Is there a video demonstrating how this works?
Mentioned it in the other thread, Bump Stocks and Gat Cranks have always existed in that weird gray zone that felt like they could be dealt a legal blow with enough criticism. The real question is enforcement, because obtaining a homemade solution is so easy. Again as mentioned in the other thread, at least with the bump stock you can 3D print one out quick enough, but at that point the question is probably more limiting the ease of obtaining one on the legal market vs whatever black market crops up.
gun laws won't be changing anytime soon
Jesus Christ. I had no idea that bump stocks were even a thing. It's obvious to me that people should not be allowed to fit these on a semiautomatic firearm. I watched a couple of those YouTube videos and those effectively make them automatic weapons.
Edit: How would you prevent people from 3D printing something like this though?
We find that the 'bump-stock' is a firearm part and is not regulated as firearm under the Gun Control Act or the National Firearms act.
I wonder how big of a tragedy would it take for the public sentiment to overcome nra money.

Honestly, I don't think any tragedy will do the trick. Maybe if Black Lives Matters started arming themselves then you might see some gun control.
If he has 11 guns and two bump-stocks that seem not to have been installed, it seems that possibly the fact he has eleven guns is the bigger issue. In many ways I'm tempted to think that have a high velocity, semi-automatic rifle would be more deadly than a full automatic (or effectively fully auto). It doesn't take too longer to empty a magazine in semi auto and the relatively lack of kick might mean those bullets that do leave are more likely to hit their target (which in this case was a huge area).

We just recently had a thread on fandoms about Rick and Morty where people openly recognized that people getting too invested in a hobby results in it becoming a key (even obsessive) part of their personality.It is irritating that gun enthusiasts dont acknowledge or accept fetishism as an issue
It causes them to lose respect for the killing power of the weapons they own while they chase this power fantasy of being a one man army
Im not trying to blanket accuse all gun owners here but the way gun owners are marketed to is abundantly clear and no one bats an eye
I rather like this one for example of how these things fire: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29evY77S13M
How would a bump stock aid home defense?
Gun fetishism needs a limit when it needlessly endangers lives.
As long as citizens united exists no gun laws will change.
Bump fire stocks serve no purpose, at all. Even gun owners know this and the only people who have one use it as a "range toy". They are useless for defense, hunting, sport shooting, everything. They should to be outlawed. Same for binary triggers which also fire faster than semiautomatic. That and background checks would be a good step in the right direction. At the very least, if bump stocks we're illegal he wouldn't have killed and injured far less.
But the NRA will argue that bump stocks are protected by the second amendment. Even though they aren't fucking firearms but an accessory.
That Bruce is a bad poster.What is this supposed to prove?

Just the fact that police cant keep gun data by law is so egregious to me, I cant even start to understand how the govt let it reach this level.

The major difference here is that TV shows, video games, sports, etc. don't revolve around a tool that was designed for killing.
Gun culture enthusiasts, gun hobbiests, whatever you would like to call the people who get too deep in this hobby are not immune to these negative levels of attachment and as such, we need to address gun culture even if there are responsible owners.

Democrats are scared to death of the NRA and gun lobby and bend over backwards not to step on the toes of gun owners, including this PR stunt by Obama. So you expect something to change by law? Not happening anytime soon
How easy is it really though?
Cuz even the smallest hurdles and laws can act as a reasonable deterrent for opportunistic criminals
I thought all conversion mods were illegal! How is this a thing?
Faster than a lot of autos. Crikey. I can't imagine being able to hit anything with anything resembling accuracy but that rof is insane.
Wait, Ive heard gun owners joke about the ATF enforcing shoestrings. I thought all conversion mods were illegal! How is this a thing?
There is a huge difference between an O/U and an AR-15. If Obama was shooting an AR, you might have a point.

Republican baseball team got assaulted and nothing happened
the moment 20 children got blown away in an elementary school and nothing changed, i think it became obvious that no tragedy would be big enough.
I used to hunt the old fashioned way too. Now I only use my Unimog-mounted fully automatic grenade launcher fed with 40mm HEs. This way I don't even have to skin my kills anymore. Keeps the forest nice and tidy too.As a sportsman and a hunter I would just like to point out that bump stocks massively increase the accuracy and safety of my weapon and also 50 cal rounds make neat painless holes in ethically raised venison.
Your move.
