bloodfart,

The Supreme Court was low key right to overturn atfs bump stock ban, so going through congress to get a ban is the right way to do it, but…

It’s a dumb thing to blow political capital on.

"As a firearms owner myself, there’s no legitimate use for a bump stock – not for self defense, not in a law enforcement context, not even in military applications … but what they are tailor made for is a mass shooting.

Sen. Martin Heinrich (D) of New Mexico

There’s lots of non-legitimate ways people use guns. For example, I’ve only ever shot them for fun. I imagine being able to have a simulated machine gun experience without all the red tape is pretty fun.

However, we outlawed three-wheeled ATVs despite them being fun so it’s not an argument.

There’s plenty of ranges that you can rent much more fun automatic weapons, and really the red tape isn’t that bad for that.

Bump stocks legitimately suck.

555,

If you want to fire a machine gun, go to a range that has a machine gun.

BrianTheeBiscuiteer,

I have no problem with regular people having the ability to shoot machine guns or similar auto-fire weapons but for God’s sake license that shit!

“I need a bump stock for hunting!1!”

“I only enjoy hunting if I can spray 35 bullets into a deer in 0.8 seconds. That’s how real men hunt.”

“I like how the lead makes the meat taste. Tangy and metallic.”

lost_faith,

More of a sugary flavour, ask the Romans

TachyonTele,

That’s 35 more than these guys can spray in the last 8 years probably.
