A U.S. federal ban on bump stocks takes effect in days, and some owners don't want to give the devices up

“If I get caught with one, I'm a felon, and it seems like to me that's entrapment in the biggest way. I bought that thing legally with my hard-earned money,” said the 60-year-old Lunsford, who has at one time owned six AR-15 rifles that he built from kits, as well as a World War II German submachine gun.

“I've never committed a crime with it, and just because of that one killer up in Las Vegas that used one that killed a bunch of people, they're going to make people pay for it,” he said. They were originally created to make it easier for people with disabilities to fire a gun. The device essentially replaces the gun's stock and pistol grip and causes the weapon to buck back and forth, repeatedly “bumping” the trigger against the shooter's finger.

Owners are being advised to either destroy them by crushing, melting or cutting them up or set up an appointment with the ATF to hand the devices over.

Come on realDonaldTrump you’re an NRA patsy... do something!

Wasn't Obama suppose to take away their guns what happened?

They're so afraid the Queen invades the US they need to keep their machine guns.

Because bump stocks are the great equalizer when out hunting, deer, and, ducks right?

How will they be notified 🤷‍♂️.....

Use that money for what they really need ... penis enlarging

Honestly... this one I agree with.

Idiots

The gun obsession is ridiculous. In what way do you need a bump stock

Well, they can kindly fuck right off, if they think they're above the law :)
