You probably don't have much to worry about in red counties. The same situation as oil filter silencers, except a bump stock makes more noise to attract unwanted attention.K.Mooneyham wrote: ↑Fri Mar 29, 2019 12:13 pm Okay, I want to ask a question: which law enforcement agencies in the State of Texas are going to set aside resources directed at enforcing the Federal bump stock ban? I'm not talking about if someone uses a bumpstock in an actual crime like assault with a deadly weapon, armed robbery, murder. No, I'm talking about resources being devoted to going out and finding bumpstocks, and turning the now-illegal owner of said bumpstock over to the Feds for prosecution. Which agencies?
Now, I live in proverbial "flyover country" where most of us fit the political definition of "deplorables". I'm at least reasonably certain that our small town police force and even smaller sheriff's department has enough normal duties on their plates to not be worrying about arresting "Jimmy Joe" because he was out blasting cans at the cattle tank on his family's property with a bump-stock equipped rifle.
It's a different story in blue counties. For example, nobody should be surprised if Acevedo dedicates resources to this.
