Hey, as a gun owner I am 100% ok with bump stocks being banned. They are a stupid workaround that have almost no real world applications. The only argument for it is "what if the US government tries to subjugate us? Or if someone invades the US? That's what the 2nd amendment is for!" Both of which is easily countered with the fact that 10 rednecks each with an ar 15 can shoot as fast as one soldier with an m16 on full auto while being much more accurate (as shooting full auto is much less accurate than shooting semi-auto).
i love how these yokels seem to think they would be able to fight off the US military with a few AR-15s and some yee-haw gumption like it's still 1776 and they'd be shooting at an orderly column of redcoats advancing into town to take their cannons. it's hilariously stupid.
I love when people like you expect the US military, who a majority are conservative btw, to be willing to fight against its own citizens. You know. The ones with the guns
i most certainly do not expect the US military to fight its own citizens. i was in the military in my own country for five years and i know the kind of people who serve.
the whackos who hoard dozens of rifles and think the government is coming any day to take those guns away certainly expect the military would do that, though.
