Bump Stocks

[hayboy]

80,000,000 gun owners. We should rule. We deserve whatever we fight to keep. Or not.

 

[Spaz]

Yep.

 

[Fliers]

Has the NRA made any movement to contest this? Or, are they looking for political points to 'support' this ban?

Just think if only 75% if the present gun owners ( and all sportsmen and women) came together as one large voting group, what power could be shown to the politicians at the booths. Maybe then we could gain back the ideals of this old republic and really see the full power of the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights again.

The NRA rolled over and showed their belly. Just like they have been doing a lot lately.

Actually, the estimated number of US gun owners are close to 160,000,000, with a significant minority being Dems.

That said... we could still do it. It would have to be very public and we would have to be very clear as to "why"... but we could force a change in government and media on the way the gun culture is viewed, in an afternoon.

Let's face it. The bump stock was a gimmick invented specifically to get around the machine gun law. And nobody needs one because with a little practice, my friends and I were able to shoot just as fast (and fairly accurately) just by "floating the trigger finger" and using a slightly loose grip and stiff arm the support hand.

IMO, the bump stock is a stupid toy. We as part of the shooting industry would be better off if we joined in mass to not support the “bump stock”. They have no use in the shooting sports and these stocks stress out the of rest of the 90% (?) of America. The sky will not fall.....

I am not part of the "...shooting industry...", I am, however, an American citizen.

But out of curiosity:
What other devices, and rights do you believe should be sacrificed out of apathy, and for the sake of convenience?

Well as long as you've determined what the needs of others are....let that be the threshold for all our rights.

They saw how easy it was to ban the bump stocks. What's for the next anti gun president? "Those sniper scopes and high capacity magazines must be destroyed. Who but the military needs more than a 3x9 scope or ten round magazines?"

It was too easy. How sad.

This is the NRA’s position on Bump Stocks.

“Despite the fact that the Obama administration approved the sale of bump fire stocks on at least two occasions, the National Rifle Association is calling on the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) to immediately review whether these devices comply with federal law. The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semi-automatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations.”

Good idea, somebody needs to start the "American Firearms Association - AFA". Free membership with registration, coordinates everybody on voting for our rights.

Beyond easy:
By administrative fiat, some bureaucrat magically converted a gunstock into a machine-gun.

And definitely: Absolutely nobody needs a bolt action sniper rifle.

I would appreciate your source for that number. That is about 1/2 the TOTAL population and you must realize humans under the age of 18-21 make up a significant part of the total population.

I just find it comical we are discussing this idiotic firearm accessory on a forum with the name “Accurate Shooter!”

I nominate you!!! Good luck doing it for “free.”

The discussion is more about the tyrannical banning of a firearm/ accessory taking place on a firearm forum. If bumpstocks can be called machine gun, then certainly any precision long gun can be called a ‘sniper rifle.

An appeaser is one who feeds the crocodiles, hoping it will eat him last.

I haven’t heard one intelligent argument for bump stocks yet, and you don’t seem up to the task.

Count me out for defending every scam artist invention focused on the double digit I.Q. crowd to make them feel special.

Careful! Someday a Liberal is going to quote you and use it to push for an AR ban.

"will not be infringed" for some reason I can't get that phrase out of my head. Don't give a dam if it's a bump stock, machine gun, air rifle or any other kind of "armament" it happens to be, it's in the dam constitution for a reason. You do notice the fact that we're not under British rule anymore.
