When I was single and free, I used to go out in the desert and shoot with a friend. AK, SKS, .308 scoped and a variety of handguns. Several of my friends have a large collection. I have a Ruger LC9s for conceal carry.

Now my hobby is my family. I visit an indoor range up the street from us every few months or so.

So, I take it that you enjoyed shooting atleast to a small degree. With that being the case I don't understand how you can be for the government banning anything to do with shooting.

This isn't a gun which they want to ban. It is a device which causes legal semi auto rifles to function like an illegal fully automatic rifle. I see no issue.

If they wanted to ban rifles like the AR-15, I'd be upset. They're not.

Even the NRA is open to Congress passing some sort of regulation on it.

Gun owners are typically a responsible bunch. They don't want anything that would make it look like they are circumventing the law. That would make them look pretty bad to the average American.

I can support banning bump stocks. The 2nd Amendment protects our right to bear arms. That would include for hunting, sport, collection, and self-defense. And there are plenty of fine weapons to choose from to use for hunting, sport, collection, and self-defense. One doesn't have a Constitutional "right" to own a "bump stock".

Fudds have no concern about banning things they don't understand or don't own. They never understood that little part in the Second Amendment that says "shall not be infringed."

They read that and think "that means I can get a license (permission) from the government to hunt muh couple a white tails each year... and catch me some fish. As long as I have, and give them, my social security number..."

I watched an NRA Board Member say in a news interview you don't need anymore than 5 shots in a rifle, so "dem high kerpassity clipses outta be illegal."
