This balloon has been popped, it appears the White House is no longer responding to these petitions.
Regardless of what you think about bumpstocks, banning them was dangerous for our rights. It is setting stronger precedent for Administrations to order DOJ to draft up all kinds of bans that infringe on our gun rights. What's next? Pistol braces, 80% frames/receivers, background checks for upper receivers, etc. The list could get very long when the agency in charge is unaccountable to congress who should be making laws like this.
Trump made several read my lips speeches where he promised not to infringe on our gun rights but then did exactly that. He may do it again if we don't hold him accountable. I propose that we start a We The People Petition requesting that they rescind the bumpstock ban and settle lawsuits with admission that they were wrong in believing that the rule change was in their purview to do. If the petition collected the 100,000 required signatures in 30 days the White House would respond. If the White House response is something to the effect of go suck eggs then we can make an better informed decision in the 2020 election. Trump is going to have a very tough election if he runs in 2020. He needs a strong turnout from those he threw under the bus.
