Instead of fighting over some gimmick like a bump stock, fight over the fact that the government unconstitutionally abridged your second amendment with respect to full-auto.
There is a generally unrecognized negative side affect to the 1934 Firearms Act. Prior to that point there were hundreds and hundreds of firearm makers and innovators. With the wide diversity of people building guns we got great innovations. The Garand M1 Action, the Johnson Automatic Rifle, and of course John Browning. But once that law went into affect it drove most the gun producers out of business and the production was stove piped by the government with a few large manufacturers surviving. The unintended consequence was innovation died, group think set in.
In the last 20 years there has been more innovation in small arms than the 50 years that preceeded it. Because with the advent of cheap production technology, CNC, etc. We once again have hundreds and hundreds of producers. These Bump Stocks, were an innovation, if we step all over these inventive people, innovation will die again.
That's my main problem with it.
