WILL ANYONE STEP UP A& TAKE THE MEMBERS OF THE USSC TO A GUN RANGE & DEMONSTRATE THE BUMP STOCK???

AS I UNDERSTAND—_THE BUMP STOCK will ONLY stabilize the gun.

Cannot understand how it will INCREASE the rate of firing.

A folding stock is what stabilizes the a gun that could (according to BATF) transform a handgun into an SBR.

A bump stock is a device that utilizes the recoil from firing to chamber and fire a successive round. The “bump” is the trigger against the finger.

A couple of notes about the article. Claiming a bump stock enabled weapon can fire hundreds of rounds per minute is misleading because to do so you would have to have a magazine that holds hundreds of rounds. It should say if can increase the rate of fire of a weapon.

Second, because of the mechanics of a bump stock, the accuracy of the shooter will be significantly lower with a bump stock enabled weapon.

Think you might be confusing pistol brace with bump stocks.

You're thinking of the pistol brace, a bump stock will not stablize the gun. With a lot of practice you might be able to hit something, without a lot of practice they are wildly inacurate.
