Trump Blames Obama for Legalizing Bump Stocks, Says DOJ Will Ban Them
The use of 'bump stocks' to enhance the firepower of guns have been officially banned and President Trump took to Twitter to gloat about the move he led to do away with the devices, by throwing former Commander-In-Chief Barack Obama under the bus.
"Obama Administration legalized bump stocks. BAD IDEA. As I promised, today the Department of Justice will issue the rule banning BUMP STOCKS with a mandated comment period. We will BAN all devices that turn legal weapons into illegal machine guns," Trump tweeted to his following of 49.4 million, on Friday, March 23.
Since the latter months of 2017 Trump has spoken out to signal that the government would be reviewing bump stocks and whether they out to be lawful. By December a probe into the semi-automatic equipped attachment was underway and by the attacks on Parkland in February. the President had kicked the discussion into another gear. The abolishment of bump stocks is only one of several gun policies Trump has presented since the massacre, and it is one that he says the last man in office should have taken care of years ago.
The President's claim that Obama twice allowed for bump stock devices to become legally accessible refers to a 2010 and 2015 hearing during which it was found that they could not be classified under the 1986 rule banning machine guns in the U.S.
