Activist Post – by TJ Martinell
Bump stock owners aren’t complying with an illegal federal ban approved through an unconstitutional bureaucratic process via the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
According to the Washington Times, only 1,000 bump stocks were collected in the run-up to the March deadline. There are between 280,000 to 520,000 bump stocks in circulation, according to the Justice Department.
To give a comparison, the feds would have to replicate that same rate of the collection either 280 or 520 times in order to recover all the remaining bump stocks – and that’s assuming more devices are not secretly manufactured and sold in the meantime.
Why is this important?
It is nullification in effect on an individual level. Hundreds of thousands of people simply said, “We will not comply.”
The pitiful level of compliance with this federal regulation by bump stock owners sends a clear message to D.C. — gun owners won’t comply with a decree violating their right to keep and bear arms even over a mere firearm accessory. It is a forewarning as to what lawmakers and gun grabbers can expect should they attempt to ban the possession of certain firearms disingenuously labeled “assault weapons.”
To comply with this bump stock ban would be to merely encourage further confiscation efforts. But the lack of compliance makes it obvious that the policy is unpopular and would be expensive to enforce.
That is precisely how medical and recreational marijuana was decriminalized by various states. Activists didn’t elect the right people into office. They didn’t persuade D.C. to reject the War on Drugs. They made it impractical and eventually impossible for prohibition to continue in any practical way,
Noncompliance is the best and most effective way to protect our right to keep and bear arms. Just as nullification by states deprives the feds of critical resources and manpower to enforce those laws, individual noncompliance saps whatever resources they have and demonstrates how much of their laws rely on our cooperation.

“To comply with this bump stock ban would be to merely encourage further confiscation efforts. But the lack of compliance makes it obvious that the policy is unpopular and would be expensive to enforce.”
And extremely deadly for the enforcer I will add.
Individuals enforcing their Bill of Rights is what I read in this article.
Noncompliance is the best and most effective way to protect our right to keep and bear arms.”
SO. WE SHOULD JUST THROW THE REST OF OUR RIGHTS AWAY AND KEEP OUR “GUNZ”? SHEESH…
YOU’RE PART OF THE PROBLEM…. SPREADING BULLSHIT…………………
YOU HARDLY EVER SEE “NONCOMPLIANCE” ARTICLES WRITTEN CONCERNING ANY OTHER ARTICLE IN THE BILL OF RIGHTS EXCEPT FOR THE 2ND AND THE 1RST …………………OUR “COMPLIANCE” AS A NATION IS WHAT HAS GIVEN THESE DEVILS THE POWER TO ABUSE US AND OUR CHILDREN………..BUT IDIOTS SEEM TO BE FINE AS LONG AS THEY HAVE “THEIR GUNZ”…………………..AND FIGHT FOR THAT “SECOND AMMENDMENT”……….
OUR “COMPLIANCE” AS A NATION IS WHAT HAS GIVEN THESE DEVILS THE POWER TO ABUSE US AND OUR CHILDREN.
HERE ARE A FEW EXCUSES FOR THAT COMPLIANCE;
1. COMPLACENCY. THE ABILITY TO THROW OFF YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES BECAUSE YOU BELIEVE THE ACTIONS OF TRAITORS WILL NEVER EFFECT YOU……..
2. ABJECT COWARDICE. THEIR “FEAR” OUTWEIGHS THEIR DESIRE TO BE FREE.
3.IGNORANCE. THE BILL OF RIGHTS MUST BE TAUGHT IN SCHOOL, AND REENFORCED IN OUR INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER LEARNING, WITHOUT THE DEVIOUSNESS OF “CASE LAW” ADDED TO INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY..
4. YOUR “RELIGION” GIVES AUTHORITY TO GOVERNMENT…. WELCOME TO HELL. MINE DOES TOO. HOWEVER, MINE HAS SPECIFICS, GOVERNMENTS ARE INSTITUTED BY GOD TO PUNISH THE WICKED AND REWARD THE RIGHTEOUS. I DONT THINK BUTT RAPING A YOUNG RETARDED BOY IN JAIL, OR MANIPULATING HIM INTO A FALSE CONFESSION FITS THE STANDARD OF A “GOVERNMENT OF GOD”…………DO YOU?
OR
5. ………..YOU ARE A TRAITOROUS SCOUNDREL YOURSELF……………WATCH YOUR BACK FREAK…..
This is so silly…….
First off the American people , since it’s inception was based off of rebellion and resistance.
We’re talking about a piece of fkng plastic here people.
This is an easy solution.
Get a 3D printer…
Print your own…. “Ghost Stock”.
or “Ghost Knife”.
Ya know…..like the ones they can’t trace and really don’t exist.
Unless you pass a Ghost law…..
Get the fk outta here.
ughhhhh.
That’s right….
I provide viable practical solutions .
In a world with consistently fked up answers.
“The pitiful level of compliance with this federal regulation by bump stock owners sends a clear message to D.C. — gun owners won’t comply with a decree violating their right to keep and bear arms even over a mere firearm accessory.”
Hence the ‘end run’.
RED FLAG LAWS.
Bast@rds won’t quit till every last stinking jewloving POS one of them has been hung by the neck till DEAD, DEAD, DEAD!!! 😡
“Federal Ban”
Means nothing to me
Nice try though
“That is precisely how medical and recreational marijuana was decriminalized by various states. Activists didn’t elect the right people into office.

HAHA Wake the F up, you idealistic idiot. There’s MORE mammon to be made and MORE control to be had with the way they engineered it!
And “activists” didn’t elect SH!t!!
The rest everyone else got already but this ass hat needs to take off his rose colored glasses.
non compliance is just the beginning. We will be putting an end to this communist red terror in this country. People in this country have a right to prosper and be left alone.
Who?
Atf? Not my monkey, not my circus.
