In reply to the discussion: Do you favor banning "bump stock" devices? (Which enable a semi-auto be used almost like an auto) [View all]tortoise1956
(671 posts)The law forbids ownership of automatic weapons except under very strict conditions. There is no earthly reason to allow the sale of modifications that effectively turn a semi-automatic rifle in to one capable of being fired at a rate comparable to that of a select-fire weapon? And as far as I'm concerned, this should apply to ANY modification that, when installed, ends with a weapon that is capable of multiple rounds expended for each single trigger pull. (Please don't try to say that bump stocks are multiple trigger pulls - that is semantics, and frankly after watching my city get shot up by a maniac with a death wish, I'm in no fucking mood to put up with that bullshit...)
For anyone who wants to argue that this falls under infringement, all I can say is that, after the carnage witnessed in Las Vegas Sunday evening, we are in danger of having our second amendment rights curtailed dramatically if we can't agree to at least this change. (Think loss of the ability to carry a weapon outside your home, either open or concealed) Besides, when it really comes down to it, Even Scalia agreed that the 2nd was not an unlimited right.
