Not a problem for me. I have zero desire to own one. Personally, I think they should be treated the same way that a kit to modify the sear from semi-auto to full auto should be.
If you don't go through the process to be vetted by the FBI and your local law enforcement agent, it should be a federal crime to have anything that turns a semi-auto firearm into a fully automatic one.
The BATFE has a history of condemning many things that violate the spirit of the law, if not the letter of the law. Look at the Thompson Center Contender/Encore rifle/pistol issue. It used to be illegal (might still be) to put a handgun stock and short barrel onto a Contender frame that was originally purchased as a carbine/rifle.
It was EXACTLY the same frame, it was just that the "firearm" was sold as a rifle, and you have converted it to a pistol..... even though you could legally buy a pistol EXACTLY like the one you just "illegally" converted. That violates the law.
Even though the firearm was designed to be modular. Barrel interchangeability, etc...
They need to go back to single shot guns for the public. one shot at a time.. it is the semi and auto matics that kill people quickly and in large numbers in a matter of a few minutes. That is the real problem here.
The way legislation is written, the bump stock does not make it a machine gun..... with the bump stock, the trigger is being pulled for each found fired, not a single actiin of the trigger to fire multiple rounds.

That has the same problem as outlawing guns. Only the honest people would comply. Guns are outlawed in Britain so criminals have little fear of doing home invasions. I doubt criminals do that very much in Texas and other states where gun owners are prevelant.They need to go back to single shot guns for the public. one shot at a time.. it is the semi and auto matics that kill people quickly and in large numbers in a matter of a few minutes.

That would be a reasonable decision, we have leftists promoting emotional, knee jerk decisions, the "safety officer" on site didn't enter the building when the shooting was going on, people have the misconception an armed officer will always protect them, far from it, the law enforcement failed, the FBI failed, the school safety measures failed, all failed, and now the leftists who won't use reason want yet another nanny state rule that would not be honored by a law breaking person.
Many, many warnings were given and they went unheeded, that is where a person who possesses and uses reason would start.
Switzerland has the highest firearm ownership rate with virtually no violence, it definitely is not the inanimate object that jumped up, loaded itself and went to this gun-free zone and did this.

Because liberals/progressives hate guns. They foolishly create gun free zones and don't understand why they create an environment for mass murderers. Also liberals/progressives are solidly in favor of abortion. Their terminology of using the term fetus avoids the fact that a fetus is a living human being!I am puzzled about about these school shootings. I regret that a dozen or more (?) kids were killed in the shooting. But that same day over a thousand children were legally murdered by their mothers and doctors. A mother's womb is the most dangerous place in America for children. In many places the murder rate is over 50%.
If we want to save innocent children, why not start there?
Speaking of recreational firearm usage, I really wanted to go shooting today, way too windy here, makes our wonderful 50's temperature seem like 0.

Wish I could go out.![]()
Out of curiosity, what's going on with you? I know you mentioned pain-killers, but I don't remember what you had happening in your life....
none of my business, I know.... just wondering.
answer by pm if you want... or not at all. I'm being too nosy, I imagine.
