"Anyone in possession of a bump stock from now on can be charged with a
federal offense punishable by up to 10 years in prison."

I may be wrong, but I don't think this is widely known right now. I live in an
area where there are a lot of gun owners and "AR" type rifles are one of the
most popular among those who love to shoot guns. I'm sure quite a few own bump
stocks, but not at all sure they know they need to get rid of them.

As I said, I live in an area where guns are very much a part of the culture.
Hunting is big here, and so is shooting for fun.

76% of my neighbors voted for Trump, and they're very open and vocal about
that and their 2nd Amendment rights.

I don't personally own a gun and very rarely shoot them. I don't hunt either,
but I don't have any fears of or animosities for those who do.

But they've been completely silent on this on FB. And looking back, with all
the noise from Kavanaugh to the Mueller report this issue has been buried by
the media, and that 10 year potential prison sentence has too, and that really
bothers me.

I don't know what to make of that. I don't know if they're uninformed or not
willing to criticize Trump or why they're so silent. They've been very open
about their right to own firearms in the past and the right to own a bump
stock.
