Hey, it's not us inventing a "conspiracy theory."
Seeing as how everybody in the media seems to "know" they were used, and a couple hundred thousand citizens risk becoming felons over this, when do they think it might be a good time to stop dragging their feet on this? Everybody realizes this has been going on longer than the Warren Commission, right?
DC Court Sides with Government in Bump Stock Ban

Here's the opinion.
It's nice to see it's not unanimous:
Like countless other Americans, I can think of little legitimate use for a bump stock. That thought, however, has nothing to do with the legality of the Bump Stock Rule. For the reasons detailed supra, I believe the Bump Stock Rule expands the statutory definition of "machinegun” and is therefore ultra vires. In my view, the plaintiffs are likely to succeed on the merits of their challenge and I would grant them preliminary injunctive relief. Accordingly, I respectfully dissent.The question now: Will our vaunted "5-4" SCOTUS again wash its hands of it?
Penalty Flaggers
Nobody suggested that he ever pointed the B.B. gun at anyone, nor that he waved it or flourished it in an ostentatious or angry manner (referring to dictionary definitions of "brandish"). But he was then arrested for two counts of "assault by intimidation" and two counts of brandishing, purely because the two workers said they were afraid. [More]I've recalled before how I had more freedom as a boy in the Shah's Iran than my boys had growing up in the land of the Second Amendment.
I saw some flaggers for pothole fillers a while back and one of them had a hammer and sickle sticker on his hard hat.

Good Fences Make Good Neighbors, Whereas No Fences Result in Turning U.S. Neighborhoods to This
When they got to the Cicero home where a woman had allegedly “enslaved” Guatemalan immigrants for years, the FBI had to break down every door, a prosecutor said. Inside, agents found “deplorable” conditions. Mold. Cockroaches. Mattresses “all over the place.” And sewage backing up in the basement where Concepcion Malinek allegedly forced the immigrants — one as young as 18 months old — to live. [More]Kind'a rough on their own people there, aren't they? No doubt Trump's fault for being racist...
The important thing is they'll be counted in the census to help Democrats gain even more power.

Goes without Saying
Gang members will not be handing in their guns following the law reform announced by Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, a Mongrel Mob leader has said. [More]No worries since the targets are always the "law-abiding."

That Alone Should be Grounds for Removal
"He acknowledged being torn between his heart and his head, as he put it..." [More]So he ended up ignoring "the supreme Law of the Land" and imposing his bias on us all.

Maybe nobody in Rhode Island owned one? Then again, the state does have plenty of coastline...
Then there are those who have shown us what we can expect from them when ordered to surrender. As for ATF grinding them up, maybe somebody didn't get the memo.

The Voice of Surrender
Just as Second Amendment supporters need to suck it up and fix NICS, Second Amendment supporters must also buckle down, and come up with ways to implement EPROs that respect due process and which don’t serve as a tool for permanent gun confiscation. [More]Again I disagree.

'Kill It Before It Grows'
These bills cannot be allowed to get any traction. In order to make sure they don’t, GRNC is asking that you contact the Republicans in the General Assembly. [More]Good, they recognize pleading with Democrats is generally a waste of time. I'm waiting for more gun groups to figure that out, especially when they ask us to "politely" petition known enemies in safe districts.

Fallen on Hard Times
Cuomo isn’t the group’s only apparent source of financial woe; its most recent available financial filings show annual donations to the group shrank by $55 million from 2016 to 2017. [More]Well, whose fault is that?
Why would any aware gun owner donate a dime to an organization that promotes prior restraint disarmament, greenlights ATF rule reversals, refuses to recognize the greatest threat to RKBA recognition in its political grades, and uses bogus "reasoning" to do it?

A 'Law-Abiding' Gun Owner
CALIFORNIA FARMER REGISTERS HIS GUNS ONLINE, THEN GETS CHARGED WITH A DOZEN FELONIES [More]That'll teach him.
The question is, will other gun owners ever hear of it and react accordingly?
So much for creating disincentives to obey "the law."
Some view it as a positive when learning about high rates of non-compliance, but keep in mind it means if and when the state ever needs it, there will be a serious charge waiting in reserve to exploit when enforcers come in for something else.

UPDATE:
All charges in this case were dropped in February due to a DOJ agent MISREADING A SPREADSHEET!
