    The thing is, with a bump stock you're still pulling the trigger one time per round. It's not fully automatic. So they would have to redefine the law. But you can still pull the trigger really fast. Watch this video of a guy just pulling the trigger, no bumpstock, at the same rate as a guy with a bumpstock.

    I went skeet shooting a few weeks ago. It was a blast. No fear involved.

    Let me clear up a few of the misconceptions about the weapons used in this attack. Specifically the use of "AR-15" , "Bump Stock" and "Assault Rifle" propagated by the talking heads on tv.

    1. The AR in AR-15 does not mean "Automatic Rifle"... it is the designation of the company that developed said rifle... Armalite. The AR-15 and others of this platform are considered "self loading" firearms.
    2. The "Bump Stock" or any after market trigger mechanism that is added to any firearm on this platform is counter to any reasonable thought for efficiency the person installing might have intended.
    A. The cycle of said firearm is finite. The AR-15 will cycle between 130-175 rounds per minute (excluding magazine replacement time). A person with minimal field time will achieve 70-80% that rate with far greater accuracy. In fact, any former military member with SpecOps experience will tell you that "single pull-single round fire" is the most utilized mode of operation. The so called "Spray and Pray" operation is not used excepting only the extraordinary circumstance... or movies.
    3. "Assault Rifle" is a misnomer given to us by Adolf Hitler. At the beginning of WW 2 the craftsmen producing weapons for the German Army designed a self loading (semiautomatic) weapon designated the MP40. The classification given, as translated to the English language, was sub-machine gun. Hitler didn't think that was fearsome enough and instructed the designers to call it an "Assault Rifle" as translated to our language.

    In the tragedy we have seen in Las Vegas much is to be considered for public safety. Firearms are very low on the list. Consider the bus attack in France... 77 killed in seconds. Passenger planes taken down with hundreds on board. All this pales when you consider the multitude of force-ably unarmed people killed by their own governments as in:

    Hitler's Socialist Nazi Germany - +/- 22 million
    Stalin's Marxist Soviet Union - +/- 65 million
    Mao Zedong's Marxist China - +/- 75 million

    Everyone of these democides were committed by governments who insisted there populace would be much better served by surrendering arms... in other words "gun control"!!!

    So... you tell me, what is the greatest potential threat to our people of the USA. Is it an evil person with a firearm, or a Liberal Progressive Government (aka; Socialist Marxist, Communist Marxist) whose largest focus is total government control and the disarming of our resident population.

    Someone used a key to get into his room when he wasn't around and his car wasn't in the parking garage. How did he get all those guns in his room?
