bump stocks are fun, and can aid in producing "suppressive" fire, but I'll take on-target "tap, tap" all day everyday over auto fire or simulated auto fire. not that a .223 is all that hard to control, but still slide stocks are fairly useless.

So in the videos on youtube that i see where it looks like full auto these guys are pulling the trigger each time?

From what I have seen and know about these bump stocks, I would almost prefer for a madman to have that and one of those ridiculous 100 round mags rather than a regular semi auto with a 10/20/30 rd Pmag. I would wager that he couldn't hit much of what he was aiming at and anything over 30 rounds is fairly prone to malfunctioning. See the theater shooting for evidence of that one.

Yes. For each shot the trigger is pulled. Instead of your finger moving to pull the trigger think of it as the trigger moving into your finger. The weapons recoil is manipulated to accomplish this.

Gunsmoke was on the local news again tonight - I was not paying attention to the channel. They were talking about what guns 'could be banned'. Nothing informative except the news guy gave FBI stats as to how many violent crimes actually involved "assault rifles" (virtually none by his stats).

I've never used a SlideFire stock, or whatever they're called, but the videos on their website make it look like the rifle is pretty controllable and aimable. The slide moves back and forth, while your finger presses on a part of the stock, not the trigger. You push the rifle forward and it makes your finger contact the trigger, and recoil makes it bounce back and forth, firing repeatedly and fast, but still one trigger pull per shot.

I'd certainly NOT want to hear about someone using one of those in another damn shooting. That's just what we need. It's not full-auto fire, but damn close to it, and if you can aim and control it? You could do a lot of damage, and with normal 30 rd. mags. If that asshole at the Aurora theater had one of those and a bunch of P-Mags taped together in pairs, it could have been far worse. Especially where the people were trying to get out of the exits.

I'll not be surprised one bit to see those outlawed in the near future.

He went full tourettes when he said "clips".

I think its "full retard."

You just described this whole situation, nothing sums it up better.
