Of course, the bump stock restrictions from a few years ago.

These are probably the most drastic federal regulation changes made during my adult life. Especially considering they depart from law. Everyone seems worried about Biden, but these represent some significant changes Democrats never could have accomplished legislatively, and Trump could have easily stopped them. Obama didn't do this to us. What am I missing here?

They're doing it because Trump is about to leave office, not because it's a Trump administration.

Everyone in power knows what's coming and want to reduce the firepower used against them now while they can.

It's a shame Trump didn't break up the BATFE and other alphabet soup agencies, but it's a bigger shame that people aren't standing by their internet warrior values when they come knocking on doors.

"From my cold dead hands" quickly becomes "yes sir, here ya go, sir, please don't hurt me sir."

Proper response is and always has been "Come back with a warrant and might need some body bags, too" as fellow patriots in your neighborhood gets ready for an offensive attack from multiple angles if they do return.

But that's just what our founding fathers did. Surely we have the legal methods to live free...................

The problem with the come back with a warrant thing is, they won't leave, they'll just order one up, so you'll be goin' it alone. That is, if they don't already have you in zip ties.

Non-sense. ump-stocks was in the first half of his administration. If he wanted to he could have easily delayed these into Biden's term. ATFE director is appointed by the Attorney General. Trump still has all the control he wants. Don't kid yourself.

I think we all know that we haven't had a pro-gun president for... I don't think there has been one in my lifetime. The best we have done is 2A neutral and they then appoint decent judges. Trump is an opportunist at best IMO and if he thought a gun control bill would have helped him get re-elected he would have signed it. So I doubt that he really cares about 80% lowers at this point.

It also seems that the president (any president) doesn't seem to have a lot of direct control over what millions of .gov workers do. He probably can't just up and fire people for not following orders for example.
