60,000 bump stocks shreaded

Fort Worth firearm accessory company shreds 60,000 bump stocks as ban goes into effect

FORT WORTH, Texas — Truck after truck, loaded with packages of bump stocks, arrived at American Shredder in north Fort Worth Tuesday. The trucks were coming from RW Arms, a Fort Worth firearm parts and accessories distributor.

According to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, RW Arms requested the ATF be present as they destroyed millions of dollars worth of bump stocks, bringing them in compliance with the ban on bump stocks that went into effect Tuesday. The ATF believes this might have been the largest supply of bump stocks in the country at 60,000.(link)

I bet some employee kept just 1 or maybe not:

The transfer or possession
of bump stocks will become prohibited under this new amendment to the law, subject to penalty
of up to 10 years in federal prison and $250,000 in fines for each violation.

Never heard of a bump stock until Las Vegas, Do not think this accessory should be illegal

It’s not an accessory anymore. The ATF reclassified it as a machine gun.

Ridiculous

Hope they don’t ban my belt loop next....

Does the government have the right to confiscation without compensation?

NO! Nor do they have the right to criminalize ownership. Next the libs might ban all but electric cars and make ownership a felony. Then will the middle portion of the country understand what is happening?!??!?!?!?

And Roberts’s ruling yesterday didn’t help.

it amazes me that millions of taxdollars have been spent to even vote for it.
Now that them things aint legal, i feel a million times safer

Worst troll of all time.

The thing that this highlighted for me is the number of people who think bump stocks should have never been allowed, see no use for and are fine that they were "dealt with accordingly"
My point was/is... what happens when they do the same thing to an AR15 or a 30 rd mag or a 1911 pistol or whatever they decide to go after next??
Answer is usually that'll be the match that lights off the fire when people say enough is enough, Armed protest demanding repeal of whatever was deemed illegal, basically leading to armed insurrection. OhhhKaaay.
I call BS on that. Gov will chip away one piece at a time in tiny little bites. Certain types of ammo, certain types of magazines, eventually certain types of firearms, etc.
Not confiscation but illegal to possess. So the next time you're out and about and get found with any of these prohibited items you get locked up.
It may take a while, but they are a patient and cunning group.
That is my fear of how it gets done.

It's the theory of the frog and boiling water. If you plop a frog into a pot of boiling water, he will jump right out...scalded, but alive. If you put him in a pot of water and slowly bring it to boiling, he won't realize that he is being boiled until it is too late.

What bothers me is firearms owners that do not care because they do not have a bump stock, or do not have a need for one, when that is not the point.
Our rights have been infringed.

Yup.....

Bingo.

The ban came from an Executive Order.

On Monday RW arms filed suit on the Federal government under the 5th amendment requesting compensation for the loss of $20 million in product. They also joined a suit filed on March 28th by The Modern Sportsman. We will see where it goes from here.

good

Mr. Trump at his finest hour.

And we elected that bozo.

I guess he is the best Murica had to offer?

Yes sir, and that's the sad part. I'm not a fan of any politician including Trump. He was simply the the lesser of two evils. To idolize any politician sets a very dangerous precedent.

You hit the nail on the head. In many past elections that is all we have had to vote for, it's shameful that this is the best they can come up with.

Been that way my whole life with the exception of my first election...Reagans second term.....

Without a doubt in all those 30+ years this one was absolutely the most important to me! While President Trump wasn't my first choice....the alternative would have been disastrous....

I don't agree with everything he's done....but he's done more good in two years than everyone else in 30+ years! I believe this decision will be overturned once it is fully litigated....

We shall see....

what is the need for one, okay blast me

Agree with the Snake. This President is not perfect, but head and shoulders above any other choice and I am Damn Proud I voted for him

We can make excuses and justify this anyway we want, the bottom line is our government and its politicians have again dictated to us what we can and cannot own, this is dangerous, especially when the subject is as sensitive as firearms, accessories, and their components.
All one has to do is look outside our great country to see the suppression and communist era policies that this kind of liberal feel good legislation creates.
I don't need the state or the federal governments telling me how to live or what to buy, and we are not responsible for someone else's bad behavior, nor should we adjust our llifestyles because of it.
DC

Agree....and more frightening to me is just how many “gun people” are willing to give up stuff because they don’t use it...what happens when what they like comes under attack...

Any restrictions on law abiding citizens should be challenged and fought against with every thing we have.

High capacity mags and semi-autos are under assault...say goodbye to most shotguns, rifles, and pistols....

There is no such thing as an assault weapon...there is an assault on weapon owners...
