Bump stocks are useless; they don't have any purpose, sporting or otherwise. All they do is lead people to further scrutinize ARs. Forced reset triggers & binary triggers are going to do the same thing. These exist for one purpose and it is to mimick a fully automatic rifle. I have zero problem with these being regulated by the NFA. You may want to educate yourself on "mimick a fully automatic rifle" as well. They don't, in any capacity do that. If you'd ever fired anything full auto, you'd know better. Please do inform me of their purpose then. The device was made to be a workaround..... Just like pistol braces.

Why does anyone that knows how to shoot to kill, need to spray that much lead in an attempt to kill? If the bump stock is supposed to simulate a full automatic, that you CANNOT control where or how that gun travels is useful, then please explain. I would love to get an AR, but my wife's argument is, that she has seen me shoot and kill what I was aiming at, so why do I need it? I am only asking and do NOT want to create a hate storm, to much of that already in hunting today.

Now you are going after pistol braces... Yeah, those are evil too. They haven't been around long. It's called "Freedom" in case you were wondering.

You seriously cannot come up with any uses for an AR besides shooting a deer from a blind at 80 yards? Really? How about if you are calling coyotes and have 8 of them running in to stand at once? How about if you are spotting and stalking 20 hogs out on a fresh plowed field while they are tearing it up, and need to lay down as many as you can before they exit stage left? How about if a gang of thugs decide they want to come past you and your H&R single shot at 2am and get to your wife, kids, and personal belongings, and the Police are only 15 minutes away? Reality bites. But you need to take the blinders off.

Dumping an AR mag has gone from $6.00 per mag to basically tossing a $20 bill on the ground. High roller thread.

I almost bought one at one point, just to have fun with. Let the kids burn up a bunch of ammo, but didn't. They look fun, but have no real purpose for hunting.

I have a couple of guns that are fun to shoot, but pretty worthless for hunting as well. I still like to shoot them once in a while at the range.

With the exception of just a very few weapons full auto is a waste of time and ammo. Spent some time behind full auto weapons and found out real quick they're only for keeping heads down. I did have the opportunity to shoot a suppressed MP5 and found it to be very controllable in full auto, one of the exceptions. As a novelty item the bump stock is a fun way to spend some time but I don't think I could come up with a poorer way to try and hunt.
Yes! A Weatherby does kill them deader.

What is WRONG with simply doing it the right way? Were that to happen much of what the liberals and some conservatives now call the Law of the Land would be thrown out the window, Roe V Wade is a perfect example.

JMHO- I don't have an AR or a bump stock either one, but the way I figure it, as long as I'm a law abiding citizen, I should be able to have whatever firearms and accessories that I want and can afford. Ammunition and magazines included. I don't scrutinize the legal possessions of another person, and I demand the same from everyone else. I hunt the way I want to hunt and leave the other guy to do his thing the way he wants to. Just don't try to interfere with what I do because it's not what you do
