As night follows day, mass shootings in America are followed by a succession of Democratic politicians and liberal activists pushing for tighter gun restrictions. Almost as reliably, those efforts fail. But in the wake of the massacre in Las Vegas, in which Stephen Paddock killed 58 people and injured hundreds more at an outdoor concert, there is reason to believe this time might be different. Paddock used “bump stock” devices that effectively turn semi-automatic firearms into fully automatic weapons, causing a higher death toll. Republicans and Democrats in Congress have shown some support for a ban of bump stocks. House Speaker Paul Ryan has echoed the National Rifle Association’s preference for a regulatory ban, while a bipartisan group of 20 House members has introduced legislation that would make it illegal to manufacture, own, or transfer bump stocks. There is also an openness to banning bump stocks among voters and officeholders in the battleground counties featured in The Race To 2020. All of these counties have strong gun cultures.

No, we are not.
Ban bump stocks and get it over with.....they make a legal gun illegal.
I would beg to differ.
No they don’t.
They are?
There is no such thing as an illegal gun. There are however, illegal uses of a gun, just like any other tool which is used to hurt others.
Welcome to Free Republic!
Troll.
“Ban bump stocks and get it over with.....they make a legal gun illegal.”
****
No, they do not. Are you trolling or just ignorant about guns?
Ban high capacity trucks as well.
More people dead than in Vegas from one event. The Vegas killer had explosives, one way or another he planned to kill a large number of people.

As a Trump supporter, I have no problem in banning bump stocks. Why does anyone need to fire that many rounds in such a short period of time? We have two Glock handguns. Anyone who tries to harm my family or me will have to answer to about 30 rounds fired one at a time.
Nobody asked Me!
Gun Grabbers Get Nothing..
No Thing.
Rubber Bands and Springs are now on the Menu.
I for one will never surrender my Assault Slinky.
Another way to prevent another Las Vegas is to make Buildings over ten feet tall Illegal with no Grandfathering.
The only exceptions, Buildings with no Windows that have 6” thick Titanium Exteriors and Angular Teflon Coated Roofs with no access.
no, we are NOT!
repeal all ‘gun control’ laws and regulations, make government (more) honest again
and shut HilLIARy the F up!
three things to pray for
Why you say?
the obvious answer follows:
there are scenarios (situations) when you will not be able to get a clean injuring/deadly shot on an attacker, but armed with a selective fire rifle, you would be able to fire short or long bursts as needed until those you are protecting have found COVER and not concealment.
FYI
No they don’t.
Gee Joined Oct 3 2017 And pushing Gun Control ,
How trollish
This is stupid beyond belief. Anyone with practice can do this. Look up Jerry Miculek on YouTube.
”Shall not be infringed”
I have no desire to own a bump stock or even a full auto.
What difference does that make?
No more gun bans period!
BTW they always manage to ban a whole lot more than they claim.
As a vet here at FR, you should know that this should have been posted to the BANGLIST.
Wait, what?
