Unless you're a criminal, of course. In that case, you won't have any problem at all.

If you are a criminal, it’s going to be harder to steal a bump stock.

By that logic, we shouldn't bother having any laws at all.

But I heard the only way to stop a bad guy with a bump stock was a good guy with a bump stock? I am confused now.

Oh, it is. Unless the good guy with a bump stock is black, in which case you can trust your local Officer Friendly to murder him (and probably get away with it).

Bump Stocks are a lot like gigantic boobs.

Fun to take for a test drive and play with, but you really don't want to take them home for good, and they're utterly (udderly?) impractical to have. They don't really work all that well, they take WAY more work to play with and it's basically just a GIANT waste of time.

BUT, wicked fun to try out once in a blue moon.

Banning them will not save one, single life, ever. What happened was a fluke. They guy was demented. Criminals never did and never will waste their time trying to steal one, in particular since they could make one, literally with a shoelace.

Anything that keeps those freaks a few years longer behind the bars, with or without shooting, is welcome. And I read there will be more space available soon?

Who are "those freaks"? The giant boobs? The only crime ever committed in the entire history of the world, using a bump stock, was the single incident in Las Vegas, for which no one went to jail.

If you meant murderers in general, I'm with you, but murder is already illegal and how you go about it isn't all that much of a factor in sentencing.

If you were convicted of a mass murder it wouldn't matter if you used a machine gun, a bomb or a dull butter knife. You're never getting out.

 

[gunthernehmen]

No, I don't specifically mean murderers; anyone feeling the need to keep weapons, except for those who do it on a professional basis and not in private, fits the bill.

LOL

You're one of those...

Good one. I can tell exactly where that claim comes from, too. Next, you can tell us that a bump stock made the Vegas shooter's rampage less deadly.

This is certain, though. More crimes involving bump stocks will be committed. There will be gun owners who refuse to give up their bump stocks, and we'll have to pry them from their cold, dead fingers.

Since I spontaneously wrote that, I doubt it. It's highly likely (because it is true) that someone else said the same thing, independently, before I did.

A bump stock DOES make a gun less deadly. It reduces the ability the aim it. It's a "fun" way to shoot up soda cans at the range but it an absurd idea for any practical purpose. If that nut job had been taking aimed shots he would have done far more damage.

If there is ever another mass shooting with a bump stock, I'll eat my hat.
