The legislation doesn't even mention "bump stocks" and here's the bill itself.

It has great potential to gut the arms industry and ban modern semi-auto rifles.

Get a higher quality trigger group for your AR and you are now in violation of another unconstitutional law.

Bigger magazines could be interpreted as “increasing the rate of fire”.

So if I squeeze the trigger real fast I’m breaking the law.

Oops, WalMart, Staples, and OfficeMax are going to have to remove rubberbands from the shelves. Where do we turn ours in? What about belt loops?

Every component part and the whole assembly of a semi-automatic rifle or handgun serves to increase the rate of fire without converting it to full auto.

This is an attempt to ban semi-automatics entirely.

The video on how to bumpfire without buying a stock is still on the breitbart site. Several others if you go directly to the youtube link. No need to buy a stock. Rubberbands or a strong belt loop, or thumb is all that is needed

What a complete waste of time. Just watched a video that by removing a spring turns the weapon in to a full automatic weapon. No filing, no needed kitsb just remove a spring.

Any fool with a semi auto can bumpier a rifle.

they will have to reword every law going back to 1934.

“[The bill will] prohibit the manufacture, possession, or transfer of any part or combination of parts that is designed and functions to increase the rate of fire of a semiautomatic rifle but does not convert the semiautomatic rifle into a machinegun, and for other purposes.”

In order to measure if a part or combination of parts increases the rate of fire of a semiautomatic rifle, you first need to establish the normal rate of fire.

What is the 'normal' rate of fire for an AR? How do you define the 'normal' rate of fire for a semiatuo?

So every gun owner would then have have all their fingers cut off then according to this since fingers increase the rate of fire on any firearm.

Now that I think about it they increase the rate bombs blow up and help steer a truck or plane into a crowd or hold knives.

That’s it! We aren’t taking any chances. From now on all Rat’s have to have their fingers cut off. They can keep their thumbs because we are generous that way. Their mental illness just makes it too much of a risk to let them keep their fingers. We can keep ours of course because we belong to the ‘normals’ group.

My God! This guy is the biggest idiot in congress and that’s really saying something. He should definitely have a ‘D’ after his name.
