The Trump administration's issuance of a new rule on Tuesday banning the possession of bump stocks is certainly welcome, but even more important is what such a decision signifies in terms of acknowledging a change in national attitude toward gun control. Bump stocks, devices that enable semiautomatic assault weapons to mimic fully automatic machine guns (like the one used in 2017 to kill 58 concertgoers in Las Vegas) have no rational justification to exist in public hands.

There's no rational justification to hold the rights of law abiding citizens hostage, due to the actions of criminals. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
"Let us contemplate our forefathers, and posterity, and resolve to maintain the rights bequeathed to us from the former, for the sake of the latter. The necessity of the times, more than ever, calls for our utmost circumspection, deliberation, fortitude, and perseverance. Let us remember that `if we suffer tamely a lawless attack upon our liberty, we encourage it, and involve others in our doom.' It is a very serious consideration...that millions yet unborn may be the miserable sharers of the event." --Samuel Adams, speech in Boston, 1771 |
