A converted lower is also harder to spot than a bumpstock.

It's not merely a gun matter, either - once again, never mind this particular silly accessory, it's a TAKING WITHOUT COMPENSATION. If they get away with it for this...
That’s missing the point by miles.
Oh, are we only allowed to post about the point of all this? My bad.
So you think with Hilary as President bump stocks would be given a tax deduction?Respite? Doesn't feel like a respite...
They've all been pathetic when it comes to getting 2A laws passed. The results of court rulings are up to judges in filthy robes, but out of the three the NRA has done far more harm than GOA and SAF combined.GOA has been as useless as the NRA. You are better donating to the SAF which has a pretty decent record of winning in court.
I know, at least on the national level. At the state level we've had a lot of states go to constitutional carry, legalize suppressors for hunting, etc. but have also seen a fair number of red flag laws and bump stock bans.That’s not how comprise works when it comes to gun laws. We never “get” anything. They just take away one less thing ...until the next “compromise.”

Yeah like Gary Johnson who supported a high cap mag ban?Or maybe vote Libertarian
Yep, he's doa 2020.This is going to cost Trump way more than any of the "Russia" nonsense.
You can post about whatever you want. Won’t change whether you’ve missed the point or not though.
Yep, he's doa 2020.
True, but there is usually a comment period before the regs get changed. Jack.
Problem is Libertarian candidates lately have been DNC funded spoilers. And given the choice of a GOPe Torry vs. a DNC Chavista, do you want to be a UK slowly falling apart or go the full Venezuela?Or maybe vote Libertarian
So, if a bumpstock makes my AR a machinegun, and an auto-sear and some slight modifications makes my AR a machinegun, why wouldn't I want the latter over the former... all things being equal, of course.

There's a difference between a leak and a dam bursting.
Thanks, Matt. Jack.The proposed change in regs has been open to public comment since March.

The stock does not MAKE your AR a machinegun, the stock IS a machinegun. A friggin piece of plastic is now considered a machinegun even though it has no ability to accept ammunition nor the ability to fire it unless attached to an actual gun.
It's a little (very little) comforting to know that at least FPC has been anticipating this rule change and has been preparing for the legal battle for the past year. I think the best way to fight this in the court of public opinion is to continue to try to make average people understand the implications of the government just stepping in and taking your stuff (including harmless pieces of plastic) w/o compensation.Bumpstock Lawsuit - Guedes v. BATFE
Legal filing is there
Average people don't give a shit about things like rights, or laws, or precedent. They just want results, and they don't care one bit about how they're achieved. Mix in the fact that half the country is completely brainwashed and treating politics (and political topics) like a life or death team sport and you realize how well and truly F'ed we are.
I was half expecting to see a picture of a belt loop with three red lines through it at the end of the deck.
Not anymore.
That’s why the ATFE changed how they would review accessories. They now have to be submitted attached to the firearm.
