Here's a great view of this girl firing semi auto vs full auto using the bump stock.

You can clearly see her pulling the trigger on semi auto at 3:07. From 3:18 to 3:25 is full auto. That is not semi, it is not rapid semi it is full auto.

Look at all these gun experts

I'm not a legal expert on this, so please excuse me if I'm mistaken about anything in this post.

If there is a ban on automatic assault weapons, why are bump stocks legal? After all, they essentially modify a weapon to fire much the same as a fully automatic assault weapon.

Because it "does not technically alter the trigger mechanism," per the ATF agent who signed off on the recommendation to allow the stock.

Maybe legislators should revisit the legality of the bump stock.

Per what I've read on Twitter, if a bill was written today to just ban bump stocks, it would pass. With a lot of GOP support. TX Rep Bill Flores-R is the one who I believe is drafting a bill to do just that.

Since that was the primary cause for the high number of casualties, and since fully automatic assault weapons are already banned, it would make sense to ban bump stocks that essentially modify a weapon to fire much like a fully automatic assault weapon. But of course, many are going to try to advance a more expansive gun control measure that will get shot down.

This world has gone insane.

Because under the AFT in 2010 (under BHO) made them legal.

Hmmm.

I don't see their logic. If they're going to ban automatic assault weapons, it only makes sense to ban that which can essentially turn a weapon into an automatic assault weapon.

I'm sure they had a reason. I just don't see it.

There is no reasoning with communists.

For the readers, full auto is defined as "more than one projectile fired per single operation of the trigger". The only reason shotguns are allowed by your masters is because they are specifically exempted.

Gatling guns are not classified as " full auto". Why? Only one shot per operation of the trigger (hand crank). Stick an electric motor on the trigger and a la peanut butter sandwiches, its a machine gun.

Nothing more arrogant than people who actually DON'T know what they are talking about, and who WON'T be corrected. I think the Bible term is "fool"?

Anyway, such people usually are little tyrant wanna be's, too. As we can all see. What's hilarious is these types of people will go on and on about muh Consteetooshun but will support violating it left and right. As we can all see. Typical Republican neocon, aka new fangled Trotskyite communist. Seriously, look it up, the neo conservative movement was founded by Trotskyites.

Muh Consteetooshun! Derpa derpa. There oughtta be a law banning something, cuz we all know the answer to evil people is banning things "in or for interstate commerce" that we will twist into being a blank check authorization to control everything, period. Derp, derp! But don't you be "arrogant" cuz muh trigguhs and it makes me feewl weely bad insiwd.

SJWs come in many forms. Know the signs and symptoms. Get treatment immediately.
