Are firearm accessories like this really necessary?

Necessary? Hell, no! That said, who decided that they get to determine what anyone gets to have because it's "not needed?"
My wife keeps asking me why I "need" as many guns as I have. I tell her that I don't understand the question. I could "make do" with fewer guns, but I don't have to.

In all three a single branch of the government has ultimate control. Persons can be detained indefinitly on charges. I agree its not Cambodia or Cuba or ShriLanka, but it isn't Kansas either, Toto.
You're right, but why give them more grist for the mill. I don't think you should run from a fight, but why exacerbate the issue. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you have to.

Care to compare their "hate speech" laws and ours?
What happens to a woman in Colchester who protects herself from a rapist with a gun as opposed to Cleveland?

Now you are in dangerous territory. The founders made sure that government could not rule our lives in order to make us miserable. But constitutional guarantees only work vis a vie government actions. Wives derive their authority from a higher source.
Personally, I made a deal, she doesn't look in the safe. I don't look in her closet.

You can't run from this fight. You can only stand and fight or surrender.
Merely failing to meekly submit "exacerbates" the situation.
The other side operates by Lenin's rules, submit absolutely or be destroyed.

In Japan you can be arrested and held for days before being charged, you can then be held INDEFINITLY while the government investigates the crime.
In England and Australia you may be tried for a crime without being permitted to be present or speak on your own behalf. You may be charged with violating SECRET regulations. Truth is not a defense as it can be in the US. There is no reasonable person standard. Ex post facto laws are permitted.
In all three the right to an attorney is limited, and the government is not
compelled to provide one.
You are better off being #×÷+%= in Mississippi in 1960.
(This is not possible here because we have an independent Judiciary.)

CAJUNLAWYER posted a link to an article a couple days ago about why your right wing friend isn't supporting gun control after the Vegas shootings. There were six points, and one of them was:
"Your friend really, truly, absolutely doesn't care about the laws in other countries . . . "
That's me . . .
"Your friend really, truly, absolutely doesn't care about the laws in other countries . . . "
That's me . . .
Just to change up the tone a bit, I recieved an email form SlideFire right here in good ol Texas that they are still fulfilling orders but that they are not taking orders. Their shipping is backlogged but they are getting orders out and those orders that were placed prior to them shutting down the order capabilities of their website will be shipping in the next couple of weeks......so whether someone needs one of these the free market continues to work for now. We may not all agree on where we stand on this issue but I am in support of the small business so I voted with my dollars on this one. Now back to your regular programming.....discussion

Getting back to the OP for just a moment....
As far as the OPs example of large shotgun magazines, is there really any grist? 99.9% of folks have never seen one nor have a clue what it might be. You could hand one of those XRAILs to Nancy Pelosi and she'd think it was a custom flower vase.
To suggest that these type of things are creating a significant image problem for gun owners among the general public is something I think suggests more about an individual gun owner's missionary position view of guns than it does anything else.
Agreed, Phil. Think about how many people knew about bump stocks before Vegas, and how many know about bump stocks after Vegas . . .

I think we've just about covered all the bases here from Germany to Cambodia and back...
