However, I own neither a bump stock nor a semi-auto rifle. That said, your response again shows me that you are not serious about getting these things out of society. You're just in this for the culture war and don't really care about the innocent's lost.

I'm really sick and tired of this shit. On January 20, 2009 we had Congress and the Presidency, and we didn't do jack shit. By late November 2010, we knew we had lost the house, and we still didn't do jack shit. Why?

Screw the bump stock owners. They bought the damn things to turn their guns into automatics and Hoyt Oct 2017 #57

Why not just get serious and buy them back at full value? NutmegYankee Oct 2017 #63
