IWB lost all credibility. Closer to what truth?

What PCs were ordered cleaned by the FBI? Crickets. To make such a claim and not give specifics is YELLOW JOURNALISM.

Riddle me this Batman: How does ridding bump stocks get rid of the 2nd Amendment?

Bump stocks are a novelty for inaccurate fire. It looks cool on youtube, but there is a reason the US military went to 3-round burst after Vietnam. And many would argue the burst selection is unnecessary. It is beneath the dignity and sense of a riflemen to employ bump stocks as a standard capability for preventing government tyranny. ONE unanswerable, well-aimed rifle shot trumps all BS.

Honestly, who didn't see or couldn't predict movement in Congress to ban bump stocks after this mass murder? Conspiracy? IWB brings conversation to a new low here on FR. They are the right's equivalent to Salon.

‘IWB’ is Nigerian for ‘ZeroHedge’.

How does ridding of ‘bump stocks’ eliminate another mass shooting?

- How does limiting the purchase of ammo to the same #/type of shells you ‘recycle’?
- Or limiting to a single purchase per X?
- Or...

Slippery slope is already WAY too slippery.

Sure, but what is the point of it, other than stupid, splashy P.R. for the anti-Second Amendment folks to say “We Won!”

Banning bump stocks is attempting to ban the laws of physics, because bump stocks use simple physics, and there are numerous ways of duplicating or creating a reasonable facsimiles thereof.

President Trump is doing the best job on this. Insist on waiting until the emotion dies down, then discussing it rationally.

Don’t know about ‘computers’, but there have been numerous reports on the web about people who turned their phones over to the FBI getting them back either completely wiped, with everything relating to the shooting, photos, videos, and text messages, wiped.

You need to check up on HR3999. NOT A BUMP STOCK BAN.

It’s anything that can increase the rate of fire of a semi-auto.

It could be gun oil, that is how open ended it is.

Not that I agree with a bump stock ban at all, but really, open ended rate of fire increase, your finger could cause your gun to become illegal, heck your finger could be illegal.

And it opens the door to ATF defining “proper” rate of fire.

So read and think before you assume you know what is happening.

“Shall not be infringed”. Doesn’t get clearer than that.
