Well, I prayed that Hillary would lose. Looks like it's good at stopping some forms of evil, but I don't understand what that has to do with your libertarian platform, IP.

sorry bud, not religious, don't think praying will do anything. Security at the event with a vantage point and good rifles would be effective though, and lots of structural barriers around the venue and of course since this guy owned planes a net over the venue

I don't profess to religiously adhere to any party ideology, cwtcr. I don't consider myself a partisan. Nevertheless, praying about it does seem to be consistent with the libertarian and conservative response to this tragedy.

Here's one guys take. Had never heard of the band, but admire the guitarist's ability to admit that he was wrong.

The stock recoils and pushes the weapon back into the finger, thusly the dump. I don't think he used that and instead modified to full auto.

Can it significantly increase the rate of fire?

If it was to be banned, is it easily fabricated?

good for them, If someone wants to pray and thinks it helps more power to them. If someone can instead figure out when a perfectly normal human decides to kill lots of people that would be great also

Anyone who calls for gun control, by default, is not very bright for both philosophical and practical reasons. Also, he/she needs to read a history book.

I don't think it makes much of a difference, not as much as full auto. But I would have also fired in bursts and started dropping bodies further away so the crowd runs towards me and into the kill zone instead of starting with closer and chasing the crowd away.

Yes, they are stupid.

1. The stock slides on the buffer tube for the gun freely.
2. A piece ("shelf") attached to the stock protrudes to the offhand side of the trigger guard.
3. You stick your trigger finger through the trigger guard and rest it on the shelf. You do not pull the trigger in normal fashion.
4. You then Pull the gun forward with your offhand extending the stock. Your finger on the shelf will then actuates the trigger.
5. The gun recoils collapsing the stock.
6. Constant forward pressure simulates automatic fire.

They really have no use other than turning ammo into noise. If the lunatic didn't have 22k targets he wouldn't have hit much.

Google "bump fire"

You don't even need a stock. That said, you could make one in 30min by taking a normal M4 collapsing stock and removing the locking pin, then attaching a shelf extension to the trigger guard with some epoxy or something.

Not an argument. If anything, emotions cloud judgment and his opinion should be weighted less in the grand scheme of things.

My nephew told me if you didn't watch what you were doing you would burn the hell out of your hand.

He said he has no use for them.

Great. You should ask the millions of aborted babies what they think about having their skulls crushed before being sucked through a tube so IP can reduce crime rates.

I have mentioned I believe that I don't view abortion as a murder of a living person. I think the Roe court reached the correct decision. My empathy here lies with those on the planet, including the mother.

I respect your opinion.

According to my understanding, the pregnancy was not unplanned.
