The Busmaster looks attracts a certain mind set. That mindset, for the most part, are the more unstable, more fantasizing, Rambo types. The fact you can order parts to turn your normal, wooden stock, semi auto hunting rifle into a Bushmaster look/work alike weapon, complete with bump-stock,($300) is itself a problem.
