BOISE, Idaho – Bump stocks — the attachment used by the killer during the 2017 Las Vegas massacre to make his weapons fire rapidly like machine guns — will become illegal in the U.S. next week.
It's the only major gun restriction imposed by the federal government in the past few years.
Owners of the devices are anxiously watching the legal wrangling and wondering what to do. Their options are to destroy the devices, turn them over to federal authorities or risk getting caught and face a felony.
Federal authorities have estimated there may be as many as 500,000 in circulation.
Either hand them over like pussies, or stand your ground and smoke 'em if you got 'em.

Bump stocks are garbage anyway. They’re best suited for rednecks who want to shoot up car doors in the backyard. Just fucking learn to aim. Also they can fuck up some rifles.
You will never need to defend against an attacking infantry squad. You don’t need automatic or burst fire.
If after all they’re all gone you still have an irresistible urge to go in the back yard and shoot up a car door just fucking make one out of a 2x4 or learn to limpwrist your rifle. If you know anything about firearms you can make nearly any of them bump fire with your own two hands.

Don't hand them over. I know many gun owners who own these. Many who didn't, went out and managed to purchase one. I've talked to many gun shops and they have all said privately that they will not be handing theirs over. This is looking to be like New Jersey all over again. No serious gun owners is going to turn theirs in. I've interviewed several police officials and they all mentioned that they will not be cooperating with the federal gov't in this ban and will only confiscate and assist prosecution if the bump stock us used in the commission of a crime. DO NOT HAND YOURS OVER. Wait for them to come take it by force and sue their asses. We're going to win this. The NRA officials have abandoned gun owners on this issue and they are being dealt with through the organization itself. I'm not sure Trump's game is here, but I don't appreciate his decision and many other don't either. I do not believe Trump is pro second amendment, I believe he only says he is because he ran on the republican ticket and needed the votes. I support the president is pretty much everything else other than his support for Israel and swamp critters.

Peeps can modify it themselves to make it auto fire. Before youtube banned all the junk on it I think one guy used some string.
With the way the world's going I could see why a person would keep bump stocks. But damn would the ammo get expensive fast. Banning them with just make the already massive black market grow even more here, so it's not stopping anybody.

We should cut a deal with liberals, they can ban bump stocks to save lives, in exchange for ban abortion to save more lives! It can happen…
