The Woodburn semi-auto ban…
by NHFC, Inc. on January 3, 2018
Back in October we told you that certain anti-gun legislators were working overtime to ban semi-autos under the guise of banning so called “bump stocks” and other benign firearms accessories. Senator Woodburn (D-1) kept that promise and has introduced SB 492. We have reviewed SB 492 and it is every bit as anti-gun as we predicted. SB 492 has been co-sponsored by some of the most aggressive anti-gun activists to ever walk the halls of the statehouse and defeating it is a top priority of the NHFC Board and our partners at Gun Owners of America.
As written, SB 492 will ban the manufacture, sale, ownership and use of:
” A manual or power-driven trigger activating device constructed and designed so that when attached to a semiautomatic firearm it increases the rate of fire of that firearm.“
So what is this? Well, first of all you need to know that a semi-automatic firearm only fires one cartridge for a single pull of the trigger. The trigger must be released and pressed again to discharge another cartridge. Unlike machineguns, semi-automatic firearms do NOT have a stated cyclic rate. That is, they do not have a rounds per minute specification. The speed with which a so called “bump stock” equipped firearm can be fired will differ between different shooters who have different skill levels. This is precisely because the firearm is only discharging one cartridge per single pull of the trigger. This is the textbook definition of a SEMI-automatic. These firearms hating legislators are focusing on banning something, anything, especially in an election year. We are counting on you, the grassroots gun owner to help us stop them!
