    You’re arguing with an anti-gun audience that knows nothing about any of this. All they know is, “Guns bad!” (Wait till they find out about the shoestring conversion kit.)

    Tell you what guys: Grab an AR-15 with a bump stock and I’ll square off with mine, which is, well, stock. Good luck.

    It was a poorly written ruling with poor reasoning. If y’all want to bitch, bitch at Congress to create a solid definition of “machine gun” that’s a little newer than the 1930s. I’d be right behind it.

    Or, we could forget the whole notion of “law” and “precedent”, just go with “feels”. (Which seems to be lemmy’s take on anything more complex than jaywalking.)

      Former infantry here.

      Guns should only be used by trained professionals who know not to pull the trigger.

      The AR-15 is a tool for people who can’t aim well.

      The only purpose for a bump-stock is to turn murder into mass-murder. It has no other purpose.

      ‘Till’ is a cash-drawer or a ploughing action.
