Gun Control & RKBA
In reply to the discussion: Is this enough? 50+ dead, 200+ wounded. [View all]mackdaddy
(1,640 posts)16. Looked up "Bump fire" stock on youtube. These are a big problem.
Basically it makes it so the trigger on a semi-auto one pull one shot rifle is virtually being pulled at hundreds of times per second. Essentially causing the semi-auto rifle to function like a full auto machine gun. And these things were "approved" by the ATF under the Obama administration. Great.
So these with 100 round "drum" magazines you have a hail of bullets. But the gun gets hot fast and will need to cool down. No problem when you have 20 guns like the LV shooter.
All this can be bought legally, without a waiting period if you pass a background check.
I believe in RKBA but this is crazy shit.
