Massachusetts GOP
Gov. to Ban Bump Stocks as D.C. Democrats Cool on Gun Control
by AWR Hawkins 19 Oct 2017
Massachusetts Gov. Charlie
Baker (R) readies to sign a bump
stock ban for his state even as
D.C. Democrats cool on any gun-control push for fear of losing big in the 2018
elections.
The Massachusetts Senate passed a ban by a vote of 33-0
and the House by a vote of 151-3. The two different bills are now being
“reconciled” so one bill can be sent to Baker.
According to WPXI, the Senate bill bans
bump stocks and trigger cranks by classifying both “under the same state laws
restricting machine guns.” The problem with this classification is that the
bump stocks to do not convert semiautomatics into machine guns. Doing that
requires converting or altering the action of a gun, something that neither
bumps stocks nor trigger cranks do.
In fact, Breitbart News reported ATF
Association president Michael Bouchard explaining that the ATF-approved bump
stocks serve as an accessory rather than a conversion device because they
“increase the rate of fire”—allowing the gun owner to pull his trigger
quicker—but that “does not make [the firearm] a machine gun.”
Nevertheless, the Massachusetts legislature is hard at
work categorizing bumps stocks with machine guns and the state’s Republican
Governor is ready to sign the bill when it reaches his desk.
Ironically, this is occurring while D.C. gun control stalwarts like Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) call on colleagues to hit the brakes on
any gun
control push for now. Schumer is
worried the Democrats could lose big in November
2018 if Democrats are tied too closely to calls for more infringements on the Second Amendment.
Meanwhile, in Massachusetts, Democrat lawmakers actually
bypassed the normal process of public hearings for legislation in order to push
their gun
control legislation
through. House Speaker Robert DeLeo (D) defended going around public
comment, saying, “I think it’s important for us to take it up and take it up
immediately.”
