I know they'll say "that will never happen" but then they say that about a lot of things. Hopefully this will get overturned at a higher level but I am doubtful. Most judges know little to nothing about firearms.

The bigger point there is that one crime in the history of the world used a bump stock and for this we force everyone onto the slippery slope that they can outlaw any gun at any time simply because it was used in one crime. That's a pretty low threshold. <br /><br />SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146148016062694502.post-69630366533375100592019-04-01T16:07:57.721-04:002019-04-01T16:07:57.721-04:00One against many... sighOne against many... sighOld NFOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404197287935017147noreply@blogger.com
