Important information about bump stocks

[stanc]

One thing about the bump stock and Vegas thing. Lets say that none of the weapons he had with bump stocks were used in the act of terror and murders he committed. The reality of today indicates that we as gun owners would be handed two choices. First we could accept that bump stocks be banned and keep our semi automatic rifles. Or the rifles would be banned and we could keep the bump stocks. Lesser of two evils? Slippery Slope? Doesn't matter what you call it, given the political and social condition of our country right now, those are probably the choices we would be handed.

The reality is that bump stocks were used in the Vegas shooting. The "two choices" you cite may actually be why bump stocks were scapegoated by both the NRA and the President. If that is indeed the case, I doubt that the ploy will work. Since the bump stock ban will have no effect on future mass shootings, attention will return to semi-auto firearms like the AR15.
