Massachusetts Mandatory Bumpstock turn in Feb 1st

[palmettomoon]

Ummm... New Orleans... during Katrina. Or does that not count since it was "for their own good"?

Watertown, Mass. popo did it while hunting for the Boston Marathon Bombers.

When was the last time any guns, or gun accessories, were confiscated or attempted to be confiscated here in the USA?
I'm talking about the authorities coming to visit your home or sending you a personal letter saying, in effect "We think/ know you have one of these, and they're illegal now. Turn it over to us for destruction or we're coming to get it, and you're going to jail if we have to take it from you."

Ever? Anywhere?

On a small scale? Probably every single day. On a large scale? The last time was probably Waco.

Again... "for their own good". I don't think those count. Unless you get a letter, confiscation isn't really confiscation.... apparently.

That's good to know. I feel safer in my 5th Amendment protections now.

I suppose the TacSac could have been a choice.

I unfortunately looked that up and cannot unlook it...

You've been here long enough to know that no good ever comes from googling anything you read here.

Well, that's your penalty for looking up ANYTHING mentioned here you are unfamiliar with. A lesson I learned early and only had to learn once.

Tyranny

Agreed. Personally I don't think there's many things gayer than bump stocks BUT... Seizing private property with not so much as a buy back is the gayest **** of all. And even worse than that I m not surprised by it at all.

Of course it was for their own good. This old lady was not keeping a firearm to stop looting or for personal protection. She was a threat, I say!

I will never forget this.
