The fact that he said ban devices that turn regular guns into machine guns, right after he mentioned wanting to change the definition to include bump stocks.
Trump issues memo to ban bump stocks
- Thread starter Celt
- Start date
It is disappointing.
On the other hand, I still have my guns.
As long as PRESIDENT TRUMP is in office, I don't see that changing.

But they don't turn legal weapons into a machine gun.
Okay, I saw that...
But bump stocks do NOT, I repeat, do NOT turn semi's into Full Auto's.
I think he and his people know that as well. Unlike many here, I will wait to see the final outcome.
They will define the meanings of the terms however they wish to suit there needs. As far as they are concerned machinegun may simply need to mean "shoot really fast".But they don't turn legal weapons into a machine gun.

It looks like he's leaving the way open for the Justice Dept. to keep them, since they are not "devices that turn legal weapons into machineguns".

The suspense is KILLING ME.
Well, somebody's gotta keep the faith I guess. I never had any to begin with. I gave credit where credit was due in relation to the economy, no more.
I need you to pat me on the head and tell me everything will be alright. And then give me a piece of candy. Can you do that for me?

Do you............. do you have any candy? I like Jolly Janchers. Or Laffy Taffy. Also Skittles.
Anything fruity really.
This is exactly what I mean by towing the line btw.
Trump could have actually passed the law specifically banning bump stocks and STILL people would say "Uhh...I'm sure it was just a typo."
I have never towed the line with any elected official. Not ever. I would have re-elected Bush if possible and I bad-mouthed him when needed.
As for Mr.Trump, I will bad-mouth him as well, if needed.
I have been a huge supporter from the start, all here know that, but again, If needed, I will tell it the way I see it.
If this memo came from Obama,would you say "Well, I'm sure it's a ll just a big understanding, he's just going to look into it."
Be honest.

Not sure. There were a few times that I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt. At least during his first term.
When it came to guns, usually not.
Also, Trump is not Obummer.
If the Hildabeast would have won and put out this same memo, no, I would not say the same thing.

This a pointless argument. What matters is what comes of this directive. @GOPerfect says he wants to wait for all the facts, fine, I do too. Its not looking good however. Frankly its not the bumpfire stocks themselves getting banned but the fact such represents the slippery slope getting coated in ice.
Horrible headline...
What he said was:
“I will say, personally, I think the gun violence — it’s a tragedy what we’ve seen yesterday, and I urge Congress to look at these issues,” Mnuchin said at a House Ways and Means Committee hearing.
I think Congress should be looking at things as well.
Treasury: Mnuchin doesn't support Congress examining new gun laws
Funny how so many take things said and twist them around.
What do we call that?
Oh yeah, FAKE NEWS!
Ack! Get away from me! Anything anice flavored I detest! Get me some Mike n' Ikes though and you're cookin' with gas!

Who knows, maybe this is Trump playing 4D chess again with the liberals. Maybe it's just his way of trying to pass reciprocity. If the liberals don't pass the "ban bumpstocks" bill, even if it's for the reasons of reciprocity being attached to it, then it looks like they're not following through on their narrative. It's possible he's a step ahead.
Then again, he could be caving -- but caving into things isn't Trump's style generally.
Really? There are more than 2 parties you know... I have this thing called free will.
Care to vote for "cheese sandwich" with me? I've done it a couple times. Other times I'd write Ron Paul in. Its a waste of time and the vote but thats the point.
PRESIDENT Trump just needs to stop trying to please people who cannot be pleased.
This has been proven over and over - most recently when a Reporter read excerpts from OBAMA's SOTU - and the city dwellers HATED it.
Afterwards when the Reporter explained those were OBAMA's words - and not Trump's - DEER IN THE HEADLIGHTS.
ALL GUN LAWS ARE BAD LAWS.

The time is ripe if you ask me.
