Massachusetts’ law prohibiting the possession and sale of some semiautomatic weapons commonly used in mass shootings is acceptable under a recent change to Second Amendment precedent from the US Supreme Court, a federal judge said Thursday.
Bump stocks increase fire rate by sacrificing any ability to aim the gun with sights. An aimed 22 rifle can be more deadly at range than an AR with a bump stock. A stock AR is more effective at killing than a bump stock equipped AR in the vast majority of situations.
Basically, bump stocks are a kind of useless thing to focus on. The vast majority of gun owners prefer a stock AR over one with a bump stock. The real issue that should be focused on is capacity. Having to reload throws a big wrench in the rate of fire thing you are talking about.
You don’t think there’s a difference between a weapon that can spray hundreds bullets in less than a minute vs. one that can’t?
Because any AR-15 with a bump stock can do that.
This is an argument for banning all guns.
Fun: Cars, hamburgers, alcohol, COVID all killed more people in the last few years than guns, statistically speaking…
