    A bump stock is very simple, mechanically. Some hobbyists have achieved the same effect with simple homemade devices — even a rubber band.https://www.npr.org/2018/09/26/650454299/the-politics-of-bump-stocks-one-year-after-las-vegas-shooting?utm_source=twitter.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=npr&utm_term=nprnews&utm_content=20180926 …

        I can do it with my belt loops and with a WW2 era M1 Garand. The bump stock ban is one of the most retarded knee jerk legislations ever produced.

        Still what does accuracy matter? Why are you moving the goal post? I thought bump stocks were an objectively evil feature no matter the form they come in because i can as per the article shoulder fire bumb my m1 also with a few strings, a stick and a metal rod so whats your point

        Don't even need that. Can do it with just a belt loop.

        "A bump stock is a simple device that attaches to semi-automatic rifles — which normally shoot one round per trigger-pull..." - And after the attachment of a bump stock, they STILL fire one round per pull of the trigger...

        "...to speed up the firing rate by harnessing the gun's recoil to "bump" the trigger faster than the shooter would be able to with his or her finger." - Not true. I can pull the trigger as fast or faster than a bumpstock can assist. That's why a ban is useless.

        I’d rather everyone argue about bump-stocks because that means the Gun stuff I like isn’t in danger of being outlawed.

        In a time when gun violence is at an all time high, giving dummies a how to guide isn't exactly helpful. Again proving how out of touch you are.

        Make no mistake: Bump stocks are a RESULT of gun control. If the NFA registry weren't closed to new machine guns, bump stocks literally wouldn't exist, there'd be no market for them. Gun control created this.

        And if federal regulations didn't prohibit private possession of refined uranium and nuclear weapons, people wouldn't need to own guns.

        This illustrates the importance of regulating high-capacity magazines and the purchases of ammunition.

        other items that also work to bumpfire: a stick, a thumb, and a belt loop.
