If the appointee isn't getting rid of NFA type laws I don't give a shit.

Sure they can. As the Democrats are teaching us, it's all about redefining what the terms they use to classify firearms mean. do it right and "full auto" no longer will fall under the ATF's purview.

If one ATF can decide that a semiautomatic firearm with a bump stock is a machinegun, another can decide that only belt fed firearms with a quick change barrel are machineguns.

Once you decide that the actual text of the law doesn't matter (i.e. one round per pull of the trigger), then it can mean whatever the people enforcing it want it to mean.

Maybe the ATF will decide that when Congress outlawed machineguns they *really* meant abortion tools, and all doctors who perform them will be required to use tools that were registered before 1986.

Well I mean it was a Republican administration that redefined machine gun to include bump stocks. But hey your bias is showing

yes, and so is yours.

 

[Edwardteach72]

yes, and so is yours.

What bias am I showing?

Hell democratic president tried 2 (total of 3 times if you count the original ATF ruling) times to get bumpstocks classified as machine guns. But every time the ATF came back with nope they are legal because the letter of the law..

Republican president takes over and demanded that the ATF change the wording of the law (hmmm weird that's what Congress is for) to make bumpstock machine guns.

But yes my bias is showing.......

The atf can make a bumpstock a machine gun. Not attached to a semi rifle but the piece of plastic itself. Quite ridiculous. So they can just as easily make it so that a machine gun is defined as a gun with a machine in it powered by gas or electric. That would leave very few guns that are actually machine guns. But it would be a start.
