Hook a rubberband to a belt, hook it on your thumb, put your finger on the trigger and wala, you have a homemade bumpstock for a couple of pennies.

The BATF a few years ago decided that shoelaces were machine gun “parts”.

Complete bullshit.

Totally. Over-emotional leftist hysteria.

Yes.

But if you go to the comment section at MSN, (I do advise wearing a full hazmat suit before clicking) you can see him getting schooled by nearly everyone there.

.....the law is ambiguous at best

The law isn't ambiguous. The ATF violated it, pure and simple, which is why SCOTUS slapped them down.

Anything to let the low info crowd know how out of control the “Republican” court is, just in time for the “let Trump get away with real crimes meme”.

Trying to convince the ignorant that Trump is really a criminal that no one should vote for. More election tampering by the MSN.

I’m so old I can remember when people who wrote serious commentary about an issue were expected to have some basic knowledge of the subject they were writing about.

The words of a total illiterate. A semi-auto action has a mechanism that "catches" the hammer if the trigger is retracted. On release of the trigger, the mechanism releases the hammer and it moves to catch on the sear. That release is typically called a "reset" and must occur before the trigger can release the hammer again by moving the sear.

A full auto mechanism is different. If the trigger remains retracted, the auto-sear releases the hammer after the bolt goes into "battery" and allows another firing sequence to begin. If the trigger is released, the auto-sear holds the hammer back until the trigger is operated again.

In each case, semi-auto or full-auto, the design of the fire control mechanism dictates whether a single shot or multiple rounds get fired with a single depression of the trigger.

The "bump stock" provides a sloppy way to use the motion of the WHOLE RIFLE experiencing recoil to "reset" the trigger between presses. It is extremely inaccurate and requires some skill to achieve a burst of fire. It's stupid range toy for people who have lots of money to burn dumping magazines full of ammo.

Hook your thumb in the belt loop of your jeans. Instant Bump Stock without regard to stock.

Do we need to outlaw pants?

My favorite is the 22LR bolt carrier conversion

The usual corporate media lies. A bump stock is nothing like a “machine gun”.

About 25 years ago, I saw a transferrable 7.62 minigun for only $125,000. If I had had the money....

He sounds like that wuss who claimed shooting an AR-16 bruised him and gave him PTSD. The same AR-15 that 6 year old girls shoot while dad watches.

They did not legalize machine guns. The Supreme Court says that the Constitution requires “due process” and that ATF didn’t cross all the “T’s” and dot the “I’s.”

Will Democrats support not being charged for having an automatic weapon then?
