"As a firearms owner myself, there’s no legitimate use for a bump stock – not for self defense, not in a law enforcement context, not even in military applications … but what they are tailor made for is a mass shooting.
There’s lots of non-legitimate ways people use guns. For example, I’ve only ever shot them for fun. I imagine being able to have a simulated machine gun experience without all the red tape is pretty fun.
However, we outlawed three-wheeled ATVs despite them being fun so it’s not an argument.

If you want to fire a machine gun, go to a range that has a machine gun.
There’s plenty of ranges that you can rent much more fun automatic weapons, and really the red tape isn’t that bad for that.
Bump stocks legitimately suck.
I have no problem with regular people having the ability to shoot machine guns or similar auto-fire weapons but for God’s sake license that shit!
