School me on the AR15 & bump stock.

Yeah, I hate every other driver but me too. In all seriousness, I understand where you are coming from. I take range safety and driving safety, very seriously. I drive the speed limit and I am tail-gated. I try to be over cautious at the range and I'm eyeballed.

All I'm saying is that the "ought a be a law against that" approach isn't American, IMO (and certainly not Northwestern IMO, historically). There are existing laws in place to enforce gun issues. These have not been enforced. While I believe they should be, the issue is man. In parts of Europe where guns are, for the most part, illegal, the criminal element has turned to knives. These are also highly regulated. Despite this, people are shivved every day. Bombs are illegal, but they go off in churches, temples, and mosques, around the world every day.

Jeff,

Before I close out, I also wanted to add the following...

To me, a firearm is just another tool. I'm not scared of them. I do not feel like any of them are some sort of a "dark" object. According to you, Jimmy, and minimus, that's how we're supposed to feel and respond to them? That was my interpretation and that's where I'm coming from.

I've been on a bit of rifle buying spree lately...and am now looking at getting an AR15 with a bump stock (before they are illegal).  I'm looking at the Slide Fire Colt LE6920 but really don't know that much about AR's except for using an M16A1 in ROTC many years ago.

So, I'm asking if anyone has recommendations on which AR to get and compatibility with a bump stock.  Is the Slide Fire Colt a good option or are there better ways to go?

TIA

Don’t bother buying a bump stock. The possession of them is being banned. You have to turn them in or become a criminal, at least until any legal challenges get that changed. They’re planning to offer people “up to $150” to buy back your $400 bump stock, so... unless you’re looking to take a bath on one, I’d avoid it all together.

Understood.  That's what I'm now thinking too.

We should be! It’s rediculous the amount of idiots on the road today, I’d be all for having to retake your drivers exam every other renewal. Sounds like a fair deal for the privilege of driving 3500lbs of steel around... but that’s another discussion.

3500 lbs? That it? I had more than that in the back of my pickup truck the other day!

MJ & Jeff's points are against everything I think of for individual freedoms.

Since they are both gun owners we know that they have more in common with pro gun folks, so while we can disagree on principle what kinds of things can be done?

Education and outreach are 2 areas that are longer term investments  but still allow us to keep our principles intact. 2c

And Jimmy, what things have you purchased or "used" because they were made aware to you by an outside source? Anything on this forum? Maybe?

I think it's absolutely distasteful of you to go out of your way to identify people from this company, and basically suggest, they're some relation to these "digital Nazis." Correct me if I'm wrong, but they never went out and did anything illegal to your knowledge, correct? But, now they're weird... because, we are... you know... "real talk" right now.

Most of the guys that I served with overseas, who never came home, were taken out by IED's. Word over there though, was that local insurgents got fired up by all sorts of board games and radio broadcasts focusing on flip phones, wires, and creative ordnance. Give me a break. Get real.

Didn't say I didn't approve of them selling.  So, you did read it wrong.  I'm fine with them selling whatever is legal to whoever is legal.  I'm just agreeing (one of those rare times) with mags that I have seen how video games drive a fairly strong demand for certain guns, enough so to change up the store a bit.  It was kind of a weird day when guys were coming in and calling constantly to try to get a SCAR or PS90 "just like in the game".

I know someone who has a 3D print file to print the bump stocks.  If he prints out about 10 of them he can make some money.

Guess it depends on the upcoming law(s).
