WA Senate passes bump stock ban

While fantasizing about the targets being people. It's a fetish.

Knowing that this forum encourages evidence based arguments and claims, I was wondering how you came to this conclusion.

How does target shooting as a means to train murderers compare to non-firearm martial arts and other contact sports in which the practitioner trains to beat a person to death with their own hands? Is it a fetish or something else?

I'm using the same evidence standards at the NRA.

Because shooting targets is done to increase the ability to shoot people. Martial artists don't have "the deadly" hands except in movies.

I'm expecting one hell of a lot better than NRA standards even from you. Why not raise your standards to something that is not so disgusting?

I'm not planning on shooting anyone; why do you insult me like that?

I know what movie violence is. I'm also not so naive as to believe that a person can't be beaten to death by another with their bare hands. Why are you trying to make us believe that you're not training to be a better killer when you kickbox?
 
Maybe I am, but that doesn't matter. No one is calling to ban marksmanship. You can train to kill with guns all you want.

I'm just calling for people to not have easy access to weapons of mass murder.
 
Wow another ban that will do nothing. I listened to the radio on my way home today and most people calling in don't even know what a bump stock is, nor that it has (to my knowledge) been used in exactly one "mass" shooting, ever.

"Wow I was so surprised to hear Trump talk about bump stock banning, gee he's doing something!" No he is not don't be an idiot.

As much as I've changed my opinion about guns, this is just more stupidity to placate the dipsticks. I have not changed my opinion on meaningless or stupid laws.

Also, I said recently "to be clear, I do not think owning a gun should be a right". I'm not actually sure how I feel about that, and I don't pretend to have answers for all of this.

The only way this changes is if gun enthusiasts one day agree that the gun thing isn't worth it, and I don't see that happening in my lifetime.

More than one Kendoka owns a live blade or blades. Would you consider them to be murderers-in-practice?
 
I can't find a thing on bump fire stocks in other countries. In those countries that allow civilian ownership of center fire rifles, I'd imagine that bump stocks are not an issue at all.
 
The Florida school shooter Cruz was in an Instagram chat with some hater buddies. One of them recommended to him to buy a bump fire stock. I don't think he did, though he did purchase 10 rifles in about the past year.
