"A nationwide ban took effect Tuesday on bump stocks, the attachment used by the gunman in the 2017 Las Vegas massacre to make his weapons fire rapidly like machine guns.

Anyone in possession of a bump stock from now on can be charged with a federal offense punishable by up to 10 years in prison.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives outlawed the attachments at President Donald Trump's direction after the Las Vegas gunman rained fire from his high-rise hotel suite on concertgoers, killing 58 people in the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history."LINK

Why waste ammo when 1 shot is all you need to hit your target.

I never understood the appeal of fully auto.

Banning the tools psychos use is the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

Have you ever seen thr damage Tim McVeigh caused with a Ryder Rental Truck, some fertilizer, and some racing fuel? I don't remember people blaming Ryder or the fertilizer industry. Where were the calls to ban rental trucks? Or weapons grade assault fertilizer?

Hypocritical dipshits.

An insane depraved person will find a way to cause mayhem. No matter what tools you ban. You do not squash the rights of the many because of the actions of a few.

Also only really effective in a team environment when you've got time to reload and carry sufficient ammo.

So you're cool with limiting ammunition purchases? Draconian taxes on ammunition purchases? After all ammunition isn't a gun.
