Bump Stock Ban Update: Oh dear bog

1 Comment

I read a couple of the most recent responses from the government in the Aposhian and GOA challenges of the ban.

I see the government still fails to explain some points.

1. The government argues that pulling the action of the firearm forward to engage the trigger with the user’s finger the first time is a “pull of the trigger,” but then argues that pulling the action forward a second time is not a “pull of the trigger.” Why are identical acts not the same?

2. The government asserts that the Akins Accelerator is a machinegun because the spring absorbed recoil energy then used the stored energy to push the action forward again. And yet it then argues that using a rubber band to absorb recoil energy and push the action forward is not a machinegun. W.T.F?

3. “A ‘Single Function of the Trigger’ Is a ‘Single Pull of the Trigger’ and Analogous Motions,” but using the off-hand motion to engage the trigger is not an “analogous motion.”

4. And they still maintain that a BSTD, without spring or rubber band, is a machinegun, while a semi-auto without spring or rubber band is not, without saying why.

My head hurts.

Allow me to put that in perspective.

DOJ: This is a Cadillac.

DOJ: This is a Cadillac, too.

DOJ: This is a Chevy.

And the bobblehead judges are just nodding their unquestioning acceptance.

This nation is so screwed.

  1. I am starting to think that it is not going to make much difference before too long. The nation is on the brink of a very serious and very explosive event. The election of 2020 will be the final straw, no matter which way it goes. One side or the other will not let the results stand. The left will riot in the streets, and the right will wait until the left president starts to use their executive orders to steal every freedom that we hold dear, starting with our 2nd amendment rights.
    I don’t know how many people believe in the Apocalypse, as mentioned in the Book of Revelation, but it will possible usher in a battle that resembles that, if it is not indeed that battle.
    I fear not just for our nation, but for the entire world.
