Just like Hitler did.

Is a bump stock necessary for the security of a free state? Silly me for asking.

However does a Republican shit on the constitution at every opportunity?

How are bump stocks any different. So it’s an external modication? Still altering how the gun shoots.

And bumpstocks don't meet that definition. The gun is still firing semi automaticlly, just really fast. They definitely need to be banned, but doing so would require a new law.
