Ladies and gentlemen, if you want to make sure that your children have the same right to defend their lives and property that you’ve enjoyed, then now is the time to speak up.
In the wake of the shooting in Las Vegas, several congressional Republicans have joined with the always anti-freedom Democrats to craft new legislation that would ostensibly ban “Bump-stocks.” Here’s the problem, while a bill that bans bump stocks would be stupid in-and-of itself (as we’ve explained bump stocks are a luxury that can be replicated in a number of ways and this is the first time ever that a bump stock has ever been used in such a crime), this one is actually for more insidious than it first appears.
The Federalist explains:
Rather than specifically targeting bump-stocks, the gun-grabbers made the language to be as expansive as possible, so that all sorts of things can be read into the language. Rather than letting the text speak for itself, by providing specific things that are clearly and properly promulgated, the bill is written with the explicit purpose of expanding their power over us, and providing themselves any sort of legal avenue possible to come after anything we do with our firearms.
In fact, it’s so bad that the language may even effectively prohibit all semi-automatic firearms, as Sean Davis discusses at The Federalist.
