Bump Stocks Banned!!!
Categories: News, Shooting
Bump stocks are officially banned and we have a few thoughts…one, well…good luck f***ing finding them. Or have people turn them in. Or do anything aside from stores no longer carrying them. That’s not to say that this is sort of laughable and sad on a few different levels.
To be able to employ a bump stock effectively, one needs tons of training on it. That means tons of ammo, which is expensive. Bump stocks, while they can be used to great effect by a few personnel, are largely a novelty item. Congratulations government, you banned an accessory that is almost exclusively used as a joke.
Now, we’d like to say that stating that fact doesn’t take away from the fact that this law is, in fact, unconstitutional and dumb aaaaaaand ridiculous aaaaaaaaand preposterous (the long “aaaaa” was on purpose).
Will the average owner of a bump stock be able to effectively employ it as a legitimate “automatic” weapons platform? No. They’ll use it as a gag at the range for when they just want to spray rounds at the target. Most of the time again, they won’t even do that.
Congratulations to banning the bump stock U.S. government, you’ve violated the constitution and made a laughing stock out of yourselves to anyone serious in the firearms industry with the language meant to intimidate and scare U.S. voters.
Seriously though, just like the magazine ban in New Jersey, how are you going to enforce this? The item is unregistered and recovering all of them will be a literal nightmare for anyone tasked with doing so if they even choose to enforce this bullshit law.
We cannot emphasize enough how laughable and insulting this move is to those who recognize the importance resisting any law restricting the 2nd amendment…(hell yes we want a machine gun, got a great vantage point from my bedroom window to put a 240. Gotta protect the hood, know what I’m saying?)
Good luck being taken seriously when it comes to firearms anytime soon…like they even were in the first place. Sucks to suck gun grabbers.
Well ummm.. any ‘bumpfire’ enthusiast knows that a simple 2cent rubber-band is more effective and more accurate than the bumpfire stocks sold. Food for thought~
No. Shit.
OohRah !!!! They( government) have no idea what they are doing !!! Like if we are goig to go turn in our stuff because they pass a meaningless law.
Referring to a document that was written when the prevailing technology was the musket is misrepresenting the situation.
As you exercise your first amendment rights on a computer. Tell us more about how Apple and Microsoft were around during the 18th century.
All any half intelligent person has to do is read the Federalist Papers to know that the writers of the constitution didn’t care if it was a musket or a cannon, the 2nd amendment was specifically to make sure the people were as well, or better, armed than the government, to prevent any type of future oppression by that government.
Ah crap!! They broke into my car and took my change and my bump stock. Need to file a report.
Practically speaking, banning Slide Fires, which can increase rates of fire, do decrease accuracy, and certainly have wasted a LOT of ammo, is not much of an issue to me. In principal though taking something that does not change a firearm to the point that it fires more than one shot per trigger pull and banning it because of ONE use in Vegas that was highly illegal already in so many other ways by a lunatic that committed hundreds of actual crimes is just ludicrous and continues to erode gun rights one at a time. I am just glad he did not use actual full auto firearms in a more deadly caliber which he was legally and financially more than able to do in Nevada. It was bad enough that the first thing out of Killary’s mouth was, ” The victims said they were running away from the sound of gunfire. Can you imagine how much worse this would have been if he was using a Silencer?”
