DOJ opens door to regulating bump stocks

**LAGC** · 12-05-2017, 07:36 PM

The Justice Department announced Tuesday that it has begun a federal rule-making process that could reinterpret the legality of certain bump fire stock devices, a piece of equipment that enabled the Las Vegas gunman in October to fire on concertgoers more rapidly, mimicking automatic fire.

The announcement comes the day before the acting director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms is set to testify before a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on the device and amid calls from legislators to prevent the future sale of the part.

Investigators have said 12 bump fire stock -- or bump stock -- devices were found in the shooter's hotel room in Las Vegas. Fifty-eight people died in the attack.

"Possessing firearm parts that are used exclusively in converting a weapon into a machine gun is illegal, except for certain limited circumstances," Attorney General Jeff Sessions said in a statement. "The regulatory clarification we begin today will help us to continue to protect the American people by carrying out the laws duly enacted by our representatives in Congress."

sure..... one guy fired 1100 rounds from 12 guns that efficiently.

Sure seems like a pretty convenient setup... 12 "bump stocks" just handily laying around in a hotel room after a massacre, ready to be scapegoated to kick-start the gun control movement and get the wheels moving after a long hiatus.

Follow that CNN link and watch the video. Pretty sad how even so many Republican leaders have fallen for the "dangerous threat" hype.

That's just it. What narrative? Events have changed ever since the first announcement. There is still no coherent narrative on what happened, or how it happened.

I agree. Everything seems to have been a set-up from the very first.

Smells like

to me, too.
