I honestly don't give a shit about bump stocks and other law workarounds but there's no reason to give them up without something in return.

If he can't prove it then I will assume he's lying. I do not give Trump the benefit of a doubt.

As someone who rags on Trump for lots of things, I gotta give credit where credit is due. This is a good step forward.

He also signed legislation saying that he'd sanction Russia. Let's not count our chicken before they're hatched.

What happened to that is that two of the biggest gun grabbers, Nancy Pelosi and Diane Feinstein, got caught on camera admitting, respectively, that gun control WAS a slippery slope and that no laws would have stopped the Las Vegas shooting. With no avenue for further gun control after that, coverage of the event fell off the radar.

This. If he actually follows through, Ill give him credit where its due.

That said, I am speaking from a place of ignorance on this, but I do have a very gun-familiar friend who said there is such a thing as a bump technique to do it without the stock, but its just significantly less comfortable. Either way, its a start.

This, incidentally, is a perfect example of why some gun lobbyists are disgusting.

These are dangerous, I dont even care about them, but Im not giving them up unless you give me something. Mine mine mine mine mine

There's a way to do it by putting your thumb through your belt loop and then firing from the hip. You hurt yourself and have like no accuracy at all and kill your rounds per minute because you reload slow as fuck because your hand is stuck in a belt loop.

You can also kind of pull it off by just not gripping the gun tight but you usually only fire off three or so inaccurate as fuck shots and risk dropping the gun.

This was four months too late and it's going to be used as a deflection for any real gun reform moving forward.

Most certainly not a good move

A bump stock is good for spraying a lot of bullets when you don't care about accuracy, and not much else. There's no reason to want to do that other than indiscriminate mass murder.

But what about RESPONSIBLE GUN OWNERS who want to have it because they can?!
