Bump stocks and more.

[Skip]

This political crap is getting totally out of control. I do not have a bump stock nor do I have any interest in one of these “shell wasters” but I fail to understand how there can be hundreds or perhaps thousands of the bump stocks actually in use and all went well until just one evil/nut case shoots up the Las Vegas concert. After that one single act, these stocks are soon going to be totally banned with no grandfather clause for relief of those already out in circulation. I moved from Colorado about two and half years ago to Illinois. Yes, we have some atrocious firearms laws here too but down in the Illinois Capitol today our snowflake legislators are working on bills to ban all so called “assault weapons” and high capacity magazines over ten rounds. Also being banned (if it also passes) is all .50 BMG rilfles and ALL rounds of .50 BMG ammo. I am not aware of any .50 BMG Firearms being involved in any crimes but apparent the Illinois snowflakes feel that this caliber might some day cause a problem so just ban them too. With all this shit going on in this State and on the Federal level, I feel that since my time above the sod is getting pretty limited (because my coming up on 82 years of age) might not be so bad but you younger firearms enthusiasts have some mighty rough times ahead.

Agree 100%. And the language to ban bump stocks will include "increased rate of fire" and anything that "turns a semi-automatic into a machine gun." Slippery slope.

The silver lining is that a lot of guns owners are realizing we are in the same boat. There is no running from this. Exactly why I donated to fight NYSafe Act. Anyone who thought that bullshit is geographically constrained wasn't thinking.
