That nobody but a mass murderer needs, you mean.
So at least some of them aren’t being dumb; they’re just planning ahead.
No. No. No.
The most efficient way of dealing with zombie hordes is to cast “revive.” Amateurs.
Exactly. The BATFE defines automatic weapons as firing more than one shot with each trigger pull. The bump stock just makes it it easy to pull the trigger really fast.
The same definition makes this Gatling gun kit legal. Only one shot per trigger pull.
This will be one of the more difficult items to restrict if they grandfather existing units. It’s an ideal project for a 3D printer and there will be practically no way to tell if I printed it yesterday or a year after the ban goes into effect. I’ve checked and plans are already available.
Pretty much the same reason that the vast majority of gun owners own guns, sometimes dozens of them. That principal reason actually came out quite well in one of the threads in GD: basically, shooting stuff is “fun”, and shooting stuff with a machine gun is even more fun. You can’t ask for a better justification than that for some 30,000 preventable lives lost to guns every year, and a nation awash in guns and shattered by gun violence – because you can’t put a price on fun!
No, the gun nuts get to keep them as long as they don’t tell the wrong people about it, just all their gun-nut friends. This is the whole basis of the huge upsurge in the sales of guns and gun-related paraphernalia whenever there is the slightest hint of regulation. Float a suggestion that maybe deranged psychotics might not be allowed to buy guns, and deranged psychotics come out of the woodwork and line up at gun stores to buy them by the bushel-load.
Of course, all this crap about gun violence in the US is just bad statistics. There is no gun violence in the US, and if there is, it can be solved with more guns. Try to think logically!
No, and it doesn’t matter what kind of zombie. If head shots are needed, I ideally want a rifle for long-range engagement, possibly something with selectable three-round burst, but definitely a semi-auto or bolt action. A semi-auto pistol for close work. Ideally a larger caliber than 5.56 as well.
If head shots aren’t needed, and it’s something more like John Ringo’s Black Tide Rising series (think rage zombies that can be killed like any normal human but no infection danger other than real-world from wounds), I’m going to want a Saiga-12 or the like with 00 buckshot.
If you want precision, use a rifle. If you want automatic rates of fire, get an actual assault rifle. Don’t bounce around a semi-auto like an idiot.
Perhaps the NRA publicly coming out against bump stocks will help with that.
No, it will not. Does anyone for one microsecond believe that the NRA is doing this in support of mitigating gun violence and saving lives? The organization that has been single-handedly responsible for scuttling so much gun control legislation and is largely responsible for leading the US to have the highest rate of gun violence in the civilized world? Every single thing they do is a carefully calculated political strategy intended to bolster their influence and increase gun proliferation. The idea of the NRA as an organization dedicated to gun sportsmanship and gun safety started disappearing as early as the 1930s and vanished entirely by the mid-70s with the solidification of the NRA as a political powerhouse with their “Institute for Legislative Action” and the “Political Victory Fund”.
And then the conservitosphere will start bitching about how Obama’s minions are coming to take away rights.
Well, if by “coming out against” you mean “slap some regulations on”
From your cite:
Granted, it’s weird to see the NRA even calling for more regulations on something. But they aren’t calling for getting rid of them, or to cease selling them, or anything.
YEEEeeeeeeeeah-HAAAAwwwwww! Pew pew pew.
Your faith is misplaced. I would think you knew this by now. Sheesh! 
Guns don’t kill people, bump stocks kill people!!!
So apparently agree-eth the NRA.:rolleyes:
Hell yes.
That’s peculiar. I’d almost expect a team purportedly dedicated to busting myths to have rendered such a question moot by proving that zombies can’t exist.
ETA: btw, his name is Dave BARRY. I really wish you’d fix that. It’s been driving me crazy.
I don’t know if the OP was around for the AWB in the 1990s, but this is not at all unexpected. Prior to the AWB becoming effective, there was all sorts of speculation in high-capacity (>10 rounds) magazines, as well as in many different weapons themselves. I knew people who were buying up pre-ban Glock magazines for $50 each, expecting to re-sell them during the ban for $100+. We all know what happened a few years later.
One of the most curious variations was the (temporary) production of some truly odd firearms, like the Romanian semi-auto AK-47s that would only accept single-column (10-round) magazines. The quality was pretty bad (but being AK-47s, they worked). There was absolutely no point to this except being able to have a weapon that appeared to be a “banned” weapon.
Heck, even Cuban cigars aren’t what they once were (and other cigars have improved a great deal), but look at how many people smuggle them in and flaunt them.
My mistake. Apparently, the shooting in Las Vegas was President Obama’s fault. Good grief.
Our resident Trumpdroids have already pulled that one.
That answers my question:
I spent a minute think to myself “But the Average White Band broke up by the 1990s. The reunited group just wasn’t the same. And what’s that got to do with Bump Stocks?”
Then I finally realized that your “AWB” must mean “Assault Weapons Ban”
