I know this sounds like a big deal, but people who know what they are doing can make bumps stocks using rubber bands.
Get a grip, Ian. And a clue.
Hogwash!
You can tell the author of this article would most likely be terrified of a Red Ryder BB Gun.
The shooter used bump stocks to kill so many people so quickly.

We have not seen the truth on that incident yet.

covered it.
I downloaded it. It is still up on rumble.
Lots of coverup.
I would much prefer someone trying to shoot me with a 2-3 second burst of automatic fire, then to hunt me down and fire off 30 precise shots as I try to escape or hide.
First off, machine guns are not illegal. Second, a butt stock that can be put on a pistol or rifle is not a machine gun, it’s a butt stock.
Which weapons are automatic?
I’ll wait.
Wow, so many factual errors in one brief bit of writing. Intended as fear-mongering, I suppose.
Absolute BS. Also...doesn’t shall not infringe mean what it says?
The article is rubbish. The court decision changes nothing about the rules or laws pertaining to owning machine guns. And it is legal to own machine guns after obtaining the specified permits.
I cannot really afford the expense of ammunition for a full-automatic weapon or a bump stock. And I don't like the loss of accuracy in either configuration.
But people who want those toys should be allowed to have them.
The ATF should be abolished. Enough already!
Sounds like Ian Millhiser just soiled himself...

Bump stocks and machine guns are two entirely different things. Good lord, the MSM is stoopid.
Given the price of ammo what use is a but stock?
The National Firearms Act of 1934 requires a $200 tax on machine guns.
The Firearm Owners’ Protection Act of 1986 limits machine guns to government agencies, and to those machine guns lawfully owned before the effective date of the prohibition. The Act prohibits civilian sales of newly manufactured machine guns.
It is not a Federal crime to own a legally owned machine gun, but it costs a lot of money, because the supply is limited to those legally owned prior to 1986. (In 1986 I should have invested my pension money in machine guns instead of stocks.)
Hey, can somebody please fact check this?
I think this dude may be missing some vital information about how firearms actually work.
I wish.
The bump stock thing was used as a cover for the Las Vegas killer. We still don’t know any details about the shooter or if he/she was ever caught/arrested/tried. This was a shiny object to distract the public while the FBI has hidden all evidence on the killing.
