When Trump called for a ban on “Bump Stocks,” he ignored his pledge to support the Second Amendment; capitulating completely to the antigun crowd.
As if the Republican controlled Senate’s failure to enact national concealed handgun carry reciprocity legislation and President Trump’s failure to push forward a pro-Second Amendment agenda during his first two years in Office weren’t bad enough—a serious failure of omission on the part of both the U.S. Senate and the President—Trump’s ban on“bump stocks”—an act of commission—is even worse. |

This is an overreaction. Bump stocks are not critical firearm components, and are not within the ambit of 2A protection. Are they fun? Sure. But the 2A isn’t about fun; it’s about the bottom line, and conflating this stupid issue with that is shallow, misguided and unfortunate and it undermines and devalues the real principle.
Attacking the president over this is picayune. Who would you rather have – HILLARY?
Please. Grow up. This just isn’t that important. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.' The right of the whole people, old and young, men, women and boys, and not militia only, to keep and bear arms of every description, and not such merely as are used by the militia, shall not be infringed, curtailed, or broken in upon, in the smallest degree; and all this for the important end to be attained: the rearing up and qualifying a well-regulated militia, so vitally necessary to the security of a free State. Our opinion is that any law, State or Federal, is repugnant to the Constitution, and void, which contravenes this right. [Nunn vs. State, 1 Ga. (1 Kel.) 243, at 251 (1846)] |
