Those of you with bump stocks, what will you do?

[DavidMcmillan]

Well, the stock market could use a good bump.

So, the real concern is what are the feds/gov doing with the left hand now that they have us all focused on bump stocks and the right hand?

1) It's not an ex post facto law. That's a common misunderstanding. Ex post facto means declaring it illegal retroactively--passing a law today to say it was illegal to possess it yesterday. This isn't doing that; this is passing a law (or interpretation) today that makes it illegal to possess tomorrow (well, in 90 days). No retroactive effect, no ex post facto violation.

2) This isn't a "takings" issue under the Fifth Amendment. That refers to "taking for public use," as you note--this is simply declaring it contraband, and offering a means of compliance (get rid of it by giving it to us)...

[For the sake of Argument]

If it was legal to purchase/own at one point and later is 'declared' illegal to own, that means that the government is reaching back to 'confiscate' something that was legal at the time you purchased it. This is a consequence of the act of purchasing the article prior to the law/ruling/interpretation. You will be punished by a law(interpretation) that came into effect (or changed) after the purchase.

Since this property is going to be taken without a warrant, the government must have some public use in mind. Then, too, the Federal government has no power of eminent domain so I see nothing but violations galore of the rights of people.

No, I ripped it from Paratus 46’s instagram. No idea where he got it from.

My feedtruck gun gets the stock bumped all the time. I can't imagine folks destroying em just to buy a new one to bump around. Is the economy sooo great that folks figure we should buy a new gun when the one we own has a bump on the stock?

What will I do?
I don't own nor want a bump stock for any of my firearms but I will "continue to dream about and hope for a Totally Free America".
