Who needs a bump stock anyway? The key is to know your weapon. When you hold your finger on the trigger and you lock your arm.......pull your weapon from your shoulder forward so your finger fires the bullet. The recoil from a 7.62 x 39 or a .223 is not too terrible but is enough to push the stock against your shoulder again and again and again as you pull forward into your trigger finger. Not a device you add on but true gun control! The key is to know the pressure necessary to have it respond more like an automatic.
It’s even more fun with a plinker like a .22, which by the way is the cheapest way to learn.
I'm not a fan of bump stocks, since they degrade accuracy. But any loss of freedom means Trump will be a one term wonder. One and done!
I'm actually in favor of the ban since they are used to circumvent the legalities of different classes of firearms. With that said I also think automatics should be completely legal for anyone with a basic firearms licence to own.
Since when is it right to abdicate your unalienable right to allow others to license your.......speech, press, speedy trial, vote, religion? In the same breath only those who are afraid you might shoot back, want to take away your right to”speak” as loudly as they do. Believe you me, this is where erosion of the second amendment leads to. Government of progressive socialists aren’t afraid of felons but people they want to control. Hopefully the D.C. area will slide back into the ocean during the next big one. The rising of the oceans can’t come fast enough for some.
@Jeff Allen Enough practice with a semi-auto can be just as effective as the best bump stock
You need to revise your description of how bump stocks work. They DON'T have springs (which possibly could, indeed, make them illegal devices), just a slightly loose butt-stock, attached to a small projection beside the trigger. The shooters trigger finger rests against that projection, while the other hand applies forward pressure on the rest of the rifle, usually at the fore stock. Recoil moves the rifle back a fraction of an inch (as it always does), but the trigger finger doesn't move back. The forward pressure supplied by the shooter's other arm/hand then pushes the rifle and trigger back against the shooters finger, firing another shot...repeated until forward pressure is relaxed. Each shot requires the finger to actuate the trigger, under the muscle power of the shooter...hence NOT a fully automatic or "machine gun". The ATF acknowledged this until they were pressured politically to fabricate a fake analysis of the item.
The loose butt-stock is what makes them less accurate than a true automatic, or a solid-stock semi-auto, as the rifle cannot be as firmly held and aimed.
The ban is a solution in search of a problem, as only one crime supposedly (use never actually confirmed by the FBI, as far as I've heard) committed with these devices has ever occurred, and with estimates running from half a million to as high as four million on the count as to how many are in the public's hands.
Oh, so if you don't turn in a firearm accessory that you legally purchased you are a felon which automatically disqualifies you from the right to bear arms? This is an absolute disgrace from the Trump Administration and an outright attack on the 2nd Amendment. You should be ashamed of yourself Trump!
