Do you favor banning "bump stock" devices? (Which enable a semi-auto be used almost like an auto) [View all]


Gunman had a 'bump-stock' device that could speed fire
The gunman who unleashed hundreds of rounds of gunfire on a crowd of concertgoers in Las Vegas had two "bump-stock" devices.
The devices could have converted semi-automatic firearms into fully automatic ones, officials said.
A semi-automatic weapon requires one trigger pull for each round fired. With a fully automatic firearm, one trigger pull can unleash continuous rounds until the magazine is empty.

you don't seem to think it's ok to ban it simply on the basis of how fast and much it can fire CreekDog Oct 2017 #15
