    I just find myself flabbergasted by the existence of so many people who are basically literal parodies of the progressive movement. The modern Left has actually reached the point where they have now surpassed any satirical portrayal of them one could come up with, and that, to me is just nuts.

    This is a good case for term limits.

    Only A Few Bump Stocks Turned In To Police Despite Massachusetts Ban
    ESSEX (CBS) – Essex Police Chief Peter Silva held up a bump stock that someone turned in this week as the Massachusetts ban on the devices went into effect. “To my knowledge, this is the only one that’s been turned in to date,” he said.

    State Police said they received three bump stocks and one trigger crank, as Massachusetts now becomes the first state in the country to make the devices illegal.

    Controversy has swirled around them ever since a gunman used one to essentially turn a semi-automatic weapon into an automatic one, unleashing hundreds of rounds on a crowd of concertgoers in Los Vegas.

    The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) received 36,000 comments on proposed backdoor bump stock gun control, and 85 percent of those who commented said they opposed it.

    Until the Seventeenth Amendment, Senators were elected by each state's legislature. Thus guaranteeing a turnover at least as often as the state's legislature.

    Can they do that??

    Force you to turn them in, even though they were legal when you bought them.

    They can realistically do whatever the hell they want to honestly. I feel like it will be very difficult to enforce though.
