It's funny cause most gun owners I know or have met over the years have all felt that they were dumb. Like ok, it makes it close to an automatic, but who cares? Most people have zero capability of shooting them accurately, and it just wastes ammo. But, I guess if they're gonna get banned people will buy them up just because. I'm sure sites like GunBroker are gonna be having auctions for bump stocks for several hundred dollars until any new law goes into effect (assuming that any law actually passes, which I'm still skeptical of because a lot of R's will chicken shit out of voting for it).
Personally, I've always thought they should be banned. All auto rifles, for that matter, even old ones that are outside of the current ban. There's zero reason a citizen needs an automatic rifle (and I say that as someone who has shot one at a range and had a lot of fun with it). If you want one as a collectors item, cool, then it has to be non-functional.
Ah yes, and right on cue...
Prices for bump fire stock on GunBroker (I don't wanna link here)
$350
$2,225
$505
$200
$800
$600
"Well they can list it for that much but no one will buy it!"
Each of those auctions has at least 4-5 bids, the one at $2,225 has 32 bids.
Keep in mind, these used to be sold for MAYBE $100.
