IL’s Mike Bost, Darren Bailey disagree on federal gun issue headed to Supreme Court

On Wednesday, Supreme Court justices are scheduled to hear arguments about a ban on bump stocks ...

 

Bost supported the ban. Bailey opposed it.

 

On the campaign trail, Bailey has said he doesn’t support any restrictions on guns and criticized Bost’s stance on bump stocks. Bailey instead supports addressing what he believes are the root causes of mass shootings: issues like mental health and poverty. He said he also supports increased security measures in schools, which have been targeted in other shootings.

...

“Bump stocks were specifically designed to get around federal law — in place since the 1930s — that prohibits fully automatic weapons,” Bost wrote in a 2018 statement. “It’s possible to find commonsense solutions to reduce the likelihood of tragedies while also preserving the constitutional rights of law-abiding Americans.”

Never owned a bump stock and never had an interest in one. Bailey is 100% on point.

So if bump stocks are considered protected arms then so are the semi-auto rifles they go on........That said we shouldn't need bump stocks in the first place since full autos are protected arms too.

When you see the buzzwords "commonsense solutions" you know that persons view on gun control. The freedom haters have been using that forever to make it look like anyone against citizen disarmament is irrational.
