The city of Denver decided that bump stocks are too dangerous for private citizens to own, despite years of private citizens owning them and absolutely nothing happening before Las Vegas. They passed a law within the city banning the ownership of the devices. They were bound and determined to crack down on such dangerous items.
It seems that their plan worked out well.
No bump stocks have been turned over to Denver authorities after the city banned the accessories used in last year’s mass shooting in Las Vegas that killed 58 people and injured hundreds.
Denver Police police last month invited city residents to turn in any bump stocks in their possession but Denverite reports that none have been handed over.

Re: ATF proposes new bump stock rule
I can't see how they can use the date of the machine gun ban after saying multiple times that it was legal. I don't want to see anything banned period, but if they say it's legal today then it's legal. If they want to ban something it should come after the date the law is changed. That is total bs that they say it's legal for all these years and people buy them legally and suddenly they want to confiscate them. They should be grandfathered or compensated.

Re: ATF proposes new bump stock rule
I agree right up to the point you said "or compensated". "Mandatory buybacks" are just another name for confiscation.William Bonney wrote:I can't see how they can use the date of the machine gun ban after saying multiple times that it was legal.
