Banning, ok but they are so easily made that the penalty for creating an equivalent needs to be severe. Edited: Removing the link to the video previously posted myself, there are several and easily found but a back-link is a bad idea.
I'm not sure a bump stock ban would be of any good without a high capacity magazine ban. Then again, both will just be circumvented by the next clever chap that puts one together with some epoxy and PVC piping. In essence the bump stop circumvented the auto ban, the next shooter will just need to find a stealthier more impenetrable nest to reload if using semi-auto.
In the meantime we can continue to ignore a society becoming ever more detached from reality via technology, a media hell bent on pounding a wedge to create deeper divides among us, all just to have something to yak about 24-7, and a general prevailing attitude that has abandoned all personal accountability for anything and readily accepts that there just must be someone else responsible for their shitty life. Yep, can't see how this doesn't all work out just swell.
I've given up, I just gotta figure out the needs of ever growing isolated individuals so I can profit from it. I'm thinking sex dolls
Las Vegas shooting victims are suing the makers and sellers of bump stocks for their alleged role in the massacre https://finance.yahoo.com/news/las-vegas-shooting-victims-suing-173530356.html "A bump stock is not a firearm and it is not ammunition. It does not qualify for immunity."
Stupid. But in this country, that's not surprising. A item that is defective and causes physical harm should mean the manufacturer is liable. An item that is used with intent to harm someone isn't the fault of the manufacturer any more than Mercedes is liable for building the truck the driver in Nice used to mow down dozens of people.
Ten good reasons not to ban bump stocks. http://www.breitbart.com/big-govern...en-reasons-gun-owners-oppose-ban-bump-stocks/ The one that concerns me is the language that is used could easily be distorted by activist judges or officials in a democrat administration to ban other items, eg large cap mags. You have to be totally braindead not to expect them to do just that. I remember when Bush 41 naively signed on to the Americans With Disabilities Act because it would protect people in wheelchairs. Now it has been distorted beyond recognition to protect endless classes of nutcases. You don't need a special stock to bump fire an AR or AK. So then the argument will be, these guns are just too dangerous for the public to own. Most dems already feel that way. Why do anything that gives credence to that? And why give them a victory that validates more gun control when we know they will only move on to the next item?
