Obama’s ATF approved bump stocks in 2010

[FakeNews]

While bump stocks are taking criticism from Democrats and Republicans alike, it is interesting to note that the devices were approved for sale in 2010 by Barack Obama’s ATF.

The ATF approved the devices because they do not convert a semiautomatic rifle into an automatic. Rather, they are an accessory that allows semiautomatic rifle owners to mimic automatic fire for short bursts.

According to the Washington Post, Rick Vasquez, the ATF official who signed off on non-regulation for bump stocks, described them as “a goofy, little doodad.” This squares with the Breitbart News report that bump stocks “are for novelty, not accuracy.” They are devices that allow bursts of rapid fire but are unpredictable because the gun’s buffer tube can bounce around or bobble inside the device, making jams and inconsistent fire patterns likely.

Vasquez, a former Marine, put is this way: “[Bump stocks are] for those guys who want to look like super ninja when they’re out on the range — they’re the people my peer group makes fun of. If you want a machine gun, join the Marines.”

And with the proper trigger finger technique, the same cyclic rate can be achieved without a bump stock. It's just not as accurate, but in the Las Vegas example accuracy wasn't needed.

Top conservative calls for ban on device used by Vegas shooter

Rep. Bill Flores (R-Texas), a gun owner himself, may be the first Republican in Congress to call for a ban on bump stocks.

“I think they should be banned. There’s no reason for a typical gun owner to own anything that converts a semi-automatic to something that behaves like an automatic,” Flores told The Hill. "I’ve studied up on what a bump stock is — I didn’t know there was such a thing."

Glad to see that Republicans are so well-informed.

Obama personally approved this device so BLM could kill more white cops, right? Oh wait, was no BLM then, only the federal agency. Oh well, whoever approved it, the blame rises to the Oval Office, right? Except with Tromp. Shit don't stick to his fur.

Bear: Does shit stick to your fur?
Rabbit: No, why?

Yeah, blame Obama. He really fucked up with 9/11 and Katrina too, right?

Not anti-gun, but did propose some stupid shit.

One bill he was in favor of would have classed the CZ Scout, that I bought my son when he was 8, as an "assault rifle" because you could buy a 10 round magazine for it.

They are 'gimmicks.' Besides the issues with the buffer tubes they cause the barrels to over heat, another source of failure. The accuracy issue just wasn't a factor in the Las Vegas shooting. A square acre or more of people packed together? Just point in the general direction. I doubt the shooter made any particular effort to pick individual targets out.

As far as usefulness goes, they are banned at the range I go to. As far as I know they are banned at every range in the area. Without a lot of practice most people can't handle a rifle that is full auto or simulated full auto and those that can don't need them.

Paul Ryan told Hugh Hewitt, "I didn't even know what they were until this week, and I'm an avid sportsman."

Seriously? Damn…
