Why keeping his name a secret is a complete joke. This guy is not a whistleblower, does not deserve whistleblower status or cover. OMT, twelve witnesses and 31 hours of testimony and they came up with "Zilch".

I was testifying as an expert witness and had a gunsmith friend with me. It was all the big gun manufacturers. Remington was going out of business or they were close to it, but I found it strange that they were asking me about bump stocks. Anyway to start out here's an email I got today.
Rifle -THE NEW DEMOCRATIC ASSAULT RIFLE, (NEW???)
A hundred and twelve years ago, in 1907...our great grandparents were first able to buy the rifle pictured. The semi-auto Winchester Model 1907.
This is a gun they could buy from a Sears catalogue and have delivered via US Post. It was/ is a semi-automatic, high powered centerfire rifle, with detachable, high capacity magazine.
About 400,000 semi-automatic rifles were produced before WW2. Civilians had hundreds of thousands of these for 40 years, while US soldiers were still being issued old fashioned bolt action rifles.
The 1907 fired just as fast as an AR15 or AK47 and the bullet (.351 Winchester) was actually larger than those fired by the more modern looking weapons.
The ONLY functional difference between the 1907 and a controversial and much feared AR15 is the modern black plastic stock. AR does not mean assault rifle.
To summarize:
The semi auto, so-called "assault rifle" is 110 years old. It isnt new in any way.
The semi auto rifle was not a weapon of war. The government MADE IT a weapon of war 40 years after civilians had them.
The semi-auto can be safely owned by civilians. The proof is that literally 3 generations of adults owned and used them responsibly and no one ever even noticed.
Want to fix the horror of mass shootings? Fix the things that have changed for the worse in the last 50 years.
Cause the rifle technology in question was here long before this insanity.
There's that part. The bump stock question was was Trump's banning of it good or bad?
It was bad only in that it began chipping away at 2A. Good in that you have to understand a bump stock. No rifle was meant to shoot that rapidly. This is why the weapons jam or sometimes explode on you. What can be done to fix it? Buy a thicker barrel or a military grade one. Best idea is don't use one though.
