Donald Trump to sign bump stock ban

  Back in February Donald Trump directed Jeff Sessions to create regulations banning bump stocks and other similar devices. Now, according to this story, the new regulations are complete and Donald Trump will be signing the ban shortly. And just for the record, this new ban includes confiscation.

The Trump administration plans to announce the long-anticipated federal rule officially banning bump stocks in the coming days, according to US officials familiar with the matter.

Bump stocks gained national attention last year after a gunman in Las Vegas rigged his weapons with the devices to fire on concertgoers, killing 58 people. President Donald Trump vowed to outlaw the devices soon after the tragedy, and some lawmakers on Capitol Hill urged him to back a permanent legislative fix.

But opposition from lawmakers and the National Rifle Association ultimately made a regulatory change the only realistic path forward to accomplishing the President’s goal.

Under the new rule, bump stock owners would be required to destroy or surrender the devices to authorities. Members of the public will be given 90 days to turn in or otherwise discard their bump stocks, according to a source familiar with the final rule.

I hate to say it but if you ask me it looks like Donald Trump pulled a Barack Obama; he used his pen and his phone to create a law where none existed because he could not get it through the Congress. 

  However there could be an upside because if you remember correctly Donald Trump promised to repeal two older regulations for each new regulation his administration wrote. I will not be holding my breath…
