It Ain't Bumper Pool

Here's some real facts for those folks that insist on literal data.
Internet information indicates that a semi-automatic rifle in the hands of an experienced shooter could be fired at a rate of 90 rounds per minute including reloading
The firing rate on bump stock equipped rifles can be as high as 800 rounds minute not including reloading.
The hit rate increase is obvious, especially when firing into a mass of people where accuracy is not a requirement.
Enter this gun nut propagandist: Buckeye Firearms Executive Director Dean Rieck said in an email to supporters Friday that a ban [on bump stocks] would create a “slippery slope” that could further some people’s goals to “take our guns away.”
Questions for Mr. Rieck and our local outspoken gun industry representative What people and by what method, other than a constitutional amendment could anyone take away any U. S. citizens legally owned weapon? I posit that the some people exist only in PR manuals of the NRA.

The stock makers owe the NRA a thank you if not a cash contribution for the original hint that they might support controls on the bumper. Sales and prices for the item soared. Subsequently the gun makers and sellers recanted their support.
