The differential cost of manufacturing a semi-automatic and automatic AR-15 pattern rifle is very small. Revoke the laws that restrict the manufacture, sale and possession of the the automatic version and there will be no need for bump stocks. The money spent on a bump stock would be better spent on upgrading from a semi-automatic to an automatic rifle.
I had to look up bump fire triggers, as I had never heard that term before.
Still seems legal under current regulations, as the trigger is depressed for each shot.
Feinstein is a loon. I feel very sad for the residents of California, who only have her and Boxer to represent them in the US Senate. I wonder how she gets reelected? Does California have voter registration booths in cemeteries, like Chicago?
Feinstein (and McCarthy) are geting desperate to establish their 'heritage' in the form of an AW Ban - or at least a magazine ban - as both are getting closer and closer to the Gates of Hell.
Either will settle for anything 'anti-gun' they can achieve before the Grim Reaper harvests the souls they have long ago sold to him.
What he will do when it is found that they bilked him because they have no souls ... is too terrible to contemplate!
First, it's quite arguable that select fire is "safer" than slide fire stocks. But aside from that, SCOTUS has already DECIDED this issue. Heller itself HINGED on the notion that it was an infringement to claim that banning this class of weapons while saying another class was allowed. That test was long gun versus handgun, but the premise is exactly the same.
It does not pass muster to ban entire classes of weapons. What does government call select fire arms? Oh yeah CLASS three.
What is the very premise upon which sawed off shotguns are banned and have been for so long? Oh yeah - usefulness in the military conflict arena. What is most useful and most commonly chosen in that context? Ummm, SELECT FIRE! Thus it is literally IMPOSSIBLE to claim select fire is not protected.
So why would DiFi tout a semi ban? Why rehash what expired? I submit they ALL want to keep the campaign parameters there EVEN if they lose because even a loss in that mix comes together as a win - here's why-
If the conversation becomes about automatics, select fire then they truly lose all the marbles. There is no way to justify the GCA post Heller AND EVERY POLITICIAN DAMN WELL KNOWS IT!!!
The only way they "win" now is to divert attention away from the asking of the correct question. Keeping the spotlight on semis then avoids the asking of the proper question.
Scalia knows it too and alludes to it. Scope? Yeah, when actually before the court and on the actual merits, it will be tough to justify even a RPG ban (can you say cannon???).
Know this. We will not arrive at the proper answer until we learn to ask the proper question.

funny thing is, if you know how to really run an AR-15 platform, you don't need a bump-stock to fire it like it has one
Do it all the time
out law my skill Frankinstein
but come and do it yourself
