Further Proof Trey Gowdy is an Idiot
Bump firing a semi-automatic rifle doesn't not magically transmute it to fully automatic. It allows for a condition where the rifle is firing at an accelerated rate, without altering the function of the rifle. It uses the recoil impulse and the shooter pulling forward at the same time to bring the trigger finger and the trigger together faster than the finger squeezing the trigger alone. You don't need a special stock to bump fire a rifle either, if you have a thumb and a belt loop on your pants you too can bump fire as long as you have ammo to waste.
Automatic weapons are NOT illegal. You have to go through a series of paperwork and background checks in order to obtain one manufactured prior to 1986. This scarcity has also increased the price of a fully automatic weapon astronomically. You also have to do the same paperwork, and bureaucratic shenanigans to get a converted receiver from a class III manufacturer. Also, all of this violates the second amendment, as it is an infrigement at the federal level. If a state wanted to ban certain firearms or accessories they can. Read the tenth amendment for further assistance.
Banning a firearm accessory or a certain type of firearm will not stop criminals misusing a tool in a criminal way.

PSA and aero precision sold out of AR lowers this weekend...
They tend to go pretty quickly after things like this. This will make the prices go up as well. So, if you have any lowers it might be time to head to a gun show to make some sales.
Wasn't the bump stock ban one of Trump's talking points back during the Los Vegas massacre? I like how the media has conveniently ignored the fact that FBI knew of this guy's ambitions several months before he went on a murdering spree. Nope that doesn't fit our narrative, let's pretend it isn't relevant.
