Senator Feinstein is introducing a Bill to ban Bump Fire and Trigger Cranks.
I am okay with this, but it should be combined with some pro-2A stuff like national concealed carry and allowing the shipment of handguns and ammo through the Post Office.
Yes, being educated on the subject is key.
SlideFire does not at all not fit the definition of an automatic weapon. With the SlideFire installed, for every single discharge the trigger still must be pressed. That has been explained more than once in this thread.
The SlideFire stock has no automatically functioning mechanical parts or springs and performs no automatic mechanical function when installed. The ATF found it to simply be a firearm part and not regulated as a firearm by the GCA or NFA.
As far as background... here is the ATF letter of June 2010 on the subject.

How long until they impose the same tax on purchasing a standard firearm?
Its a cave in that is for sure. But at least I hope they allow people to keep them and register them under NFA even if they do not allow anymore in the pool. So many of our own ranks are cave in collaborators. I have known many who let their NRA membership go because they did not back banning the AR15 and AKs back in 94. We won because we stuck together for the most part and voted out the sell outs.
Education is key, for bump fire to work you must keep the trigger
depressed.
We have people wanting to argue over something they know
nothing about.
What are you guys willing to give up the next time around?
It wasn't just Bill Ruger.
Significant portions of GCA 1968 were brought to us and fully supported by our very own American gun companies. As an industry, they saw the GCA 68 importation restrictions as a way to reduce competition and improve their market share - and lobbied accordingly.
...(blah, blah, blah)...when you're bump firing the risk of an out of battery detonation is too much to me...(blah, blah, blah)...
Like it or not, bump stocks will likely end up on the chopping block. I just hope we can manage to get something out of the deal. Complete removal of all NFA fees would work for me. I can live with the extra hassle in terms of regulating them, but that unconstitutional tax really doesn't sit well with me. How long until they impose the same tax on purchasing a standard firearm? Just a bad precedent to let stand in my opinion.
Here is another point, how long before someone puts out the file to 3d print a bump fire stock?How do you stop that?
