“2) I don’t want to pay too much for ammo so the idiots that use bump stocks are driving my prices up.”

The folks at the local gun range (surrounded by homes) only allow you to chamber one round at a time in your rifle due to safety reasons.

I go there to sight-in, but it isn’t much in the way of training with a semi-automatic weapon. However, if everyone in the country was forced to chamber one round at a time - it would probably save on ammo and bring the prices down.

And just think of the fewer casualties we would have in these mass shootings - you could take them down as they are chambering their next round. (That is of course an argument against they have used against semi-autos).

At first blush “bump stocks” seem to just circumvent the law. I saw them years ago and I thought “why in the heck are those things legal?”. But it is a slippery slope. Here in Washington state somebody tried (and failed) to pass a law on bump stocks and other modifications that would increase the rate of fire - and spelled out in it was having a gunsmith work on a trigger to make it smoother or lighter in pull!
