Grassley Caves on Bump Stock Gun Control

Breitbart: Fox News’ Congressional reporter Chad Pergram indicates that Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) has agreed to allow a Judiciary Committee hearing on bump stock gun control.

This comes after killer Devin Kelley attacked a Texas church without using a bump stock.

On October 9, Breitbart News reported that Senator Dianne Feinstein’s (D-CA) bump stock bill goes far beyond bump stocks:

—The plain language of the bill, title the Automatic Gunfire Prevention Act, indicates a bans any “accessory that is designed or functions to accelerate the rate of fire of a semiautomatic rifle but not convert the semiautomatic rifle into a machine gun.” This language is very crucial because in it goes after bump stocks for being exactly what the ATF described—an accessory, not a conversion device. Therefore, although it is already illegal to convert a semiautomatic into an automatic, Feinstein’s bill is way for leftists to make it illegal to add an accessory that allows the gun to fire rapidly without being converted to automatic.  more here

  1. They way this is written it would include triggers. If you put a 3 pound geissele trigger on your gun it will increase the rate of fire because the trigger reset is shorter. So they can’t even figure out who shouldn’t be able to purchase a firearm but in all their wisdom their going to punish law abiding gun owners again. These people suck.

  2. I really feel safer now that bump stocks may be regulted, especially since I am holding a book on how to make a fully auto machine gun from hardware material. The bump stock probably saved many people in Vegas as the shooter was firing to the distance after the first pull. Now if they were serious they would take on mental health care, which we don’t have thanks to the Democrats.

  3. What about my belt loop?

    Are they going to outlaw those too?

    What will hold my pants up?

    Do I now need to wear suspenders, or are they too going to be banned because I can bump fire off them?

    How about window ledges, door openings and outside corners? I can bump fire off those too.

    I say do it! Ban all the things!

  4. Take a lesson from Trump – ignore them and push back. These republicans are spineless, too afraid to take a position and defend it at all costs. And too afraid of what the media will say about them.

  5. Another gesture across the aisle?
    Why does Senator Chuck Grassley give the anti-group a forum?

    You are supposed to be confirming Judicial appointees, you have no time for this nonsense.

  6. If you don’t know, I live in Northern California and the media is running stories nightly about ccw’s guarding churches, trainers offering free training to church partitioner’s. The mood is pro gun, pro training. These idiots are once again jumping the shark.
