Bump stocks

[SSG69]

What is the story on bump stocks? Are they banned? If so, how could this ever be enforced? What if the device is not installed on the gun? How can a piece of aluminum or plastic be deemed a machine gun?

I can't see where any of this makes any sense.

Thoughts?

Maybe explain this question to the legislators, and/or your representatives, so that THEY can explain the logic and utopia of this 'law'. This way, enforcement can be clear, concise, and fair.

That work? Let us know what they say.

You kidding?
The list of crap related to gun regulations that are senseless is about endless.

No part of liberalism makes any sense.
Liberalism is not based on logic, only feelings.

I was born with the ability to bump fire all semi auto guns with recoil. It's called having a finger. I don't need some over priced gimmicky stock to accomplish that.

You been in a Coma? And that goes for both my questions.

1. Member since 2007 and 6 posts = Coma

2. Are Bumpstocks banned question = Coma

edit: If you come back with "actaully yes, I was in a Coma for the better part of 12 years after rolling my 4x4 down a mountain" or some other catastrophic event, save it. You can't make me feel like shit.

Holy shit, they make a bumpfire stock for an AK... Literally the easiest firearm to bump fire...

Exactly. When has gun control ever made sense? Gun control laws are akin to me walking right smack into a door because my dumb ass was too busy looking at my phone and not paying attention, and then suing the property owner to have the door removed. Does that make sense to anyone?

Of course, the statists are going for total disarmament...But for the members of the public to buy up all of the ludicrous nonsense put out by these scammers, inexcusable.

It's time to vote for the NRA directors. Does anyone know which candidates caved on this? I need to vote against them.

No, not in a coma. I was active on here a little back then, but life got in the way. All my posts disappeared when the format changed.

I’m aware of what the atf says, but no bumpstock that I’ve seen can harness any energy. I guess I am wondering how they can change the rules without any vote, if this rules change is legal, and asking how any non mechanical device would apply.

You gotta good point. Unfortunately we've been sold down the road. Again. PS: Welcome back.
