A good friend and I were on Freepmail, and he gave me his opinion that bumpstocks made firearms full automatic -- thus, illegal. My response:
"There is only one flaw to your argument that I can see: Bumpstocks technically, by the definition in the Federal Register, do not make a firearm an automatic.

"The only real legal remedy I can see are these:

"1) Redefine automatic firearm in the Federal Register, and this is a very bad option, since antigunners can introduce all sorts of mischief and mayhem therein. It is the original 'slippery slope'.

"2) Create a bill in the House that calls out all manner of aftermarket devices, by function (slidefiring, crank triggers, binary triggers, et. al.), and make those illegal. Get it through the Senate, back through the House, and Trump signs. This is my preferred option, and it has to happen quick, in case Democrats seize either organ of state."
