Folks, it isn’t like this is something new. The Federal Government has done exactly this before, and in the realm of firearms. They will do it again, if not with bump stocks, with some other firearms accessory. I can’t recall an incident, but I’m sure they’ve done it in non-firearms areas as well. Governments want to control everything and everyone, “for their own good”, not to mention the safety of the public and the stability of the government.
THIS IS WHAT ALL GOVERNMENTS EVENTUALLY DO WHEN LEFT UNCHECKED.
We The People have let our government go unchecked for far too long. In fact, we’ve probably let it go so long that, like a garden that has suffered decades of mistreatment and neglect, it’s simply better to rip it all out and start over. Of course, there is much more danger in that approach with government than with a garden, but we’ve tried for most of my lifetime to “fix” government, and every fix has made things worse over time.
We are facing a time when our choices will be so constrained that they will all be equally bad, all equally high risk. I suppose it’s possible that we are already there, but the optimist in me hopes not. But even if we aren’t there now, we had best prepare for that time. It may arrive sooner and more suddenly than we expect.

"I can't recall an incident, but I'm sure they've done it in non-firearms areas as well."
Remember, it was under Imperious Barackus Rex that "bump stocks" were ruled legal.
In what I believe was a Second Order Devious move, I suspect he did that know that – sooner or later – something akin to Las Vegas would occur. Then they could use that as an excuse.
The same for stopping the "school to prison pipeline"; the results of not handling threats early were utterly predictable. And again, now, we see the Left racing to take advantage of the crisis.
Never, never, never, never, never trust a Democrat.

Marijuana, opium, alcohol, decent refrigerants, archeological artifacts, fossils, ivory, eagle and hawk feathers…
GOLD!
Oh, & I've been told a boot lace is more effective, cheaper & already apparently illegal…
/Just saying…
