The president is WRONG on bump stocks. Banning them can ONLY be done by passing my legislation, or else it’s going to be tied up in court for years. Anyone who says they support banning bump stocks needs to support our bill. #BanBumpStocks

1. I don't think anyone expects Trump to be right ... about anything ... ever! - n/t

[Wellstone ruled]

2. Trump knows dam well it takes

legislation. Hunch says,he gets his cliff notes from Stevie Miller before he engages the Media. We are dealing with a total Idiot.

3. Dear Leader doesn't realize they're a gun part, not a machine gun.

[PoliticAverse]

4. Does her bill also ban all the youtube videos showing people how to bump fire without a bump stock?

[NewDem17]

7. Wouldn't that interfere with the 1st?

Don't people have the right to make those videos under the 1st amendment?

[PoliticAverse]

8. Yes. Thus the problem rendering any "bump stock ban" less than effective. n/t

10. Shouldn't that mean the assault weapon ban should be put back in place?

[DownFromTheMountain]

5. He's clueless..and hang on a minute...

Does it not beg the question of banning automatic weapons themselves, if we would ban a part that enables a gun to become"automatic".
This half hearted effort to offer banning bump stocks leads to a bigger misstep in the logic...just ban automatic weapons, then.

9. Automatic weapons haven't been a problem..rarely if ever used for crimes.

Last time I can remember was the North Hollywood shootout in 1997.

Maybe you are thinking of banning semi-automatic weapons, but good luck getting that to happen.

6. Grounds for impeachment.

Wouldn't banning them through executive order be grounds for impeachment?

The president cannot make laws, and to attempt to could let us finally throw him out of the presidency.
