    Yup, politics as usual. Can't repeal Obozo care, but they can disarm the law abiding citizen and leave criminals alone!

    GOP Rep Supports Gun Control for Bump Stocks

    Rep. Kevin Yoder (R-KS) used an October 5 press release to announce his support for gun control for bump stocks.

    His announcement was tweeted by KCTV’s Emily Sinovic with the hashtag #GunControl.

    In the announcement, Yoder inaccurately claims bump stocks “convert legal firearms into an automatic weapon.” In actuality, the ATF approved bump stocks in 2010 because they do not convert semiautomatics into full auto. Rick Vasquez, former acting chief of the Firearms Technology Branch of the ATF, told USA Today that bump stocks were legalized because they are “an accessory, not a conversion device.”

    IMO a bump stock is a worthless gimmick that only succeeds in wasting ammo. I'm almost surprised that ammo manufacturers don't give them away for free. Nonetheless I do not support any legislation making it harder for these to buy.

    Although I expect to see them (bump stocks) as the sacrificial lamb in this round of calls for more gun control, I do not believe more regulation is going to make any headway into solving the problem. The problem lives in the space between an persons ears and whether the instrument is a truck, an airplane, a 1958 Buick Road Master, or an AR15 with an attached bump stock, No law will stop a deranged or misdirected person from committing another senseless act of violence. Remove Evil from the world and you will have eliminated the problem. Maybe they should just outlaw Evil?

    This is bs.
    They all need to be voted out if it passes. They couldn't repeal Obama care but they pass useless garbage their voters don't want.

    While Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) presents her latest piece of gun control legislation as narrowly focused on bump stocks, the reality is that the language of the bill includes bans on other firearm accessories too.

    The problem is when you give up one thing, they come back later demanding everything.

    Stepping stones. Give them the first, eventually they take it all.

    I didn't even know these stupid things existed. I prefer aiming and conserving ammo.
