    Bumpstocks - for me, meh. Didn't even know they existed before Las Vegas concert shootings and are just a way to make a lot of noise with little accuracy potential. One well placed single round will do the job for that target. If its charging mobs, high capacity shotguns and/or flamethrowers is what I want.

    I do take your point though - giving in just a little only encourages them to press on. At the very least, CHL 50 state reciprocity should have been in the same legislation as bumpstocks. Give something to get something - give the gun banners something to worry about in the future.

      There was no legislation at the federal level. It was just Mr Second Amendment Defender telling ATF to declare them contraband s'il vous plait.

      I'm still seething about reciprocity. We had it. All we needed to do was to effectively explain to the "cold dead hands" part of the pro-gun side that fix-NICS wasn't what GOA said it was.

      We failed and didn't get reciprocity. Got the fix-NICS that the Pratts were so up in arms about though.
