Obama wasn't able to get them banned. Twice, was it? But Trump decides that's going to be his legacy for gun owners. Not getting rid of regulatory (not legislative) gun free zones, like he promised when wanted our votes, but more regulations that won't do anything to reduce violent crime.

With friends like that, who needs Kamala Harris.

Obama never made any serious effort to do it, he simply wanted to use bumpstocks as yet another hammer against the gun owning community. Had he been serious about banning them he simply could have acted in the same manner by rewriting the regulation.

Ms. Harris said that, if elected, she would sign an executive order mandating background checks for customers of any firearms dealer who sells more than five guns a year. The executive actions would also include more strident regulation of gun manufacturers that could result in revoked licenses or prosecution, as well as an attempt to close the loophole that allows some domestic abusers to purchase guns if their victim is an unwedded partner.

I know some people have a knee jerk reaction to anything proposed by Democrats but they're better ideas than banning bump stocks.

1. It seems reasonable to categorize somebody selling more than five guns a year as a gun dealer. Texas requires a car dealer license if you sell five or more cars in a year.

2. I have no problem with ATF enforcing current laws on manufacturers and revoking licenses for significant violations. I would hope this happens already but maybe it's more work than online sting operations for freeze plugs and solvent traps.

3. I'm not sure what she's talking about here. Somebody can be convicted of domestic violence if they're not married to their victim. If somebody has a DV conviction, they're already disqualified unless they're a protected class, and I have no problem with eliminating that loophole.

Ridiculous, doesn't matter if you like them or not, implementing new law such as this through an EO is unconstitutional,
