Re: “Mere logic says it turns a legal semiautomatic into a “machine gun”.”
- zzfart #msg-1244248  

Trust me on this: Those of you who are so engaged in this discussion on Pffart4 have no business EVER using the word "logic." If you aren't smart enough to understand that whether a bump stock turns a semi-automatic gun into a machine gun hinges on the definition of "machine gun," then you're in waaaay over your heads.

If a "machine gun" is any gun that can fire rapidly, as you and your pffarting echo chamber think, then a person with a robotic finger turns any semi-automatic gun into a "machine gun." Only an idiot would think that was the case.

The generally understood definition of the word by gun professionals is a gun capable of firing multiple rounds with a single trigger pull. A bump stock doesn't do that. It just helps a person's finger pull the trigger more rapidly - with a complete loss of control, by the way. The Las Vegas shooter would probably have killed many more people if, instead of using a bump stock, he had aimed and fired rapidly.
