Generally it requires some practice to get the technique down.

[PROCON]

NO!!

You NEVER, EVER let the Left infringe on ANY part of the 2nd Amendment.

They will demand more and more.

Next it'll be "large capacity" magazines.

Then before you know it, the "deadly" AR-15 "Assault Rifle" will look like the California compliant one:

And then they'll want more.

[NorthMountain]

I suggest we consider (reluctantly, but in good faith)

There is no 'good faith' with gun-grabbers. They want you disarmed, kneeling before them, begging for crumbs and hoping they don't just kill you out of spite. Picture yourself groveling before Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, begging for your life. Have no doubt about it: that's how they picture you.

“Knee jerk much, Governor?”

Knee jerk doesn’t begin to cover Inslee. He’s an idiot of the highest magnitude. Next, his lick-spittle AG Bob Ferguson will be filing suits against everybody in the firearms industry. Is it any wonder I want out of this state?

This is a slippery slope to argue. We all know you can bump fire with no device at all. We also know you can simulate auto fire a semi-auto pistol with an auto glove. Making those arguments against banning bump stocks leads you right to banning all semi-auto guns.

A slide stock without a semiauto is useless. A semiauto without a slide stock remains very effective.

“To those who say we can’t talk about machine gun massacres right after the massacre: I’m done waiting for the ‘right time’ to talk about it. The ‘can’t talk about it now’ crowd is killing us,” he said.

The simple fact is that the only thing that the “talk about it” crowd wants, ultimately, is confiscation. Oh, they SAY differently, but everyone knows that this is their goal. Given that, why bother talking to them - not just after a horrible event like this, but at any time? It is as much of a waste of time and effort as talking with the North Korean nutjob.

I was told you could do the same thing with rubber bands.

[SkyDancer]

I heard you can do the same thing with rubber bands. Will they ban rubber bands?

Bump fire or slide fire stocks have grown in popularity in recent years. Starting at $100, the over-the-counter accessories rely on a rifle’s recoil system to simulate full-auto fire without the need of a tax stamp due to National Firearms Act regulations on machine guns. As the devices still require the user’s finger to pull the trigger each time, they are generally unregulated.

Can somebody simply explain how this works? How does a recoil into your shoulder make your finger on the trigger fire in full auto mode?

Thanks!

The ‘can’t talk about it now’ crowd is killing us,” he said

Not yet, governor. Not yet.

[Truth29]

And now, per Fox Business, SlideFire has suspended sales. I bet the price of these devices will soar on the secondary market.

Here's a short video that shows a AR-15 with bump stock in action:

[hattend]

Thanks.

If I had an AR platform I guess I would be trying to find one of these bump stocks before they are outlawed.

Price has probably already doubled from $99.

[RandallFlagg]

As a WA resident I'd be tempted to hurry and buy some bump stocks right now,

From what I've seen, they were all sold out. And the price has skyrocketed from $100.00 to $500.00 per item.

[Charles Martel]

And now, per Fox Business, SlideFire has suspended sales. I bet the price of these devices will soar on the secondary market.

Not surprising - as of yesterday, most of the ones available were already on GunBroker and similar sites - at much higher prices.
