MEMORANDUM FOR THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
SUBJECT: Application of the Definition of Machinegun to "Bump Fire" Stocks and Other Similar Devices
After the deadly mass murder in Las Vegas, Nevada, on October 1, 2017, I asked my Administration to fully review how the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives regulates bump fire stocks and similar devices.
Although the Obama Administration repeatedly concluded that particular bump stock type devices were lawful to purchase and possess, I sought further clarification of the law restricting fully automatic machine guns.
Accordingly, following established legal protocols, the Department of Justice started the process of promulgating a Federal regulation interpreting the definition of "machinegun" under Federal law to clarify whether certain bump stock type devices should be illegal. The Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking was published in the "Federal Register" on December 26, 2017. Public comment concluded on January 25, 2018, with the Department of Justice receiving over 100,000 comments.
Today, I am directing the Department of Justice to dedicate all available resources to complete the review of the comments received, and, as expeditiously as possible, to propose for notice and comment a rule banning all devices that turn legal weapons into machineguns.
Although I desire swift and decisive action, I remain committed to the rule of law and to the procedures the law prescribes. Doing this the right way will ensure that the resulting regulation is workable and effective and leaves no loopholes for criminals to exploit. I would ask that you keep me regularly apprised of your progress.
You are authorized and directed to publish this memorandum in the "Federal Register".
DONALD J. TRUMP

Put blame where it belongs
ATF decided it could not regulate bump stocks during the Obama administration.
It that time," the NRA wrote in a statement. "The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semiautomatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations."
The ATF and Obama admin. ignored the NRA recommendations.

It is a PR move, any time you see "review" when it comes to gun regulation it means stall, today Huckabee must have used the phrase "we are in the process," "it is in the process," "the process is....," just like, "review," means little
Only real addressing of bump stocks has to be done legislatively, if he meant what he said, he would have recommended to Congress they do something and then follow thru on his request

Trump is a student of duplicity. He specialises in the tossing of imaginary bones to the dogs of the demos.

It doesn't matter what bump stocks do or don't do they are gone, to satisfy they gun grabbers...next the gun grabbers will be after the AR15 and
severe background checks...The reboobcons will have to be careful here the red necks get pissed of easily and if you piss them off they don't vote.
red necks never forget, don' fuk with their guns. It will be interesting to see what the reboot do.
There is some idea what the reboobs will do...in Florida they took guns off the table for any vote for this session.

Someone explain to Rump that bump stocks don kill people, why’s he blaming the bump stocks?
Neither do guns or bullets or cars or knives or poisons or water, or pressure cookers for that matter....
But any of these could when used by a lunatic help bent on killing someone...did you actually have a point in that post ?
Its you nuts that want one special type of gun taken off the shelves of stores, ain't it....
