the Trump Administration announced on Tuesday that it has banned bump stocks. Existing owners have 90 days to dispose of them. They will be illegal in March 2019.

Yay....

if I didn't become a convert to most of the CBid world's belief that additional gun control laws will not stop mass shootings, this might be a genuine cause for celebration...gee, thanks guys...

...even Trump's supporters are not saying anything...poor guy...

****'s taking away my 2nd amendment.

The ATF has already ruled and this has now ALREADY been appealed with a lawsuit so buckle up. This is as dumb as bump stocks themselves which are really only good for wasting ammo.

Anyone who has their head not firmly placed in their Victor knows you can do a few different things that work just as well.

bummer.
I thought he was gonna improve my 401K

BTW they don’t work on a bipod or a Tripod so these were NOT used in Vegas.

Hey look... Z's gone way down the crazy rabbit hole.

You're gonna have to prove a comment like that, since every media outlet identifies them as being used in Vegas.

now you tell me.

Frankie Tripod

I'm not sure how this ban helps him politically. He did order to pull out of Syria today. IMO...maybe the best thing he's done in office.

dayum...he's trying to be Presidential...while being stuck in quicksand...some small corner of my compassion for humanity causes me to have some sympathy for the dude...and yet I can't even get a con here to give him a hoo-rah...

I have to prove a CRAZY CONSPIRACY that an item THAT WILL NOT WORK ON A BIPOD OR TRIPOD? They have never released a comprehensive report......and I AM CRAZY.....no. That makes you a fool. There were PHOTOS is an AR with a bumpstock. There were also many weapons in that room that were never used. Both weapons photographed at the windows HAD BIPODS. I’m not reaching at all actually.....you are. But I think everyone outside your right 4 man circle jerk knows that. Also even an experienced shooter is NOT going to have a consistent rate of fire with a bumpstock. But I’m SURE YOU have actually used one right? And actually shot a fully automatic rifle right?

Z, I had not given this any thought and assumed that the explanation we were given of bump stocks being used in the Las Vegas shooting was true. Obviously I have limited knowledge on the subject. Could you give a short explanation on why a bump stock will not work with a bipod or tripod? Thank you in advance.

audio recordings of the shooting sure sounded like auto fire...don't know how many bullets were fired, estimates are more than 1,100, but the sumbitch would have had a very tired trigger finger after only a few clips if he was shooting semi-auto...the shooting lasted for 7-10 minutes...I can't dry fire that long, but I aint trained...

Listen to the the rhythm on the rate of fire, for it to be VERY consistent is damn near impossible with a bump stock.

Spey, it’s a piece of plastic from the stock that goes near the trigger. It’s there to keep your finger anchored in one place while the movement of the rifle moves the trigger so that it “bumps” your trigger finger. You can actually replicate this if you know how to handle a rifle properly, or you can do it with a RUBBERBAND......

Now if the rifle has a bipod or tripod it is IMPOSSIBLE for the rifle to MOVE enough for the bump function to work. It’s called SCIENCE Victor, you know that stuff you claim is sacrosanct?!!!

Spey bs article but a great image

For the duration of time in Vegas, to have a consistent rate of fire with a bumpstock is beyond unlikely. Bullets were shot out of that room that did kill people.

Ahh there's that super rational behavior from z.

Yeah... News reports from a huge number of sources say he used one. A very quick search of whether a bump stock will work with a bipod results in "yes, but not as effectively as without a bipod"... And I'm supposed to believe your ranting instead?

Yes z I read there is an issue with the weapon being able to shift to "bump" the trigger. But there are people who say it would work... Then there's you saying it wouldn't. ... And honestly... If I had to say who had more credibility (between a random internet person and you) I'd go with the random internet person. You've already proven to be susceptible to stupid conspiracy theories.

Thank you, now I follow what you are saying. What has been generally reported as the truth seems rather impossible.

Did those great sources specifically discuss firing from a raised position in a building???

I’ll hold my breath.

Again.......rate of fire......listen to the recordings......can you get a bumpstock to periodically function on a bipod? Maybe firing FLAT. NOT from a raised position....
