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.

That may be how the NRA and the President viewed it, with bump stocks being sacrificed in an attempt to save semi-auto rifles.
If that is indeed the reason bump stocks were banned, it's a ploy that will not work, because it will not prevent mass shootings.
The next shooting rampage with an AR15 will cause efforts to impose a ban on semi-auto rifles to resume as intensely as before.
