1. Republicans want to capture the judiciary

Just like Hitler did.

Is a bump stock necessary for the security of a free state? Silly me for asking.

However does a Republican shit on the constitution at every opportunity?

3. We already have a record number of mass shootings this year, this automatic shooting device can kill even more at once

And that would be the one and only thing that it's useful for.

2. It's against the law to modify a gun to shoot full auto

How are bump stocks any different. So it’s an external modication? Still altering how the gun shoots.

4. Excellent point! And these illegal gun modifications are only designed to kill more humans at once

5. Because the law defines a machine gun in a specific way

And bumpstocks don't meet that definition. The gun is still firing semi automaticlly, just really fast. They definitely need to be banned, but doing so would require a new law.
