Bump stock, full or semi auto, high capacity magazines should be owned by anyone who wishes to own them. Background checks are fine and needful. Yet, people don't arm themselves to defend against someone breaking into their home. The right to bear arms is to protect against a government who is afraid of their people. Fear to such a degree that it will govern through force and persecution. Doors being kicked in isn't a new idea, it has happened in the past.

Ruby Ridge was a prime example of the entrapment before the knock on the door. Branch Davidian Compound is what happens when government force forgets its own strength. Then ends up with an objective to end the situation by any means available. The knock on the door was a via on bullet through the front door. Do I side with David Koresh? No, the guy was a religious screwball. But he didn't use his guns and rifles as a part of his crazy ecclesiastical self importance.

He used the guns and rifles to defend against agents of the government when they chose to use unnecessary force against a compound filled with women and children.
