Well, there are restrictions in terms of automatic weapons anyway. Bump stocks allow semi-automatic to simulate an automatic, right?
As long as the standard infantry rifle is capable of full auto, those restrictions are unconstitutional. We have tolerated them for 80 years against our wishes. Again, this order might mention “bump stocks: but they are such a minute market share, the real issue is about the “other devices”.
“Bump stocks allow semi-automatic to simulate an automatic, right?”
Yes, they do, but the rifle itself is still just a semi-automatic. So the notion that the bump stock “turns it into a fully automatic rifle” is not true. The firing mechanism which allows only one round to be expended with each pull of the trigger remains fully functional. I have not used a bump stock, but back in the late 1960’s I worked for a military vendor and had an opportunity to fire an M16. I can’t believe that with the necessity of trigger reset after every pull, that a bump stock can get anywhere near the rate of fire of the fully automatic version (i.e. the M-16)!
