Many of us here generally adhere to a libertarian principle that the government shouldn't ban things because of what someone might do. Mere possession of something shouldn't be illegal. No victim, no crime. etc.
Unfortunately, that principle isn't enshrined in our laws. We ban possession of drugs, for example.
I suppose we can break this "call for a ban" into two categories:
- Is it protected by the 2A?
- Is a ban a violation of the principle above?
How about we combine them and the answer is YES to both.
The bumpfire stock is just another item in the myriad of things that have developed in the firearms world via the natural order of progression in invention and technology, no different than night vison, excellent quality scopes, better performing ammunition or the GE mini gun or the Firestorm system or the Phalanx or any other part or accoutrement to any other system.
What we NEED TO BREAK, is the sheeple mindset that public opinion driven government officials can continually trash a codified protected right.
at will.
