| Corderlain:
It doesn't need a bump stock to have controllable recoil but saying it wouldnt be effective in any way is handicapped. Also Frankie I still want to know why you're blocking me and doing the avatar thing. |

--- Quote from: beachbum111111 on February 23, 2018, 11:52:54 AM ---Bump stocks intended use is to reduce recoil when firing. Not to make your gun automatic --- End quote --- what? the whole purpose of bump firing is to fire a semi auto fast enough to not destroy your finger but still be almost automatic. Bump stocks just make it vastly easier. Just because bump stocks use recoil to operate doesn't mean they mitigate recoil in any way. I mean it does mitigate some recoil but that's not the intended purpose, just a feature required to actually bump fire it |

i really dont get the impression that people understand that any benefits you get from shooting faster with a bump stock are completely lost due to the atrocious recoil control and repeated need to reload https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTb6hsSkV1w |

Rally, who is by no means a gun control advocate, has made that exact same claim in this thread. I don't think bump stocks should be banned because I don't think it'll actually be effective at curbing gun violence. If you can mimic the same effect as a $800 stock using a couple of rubber bands, then legislating on the $800 stock is pointless because it's trivially easy to create an illegal version of it. Whereas making a hand grenade requires some level of expertise and certain materials which are easily regulated. --- Quote from: Kearn on February 23, 2018, 04:49:56 PM ---i really dont get the impression that people understand that any benefits you get from shooting faster with a bump stock are completely lost due to the atrocious recoil control and repeated need to reload --- End quote --- I think the gun-control angle to that exact point is that the recoil control isn't an issue if you're, say, firing from a tall building into a music festival. |
