In the April 8 Tribune article “Gun advocate fights feds over bump stocks,” the chairman of the Utah Shooting Sports Council claims that he would be willing to follow a bump stock ban if the process was right, but is opposed to President Trump’s current bump stock regulation.
Just a month ago Clark Aposhian testified in a hearing against just such a ban, Rep. Patrice Arent’s HB331, Prohibition of Firearm Modification Devices. In the hearing he claimed that it was in violation of his Fifth Amendment rights because it required him to destroy property he had paid for.
It makes me wonder if the “process” can ever be “right” when the profits of the gun lobby are at stake.
