@oralloy,
Bump stocks are useless without a semi-automatic to put them on. Bump stocks won’t fire one single bullet by themselves. Bump stocks are only a mechanism that makes a semi-automatic fire faster than it otherwise would. Just like the mechanism that makes an assault weapon capable of firing at a 900 rounds per minute rate if one mechanism can be banned it is just as easy to ban the other mechanism. There is no reason to fire 900 rounds to kill a deer or even an intruder. You only need that kind of fire power to commit mass murder.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Assault weapons are the problem, after bump stocks are banned other mechanisms will be designed that does the same thing because it simply exploits the existing design capacity of the assault weapon.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Assault weapons designed to fire 900 rounds a minute are the problem.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Let’s say you can only pull the trigger at half of the design rate of assault weapon. That is still at a rate of 450 rounds a minute. That’s still good enough to kill twenty school kids.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
A pistol grip is what is needed with an assault weapon because you can just strafe a crowd. You are not going to have to aim when you are firing enough rounds you simply watch were the rounds are hitting. Assault weapons and pistol grips complement each other.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Semi-automatic assault weapons can fire as fast as you can pull the trigger.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Assault weapons are designed to kill large number of people and pistol grips enhance that ability.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Assault weapons make the mass murder and pistol grip makes it much easier to hold.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
A locked door can really ruin a mass murder’s day. Then the shooter becomes the target.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Somehow, I don’t think Machine Kelly ever robbed a bank with his machine gun held up to his shoulder. It was always held at his waist. Pistol grips made that possible.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
It seems that mass murders can kill 49 people without taking aim. Taking aim takes time and that is the one thing that a mass murder doesn’t have. If you were deer hunting do you think the deer would stand still and wait to be shot. If you wanted to kill a herd of deer you would want to fire as many rounds as possible as fast as possible.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Did you ever see anyone strafe a crowd with a gun at their shoulder? Mass murders hold the gun by the pistol grip for a reason.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The only mass murder done with a bump stock was Las Vegas the others were done with assault weapons for the most part.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
There is no need to try to aim an assault weapon and it would be impossible to aim the way they are held.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Not one mass murder has ever chosen to use the traditional rifle model of the AR-15.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Bombs may only kill a few people or in some cases depending on where they land, they may not kill anyone but assault weapons continue to kill hundreds who are not at war with anyone.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
If you determine horrible by the numbers far more people are killed in America with assault weapons then were killed in Syria by chemical weapons. You can only be so dead.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The definition of weapons of mass destruction should have been updated when assault weapons were invented.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Chemical weapons kill only people and do not destroy building or other structures. They are considered weapons of mass destruction because of the number of people killed.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The pistol grips enhance the ability to kill large numbers of people.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
That would depend on how much explosives the missiles held.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
An explosion can send swords a long-ways.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
People for the most part are faithful followers of PLR (path of least resistance) if all they have access is to a single shot rifle, they will give up on their fantasy of mass murder.
