This is the problem. Misinformation. This is exactly what the video I posted talked about. Obama didn’t do anything. His EO applied to people on government disability for mental defects that needed a 3rd party to manage their affairs.
Pure semantics as always.
Again, if you're going to make wild accusations, please at least use the correct legal terminology, especially if you want to make legal recommendations. Those weren't full auto weapons, which is why bumpstocks are legal. I agree, functionally they're similar, but it's a legal distinction which is my entire point.
More semantics.

You CAN'T do anything about it, so what's the point of wasting time and money on something that's not possible?
There were nearly 600 Americans shot on the Strip a couple of nights ago.
600 Americans.
And people like you think there is nothing we can do about it.
Insane.

The same people who say there is no solution, are the same people who don't want to do anything about it.
Hardly a coincidence.

59 dead here in Vegas and 500+ injured. The machine gun fire sounded like something out of a war movie. Just harrowing.

Tom Price resigns as Trump administration health chief after outrage over private jet flights
Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price resigned Friday after criticism over his repeatedly taking expensive private jets instead of commercial flights.
Price's private travel, added to his use of military jets for overseas trips, has cost taxpayers more than $1 million.
Price said he will reimburse the government just a fraction of the cost of the flights.

Tom Price, secretary of the U.S. Health and Human Services Department, resigned Friday amid a furor over his taking more than two dozen costly private plane trips instead of less-expensive commercial flights.
The White House in a statement said that President Donald Trump intends to tap a top HHS official, Don Wright, to serve as acting secretary of the department. Wright currently serves as deputy assistant secretary for health and director of the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion.
"Secretary of Health and Human Services Thomas Price offered his resignation earlier today and the President accepted," the White House said, about an hour after Trump said he would decide by Friday night whether to fire Price.
Price's resignation came a day after he said he would reimburse taxpayers for just a small fraction of the cost of his flights, and after he vowed to not use charter planes in the future.
A longtime critic of wasteful federal spending and the administration's putative point man on attacking Obamacare, Price had taken 26 flights on charter plans since May, according to a Politico investigation.
In a letter addressed to Trump, Price said he was tendering his resignation in order to allow the administration "to move forward without further disruption."

I’m not condoning it. But let’s not pretend this is anything of the scale Clinton did.
So many important questions only you care about the answers to....let's split hairs to the point no one knows what the fuck anyone is talking about anymore
Another attempt to veer off topic by you-know-who. Hillary wasn't charged for the email fiasco. Just as she wasn't incriminated after numerous Benghazi hearings. The point is that Trump's administration is using private email to conduct White House business. Something Trump said she should be "locked up" for. Think his peeps care?
In the meantime, Trump is continuing to escalate tension with NK, all while picking a fight with the NFL via Twitter. Black Americans, as usual, aren't allowed to protest anything in this country. Even the act of kneeling silently as a means to voice your displeasure is seen as a disrespectful act according to Trump and his basket of deplorables.

Looks like McCain killed Trumpcare again. I say let them try again. Each time they do, they are exposed for how incompetent they are. They'd only need to get 1 or 2 Democrats on board a plan that is a little more sensible, and it would pass. But they don't want to do that.
That and every medical group came out against it. Hell, even insurance companies oppose it.
