I agree that they shouldn't be banned because it would just open another avenue for those who want to ban everything.
Still stand by only idiots would want a device that allows one to use up a lot of ammo - for every 1 killer out there, there a far too many "hold muh beer and watch this" types out there. It is their right to throw ammo a way as a 'party trick" but I can't fathom why there would be enough of a market to keep them viable as a product.
Anyone who wants a bump stock can make one. It’s not all that hard. A ban might be used as a pretext for a Ruby Ridge-type ATF raid, such as was done on the Weavers, on suspicion of sawing off a shotgun.
Things that can be done by a gun-smith hobbyist shouldn’t be banned. But sometimes you have to give a mugger your wallet. I don’t care enough about bump stocks to fight for them. Just for the sake of shutting them up, I’d throw bump stocks to the wolves.
hear! Hear!
Besides the proper response to an attack on Pearl Harbor was not to discuss a disarmament treaty with Japanese, but when right wingers get shot up at a concert, oh boy, the Powers are so afraid that a right wing hunting party will start up against the leftist terrorists, they immediately start talking of bagging limits , thus turning the 2A of defense into an accusation of it being un Pc language of offense.
Now why would that be!? And why would they concurrently keep using the term domestic Terrorist but not islamic Terrorist? Because PC is a front and cover for genocide, pogrom and against any sheeple based threat to the upper up statist chain of command ruling us like privates.
The State was never meant to be much more than ruling over state workers. There is a high need of a convention against a seditionist state viewing us as their subjects.
