This is the last damn straw.
Immediately on the heels of the date when all bump stocks were to be surrendered and destroyed, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms has released a memo in which their technology branch has concluded that in accordance with the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) update that was passed to reclassify bump stocks as machine guns, that single action revolvers are now NO LONGER IN COMPLIANCE with federal law thanks to rule changes to 27 CFR Parts 447, 478, and 479 and the "constructive possession" rule. Here's the statist tyranny propaganda reasoning:
"The Department of Justice (DOJ) proposals to amend the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives regulations to clarify that in regards to the act of cocking and releasing the hammer of a revolver whilst maintaining pressure on the trigger in order to retard the action of the disconnector (colloquially known as "fanning" a revolver) qualifies as a legitimate conversion of an otherwise semiautomatic firearm into a machine gun by functioning as a self-acting or self-regulating mechanism that evades the mechanical action of semiautomatic firearm in a manner that allows the trigger to reset and continue firing without additional physical manipulation of the trigger by the shooter.
Consequently, current possessors of these devices would be required to surrender them, destroy them, or otherwise render them permanently inoperable upon the passage of the 90th day of which the effective date the rule was passed."
That's right, after 180 years in United States firearm history, the single action revolver is now to become history that future generations will only be able to see in movies all because fanning the revolver fires more than one shot per trigger pull.
Here's the article that's told us the "British are coming" but instead of a Red coat, they're coming with SWAT teams and tanks like they did in Waco, TX.
