No. Trump is Trump's friend. Says whatever the situation requires.
Did you think otherwise?

With respect. Bump stocks are 90% useless.
The way I see it. Is with the liberal House coming into power and Peelousy having a good chance of being speaker [ or someone she can control]
She and Trump are going to need each other. to get anything done. So the bump stock thing is a trade off. [ not that I like it]

I thought it was "a trade off" for national CCW.
Or "a trade off" so they didn't just ban all semis.
Or "a trade off"...
You know what, this trade doesn't appeal to me. I want out.

^^ can't argue with that fact. But still he wants another Run. And WE are the ones who can put him in or take him out.
Pretty sure he has another trick up his sleeve.

I’m going to pin my bumpstock so it still looks tactical! Maybe put it on my bolt gun.

Piss off who it will, I pretty much agree with this. Is full auto a fun experience? Probably is, I wouldn't know. The only useful purpose I see for them is as a weapon used to defend against a tyrannical government.
I can't see using one in my home. Obviously not for hunting (I prefer arrow wounding anyway). Is this giving in to more restriction? Sure, which I'm against as the restrictions are already a joke and getting worse. Is this really worth getting panties in a bunch over?
Without starting another "Vegas was a fake event" discussion, I believe this incident would've been a lot less horrible if bump stocks were not employed.
If I'm missing something, tell me. It's been a long day so I'm not thinking clearly.
I really hoped for better.

Time for the other side to give on something. It shouldn’t always be us.

IMO, whether or not you agree or if you can/can't find a use is completely irrelevant. You and others appear to be blaming an inanimate object for the actions of a defective human.
You are missing everything with this post.

Elaborate.
1. Whether or not you find a use for something is irrelevant.
2. It would be a terrible weapon for use against "a tyrannical government." They are a novelty. That said, wouldn't their use as a weapon against the government be, literally, the most relevant reason they cannot be banned? Isn't that the meaning of the 2A?
3. You mentioned hunting. Not sure why.
4. We're way past the point of things we need to be getting our panties in a bunch over.
5. The most, honestly insulting, egregious thing you did was about the Vegas shooting. If we banned item X, we'd have saved lives. That in itself is wrong on many levels.
Would Vegas have been a lot less horrible if a box truck full of ANFO was employed?

Hope is not a tactic.

I had to look up ANFO. I dont understand your statement.
I see everyone's point. Give them an inch, they take a mile, and I agree. Maybe I'm looking at it wrong because I just dont care about bump stocks.
I replied in Italics. Brain was in email mode so everything I wrote appears in your post looking like you posted it. I'm too tired to fix this now.

"Would this also apply to people possessing something such as explosives, poisonous chemicals, dangerous viral cultures, or to stretch it...nuclear weapons or such materials?"
Yes. What's currently preventing someone that wants to commit genocide from dropping a nuke? Words on paper? No.
"Are automatic weapons not currently employed by the military? If semi auto were the option of choice, I'd think they would go that route."
There is a reason they have a selector switch. Look up "suppressive fire."
It got so bad in Vietnam that they took away full auto for 3 round burst.
"Because the use of weapons deemed as "assualt weapons" by the uneducated are in fact viable as hunting tools. You wouldn't use a bump stock for hunting."
What does hunting have to do with anything whatsoever?
"How so. If I do the math, more bullets sent down = potential for more hits. If he had no bump stocks and 42 friends firing semi auto them I guess the rounds fired might equal out. If you can explain your statement."
Common misconception. Full auto isn't designed for spray firing into groups.
Full auto = less time your ammo would last. They're lucky it was a bump stock. Regular semi would have more likely than not been more lethal.

Agreed, they are mutually exclusive.
