Justice Dept charges first person on bump stock ban

[Chris0nllyn]

A Texas man is the first person to be charged under a federal ban on bump stocks, devices that allow a semi-automatic firearm to fire rapidly like a machine gun, the Justice Department said Thursday.

Prosecutors allege that Dhingra had previously been involuntarily committed to a psychiatric facility and was prohibited from owning firearms. When Secret Service agents showed up at his house, Dhingra told them he had been diagnosed with schizophrenia, court documents said.

At his home, investigators found a handgun and an AR-15 rifle that had a bump stock attached to it, the documents said. Investigators also found four 100-round magazines.

Dhingra was indicted on charges that include possessing a machine gun and making false statements to acquire a firearm.

When you write to a President something so stupid that you get the Secret Service on your ass, you have invited them to find something they can prosecute you for.

You better hurry up and let them know that a bumpstock isn’t a gun so there is nothing to worry about
