Whether you want to ban assault rifles or not is irrelevant in this topic; pretty much everyone agrees that automatic rifles have no business in civilian hands. These bump stocks essentially mimic the effects of an automatic rifle, which regular people are prohibited from buying. So why are the makers of these mods not in jail? They essentially just found a loophole to allow people to have an automatic weapon.

Because without a gun, the bump stock would be useless?

I mean even if we put them in jail people are gonna find ways to get this anyway so we might as well do nothing.

Not the same at all. One is used in a variety of different legal fire arms, and the other is a modification that converts a legal rifle into a clone of something that is banned.

By that logic why are fully automatic guns themselves illegal? They're useless without bullets!

i thought automatic guns weren't illegal for civilians, just that there's an expensive and extensive license to buy to be able to purchase automatic weapons

I can see no one read the OP. I'm NOT in favor of banning guns, however, modding a gun to replicate something that is already illegal should equate to jail time. For both the person who sold the mod and the person using the mod.

But you can achieve roughly the same effect just by pulling the trigger rapidly. I'm no expert but I'd imagine ACTUAL automatic weapons fire much faster.

It's better to have a gun and not need it than to need a gun and not have it.

Bump-fire essentially turns the entire firearm into the action, apart from the sliding bit at the end of the buttstock.

You can't make something illegal and retroactively jail someone for doing/making it while it was legal.

Ex post facto laws exist for a reason.

Don't need a bump stock to bump fire... <_<


Even 14 year old kids on CoD can tell you that hip fire and firing from the shoulder are significantly different. Don't be purposefully dense.

I know hip fire was used to provide cover for advancing troops on trenches and bunkers in WW2.

1. Can't jail someone when no law exists yet.
2. The stock itself is harmless. Not sure a ban would be upheld by the courts.
3. Even if banned, there are plenty of other ways to mimic the auto effect.
