I’ve tried to stay out of the whole “bump stock” debate, because I think it’s utterly pointless. Would I own one? No. I don’t see the point. I’m more concerned about accuracy. But the thing is, I hate giving an inch to these people. Inanimate objects aren’t the problem, and when we give a little they keep on going. They’re never satisfied. Nothing will EVER be good enough, because they only have one objective: Dismantle the Second Amendment.
Banning bump stocks won’t make kids more safe in school, and that’s the truth.
Still, bump stocks have been the talk of the town, and some cities decided to ban them. Denver did. Wondering how that went?
No bump stocks have been turned over to Denver authorities after the city banned the accessories used in last year’s mass shooting in Las Vegas that killed 58 people and injured hundreds.
Denver Police police last month invited city residents to turn in any bump stocks in their possession but Denverite reports that none have been handed over.
Big shocker. Probably because 1.) Most people don’t have them and 2.) Law-abiding citizens don’t feel the need to turn something over because they don’t have evil intentions.
Even though the ban on bump stocks was “largely symbolic” there could still be consequences for not turning them over. We’re talking “fines, possible jail time for not turning them in.”
While the ban on bump stocks is largely symbolic, Denver police do say not turning them in could incur a fine between $100 and $999 or be subjected to spend between 10 to 180 days in jail.
So there you have it. The bump stock ban isn’t really making much of a difference in Denver. Big shock, lemme tell ya.
