For avid gun owners this is hilarious that people are so upset about it and it’s painfully obvious to us that the most upset have very little experience with firearms and zero experience with a bump stock. They are extremely inaccurate (the military almost never use full auto on small arms, it’s only useful for suppressive fire as a tactic to maneuver as a squad) and difficult to use. You need to be very relaxed for it to work properly. A machine gun cycles the bolt, a bump stock cycles the entire firearm around the trigger but it only does so if you are very relaxed and let the recoil cycle the firearm. It is completely useless as a weapon and only minimally useful as a gimmick. Furthermore you can bump fire an AR-15 or AK easily without a bump stock but nobody does it regularly as ammo is very expensive. Your odds of hitting anything more than the side of a hill or the side of a barn are less than stellar. Not to give anyone any ideas but if anti firearms folks wanted to really piss us off they would make bump stocks mandatory as they literally render a semi auto ride useless.
The outrage over bump stocks is an embarrassment to anti firearms folks. It exposes your ignorance and we find it completely comical. Carry on.
edit: bump stocks are the equivalent of cable risers. If you have a semi auto firearm with a 30 round magazine, do you want 30 individual chances of aiming and a high likelihood of hitting your target or do you want a 2 second burst using all your ammo without hitting anything?
At some point and distance, 'close enough' is all that's needed and when someone is spraying lead indiscriminately because their brain is broken, do accuracy and the fact that the military doesn't use full auto in most cases really matter?
As I wrote previously, somewhere, bump stocks can be limited to those who need them and were the intended users- people who don't have full use of their hand/arm, but fully able-bodied don't need them.
To be clear, the media over-sensationalism of everything they and theirs want banned is the reason for all of the bitching & moaning about ARs, large cap magazines, bump stocks, etc. Switches for Glocks seem to be used mainly by gang bangers and turds to shoot up houses, make videos and terrorize and they're almost impossible to regulate because of the small size but it's still the idiots who use guns stupidly/carelessly when they can't settle beefs in any other way who are the problem. Well, the court system, too and the link below shows how they're responsible but aren't held accountable-
The gunfire erupted Wednesday night near Washington Park. An investigator called it "infuriating."

Chew on this for a minute- "Hughes said MCSO arrested the same person May 20 on a charge of felon in possession of a firearm. Chief Deputy Hughes said that person was out on $750 cash bail at the time of the Washington Park shooting."- this douchebag is 17, so he was 17 when he was arrested last month when he was already a felon in possession of a firearm but it was the judge or court commissioner who set the bail.
This idiot kid doesn't need to be free, again.
Then, there's his 'father'- I saw him on the news, saying "Most times, when I get a call, it's to find out which station he's at" and he seemed OK with it.
