Thankfully, the NRA is open to some common sense.

Banning bump stocks would no more allow the government to seize our guns than enforcing traffic laws would cause the government to seize our cars.

It is an unnecessary and lethal mechanism that has nothing whatsoever to do with our Second Amendment rights.

Restricting the availability of bump stocks, could help deter another mass shooting and I don’t know how anyone in their right mind could oppose this.

I have contacted Rep. Meadows’ office, who appears to be open about this as well and is in my home state of North Carolina. I have urged him to follow through and not just talk about it.

Common sense?
Okay, by your premise, we should regulate specific car features every time someone kills while driving drunk.
After all, it’s common sense!

“Banning bump stocks would no more allow the government to seize our guns than enforcing traffic laws would cause the government to seize our cars.”

But it sets a precedent and opens the question, what rate of fire shall the Feds allow? Bump stocks allow about 100-200 RPM, maybe, but should that limit be set lower?

Also, if semis are banned, the bump stock issue is irrelevant.

You are truly a special kind of stupid if you believe that banning these will do anything to stop madmen.

Once again, only the law-abiding are hurt.
