      Okay, if it doesn't do anything, why do you have a problem with banning it?

      If it doesnt change anything, why ban it? Its just one more step toward banning other things or types of guns.

      Slippery slope is a fallacy for a reason. Banning one thing in no way requires banning others. (I favor this ban, oppose many others).

      Either way. You still didn't answer my question. If it changes absolutely nothing, why ban it? Just to feel good about yourself?

      Many (including the LV shooter) disagree with the claim that it does nothing. Ban to make it harder for people like him to shoot as fast.

      Ignorant people that have never used one or don't know anything about guns disagree

      Why do you think LV shooter used bump stock then?

      Who knows, maybe he just happened to have it. And really, at 350~ yards, regular semi auto would have been more effective.

      More accurate yes, but not an issue when firing into large dense crowd. He installed the stock onto multiple rifles. He thought they helped.

          The only thing passing more laws will do is restrict good, law abiding citizens who aren't going to go out and murder people to begin with

          Just like how they consistently get their hands on heroine, even though that's been illegal for a bit.

          And anyone who can get their hands on a 3D printer can just make one themselves. Criminals will find a way, and ignore laws...

          The other thing is that he passed all the background checks, so he could have just gone and gotten a real full auto.

          And even without bump firing, you could pull the trigger plenty fast.

          That shit shakes all over the place. Your sights shake all over the place. Making it almost impossible to shoot with any accuracy.
