STOP THE BUMP-STOCK BAN


"When they give us that inch, that bump stock ban, we will take a mile" - Delaney Tarr

 

 

The bureau of Alcohol,  Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) wants to change the language defining a Machine gun to include "Bump-Stock Type Devices" by wrongly claiming that "these devices convert an otherwise semiautomatic firearm into a machinegun" that are  "able to produce automatic fire with a single pull of the trigger."

A Bump-Stock actually requires Multiple pulls of the trigger in order to operate the gun.  
This is a very dangerous precedent that could bring all semi-automatic firearms under the National Firearms Act (NFA).

 

The Gun Grabbers have already made noises in this direction: Gun Control That Actually Works

 

 

The ATF has to play by the rules in making them up for everyone else.   This means it has to go through the proper channels in changing the law.

IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED!

 

 



DELIVER THIS MESSAGE

I'm writing today to speak against the proposed rule that would, by fiat, make Bump-Stock Type Devices illegal.

 

There are several issues with this proposed rule:

1. Changing the language of an existing law by executive fiat.

The Legislative branch is supposed to write the laws, while the executive branch enforces them.  It would be a severe case of executive overreach if it can make these changes on its own.

2. The proposed rule changes the definition of a "Machinegun", setting a dangerous precedent for future overreach.

3. The proposed rule wrongly declares that "a semiautomatic firearm to which a bump-stock-type device is attached is able to produce automatic fire with a single pull of the trigger."


4. In trying to thread the needle in banning these devices, the ATF is setting up for future overreach in bringing all semi-automatic firearms under the National Firearms Act (NFA).

5. This propose rule would be unconstitutional on multiple levels.

For these reasons, I must insist that the BATFE immediately discard any thoughts of imposing this rule making “Bump-Stock Type Devices” illegal.

 

Respectfully,
