Bump Fire Stocks
Thoughts:
1) There has been a ban on sales of new, fully-automatic firearms ("machine guns") since 1986. That leaves some loopholes (can still buy them if they were manufactured before then, but that demand plus scarcity makes them expensive, etc.) but in general, there isn't a whole lot of uproar over that 20-year-old ban.
2) These bump-fire stocks don't technically convert a firearm into fully-automatic; the trigger is still being pulled 1 time for each bullet that comes out (semi-automatic).
3) However, they easily allow for rates of fire (bullets per minute/second) comparable to fully-automatic weapons. So, I think an unbiased and reasonable person would say that while a firearm equipped with one of these does not violate the letter of the ban on fully-automatic firearms, it does quite reasonably violate the spirit of that ban.
4) Doing anything to correct that discrepancy will require updated laws. Updating the law requires a legislature that generally supports the update and a president that agrees, or a legislature that overwhelmingly supports the update and can override a presidential veto.
5) None of that exists at the moment in the US. So, it is (perhaps coldly) logical to say that these bump-fire stocks will not be banned as an extension to the 1986 ban on full-auto firearms, at least not in the short term.
6) However, before quietly accepting that, it is worth noting that political fallout amongst those individuals in the legislature that refuse to consider updating the law is a very real possibility. Plenty of people, even on the right, even plenty of gun nuts, say that they are in favor of some degree of "common sense" gun control. Pointing out that bump-fire stocks essentially circumvent the already in-place ban on fully-automatic firearms seems like a good way to test that professed adherence to common sense.
7) Get that word out there, and pretty importantly, try to do it in a way that is as respectful towards the average "gun nut" as possible. Their minds can be swayed. Hunters, sportsmen, and even people that have guns for self defense can be persuaded with reason -- they can still do their thing even without bump-fire stocks, just like they can do their thing without fully-automatic firearms. Congresscritters probably can't be convinced, because they've already been
bribed"persuaded" with campaign donations, NRA lobbyists, etc.So, don't preach to the choir. Try to convince the people that do actually own guns. The good news? You've got "common sense" on your side.

Mother Of The Year
That is an ex fish. It has gone to join the choir invisible.
It is not just shagged out following a prolonged swim.
That parrot is not dead, it's resting.

Thank you! Learning is hard.
British Farmer's Son Shocks Meat Farmer Dad with this video
Hear hear! I was wondering how this would fucking "shock" vegans. Sounds more like preaching to the choir.
Can we keep the sift clean of click bait titles.
Meanwhile, in Canada...
Tim Horton's Barber Shop Choir?!
Last Week Tonight with John Oliver: Abortion Laws
Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)
Gee, that's a bit harsh. Look, I completely disagree with what this guy is saying too. But you have to admit he represents the views of a sizeable portion of the American public.
Is it really better to chuck him out and risk becoming a groupthink choir? I know we've done it before, and there is definitely a line that can be crossed - but I'd rather not ban someone out just because he's saying what 60% of the US South thinks too.
yes, moderation can work here, but it takes effort.
Don't see that here, just a lot of self congratulation for anniversaries while the community slowly rots
