Active shooter at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas...

>200 ft?

2000 feet = 667 feet = 610 meters = drop of about 13 feet, give or take depending on load, when zeroed at 100 yards.

Most accessories aren't specifically meant to get around existing laws. The bumpfire system is unique.

sig brace? (et al)

binary triggers?

Sig brace is similar... it's another gray area, probably not used how it's supposed to be. Though I can't see it being a huge priority, as it doesn't necessarily make the gun a bigger threat.

Ol' Newt Gingrich speaks out....
“There is a new technology, which is relatively cheap, that enables you to take a semiautomatic weapon and convert it into an automatic weapon, which is illegal,” Mr. Gingrich said.

Hmmm, another politician speaking out on a subject that he knows little about.
I, for one, am shocked.

 

[Dirtebiker]

You mean like New Orleans? Or Chicago? Or New York City?

Maybe it is because we pay attention and stuff?

Didn't they also confiscate guns in Boston after the bombing?

 

[Denny347]

I have used them. I do not like them.

Heck, I've used REAL full-auto rifles and did not like them. Subguns and belt fed, I get. Rifles, waste of ammo.

 

[Alpo]

This is what they think of us.

And Nancy should take singing lessons. No one has paid attention to her for 4 decades. Scratch that: 5 decades. Boots came out in 1966

 

[Dirtebiker]

Probably should check out FBI crime statistics before making claims.

And abortion numbers!

All I am seeing is "I don't really know what one of them there bump stocks are, but they convert a gun into a machine gun". Might need to show them you can bump fire without a slide fire stock. Let's hope they don't hear about binary triggers.

Ultimately setting a precedent that we can ban accessories that have already been approved by the ATF is a bad thing for gun owners and leads to a slippery slope even if you don't care about bumpfire stocks.

 

[Dirtebiker]

If there were no bump fire stocks. Could he have murdered as many people. Demand an honest answer.

There are only two possible. 1) Yes. 2) I don't know.

Of course he could have murdered many, many more!

I am shocked at the number of Veteran's who come in here and tell me they kept their M4 on "semi auto" most of the time they were overseas....They said they would often switch to 3 shot burst when providing cover fire....Not all of course but enough told me that that it made me think a little.....

USVI Governor signed a confiscation order prior to Irma. Don't think the went around with a collection box, but they do have a registry, so know who has what.

When I carried the M16A1, I hardly ever switched it over to full auto. I kept the M60 on full auto most of the time.

Caveat- never in combat.

 

[Dirtebiker]

I find this difficult to believe. Shooter was able to keep controlled sustained fire, look down his sights (apparently), and target a specific crowd. If he had used a belt loop bump, I don't think he would be near as effective. Comparing a finger and a belt loop to a dedicated bump fire system that allows one to shoot from the shoulder, honestly, is ridiculous.

There are other ways to fire quickly!

 

[Route 45]

I kept the M60 on full auto most of the time.

I don't remember them having a semi-auto setting, but my memory is kinda fuzzy. It's been a couple of decades. And them some.

I'm shocked by the drift I'm seeing that amounts to "I don't have one" or "I don't like them" and so, I'm ok with doing yet another one-way "compromise" to appease the barking hounds demanding common sense solutions in a number of gun people.

This is another Lucy and Charlie Brown episode of Charlie trying to kick the football...if we seriously believe there'll be any good faith trading here is delusional.

Yeah. I had 2 M60 crews. I don't remember a semi- setting. But it has been over 45 years.

Try holding on to an M-14 or G-3 on full auto, unless you are on top of the target you won't hit it. BAR is another matter it's pretty heavy and is in my opinion the most accurate of 30 caliber FA guns.

Me either, but that's back a ways.

NRA believe that bump stocks should have "additional regulations." A bill (GOP-led) may be coming today.
