Curious how many agencies they contacted, would be nice to know.Only one agency reached by The State Journal-Register had reported a bump stock being turned over.
"I don’t think it’s a popular item,” said Sangamon County Sheriff Jack Campbell, adding that none have been turned into his office.
“It’s a possibility (some could still be turned in). I don’t know how many were purchased in Sangamon County, and we don’t track the sales.
“You’re going to have a few holdouts. There were gun owners who were adamant that this was part of their Second Amendment right to keep it.”
“What I’ve found out about bump stocks is that they’re unique,” Morgan County Sheriff Mike Carmody said.
Carmody’s office also hasn’t handled any since the ban, though he expects the issue to come up in conversation with gun advocates.
Carmody also said he was unsure if owners would strictly adhere to the ban, but “I guarantee that anyone who has a bump stock knows the law.”
Menard County Sheriff Mark Oller said the only bump stock turned into his office was done so weeks before the ban took effect.
So much fail from the MDA rep..
No it doesn't turn it into a fully-automatic firearm.“This (ban) is clearly an important step,” Barham said. “You're talking about an invention that turns a semi-automatic (weapon) into a fully automatic (weapon) and kills an awful lot of human beings in a short amount of time.
“It's the rare gun owner who would have one."
With the ban, Barham said the group is hoping the ramp up support for universal background checks.
"(Moms Demand Action is) not anti-gun and we respect law-abiding gun owners,” Barham said. “What we’re against is irresponsible gun abuse. When you have universal criminal background checks, and if you're trying to make it harder for violent people to get hold of firearms, that’s a good thing."
They are not rare among gun owners.
yes, you are anti-gun.
No, you do not respect law-abiding gun owners.
