I am a gun owner, I have a concealed carry permit, and I carry much of the time. I own an AR-15, and I enjoy shooting it at the range.
Removing the ban on bump stocks is bullshit. I could modify my AR-15 to be fully automatic (the know how is available online), but that would be breaking the law. The bump stock is just a legal workaround to converting a semi-auto to full auto.
I agree with you in principal, but the ruling was based on the language of the statues in place.
It is a technological adaptation to increase due rate, but bumpstocks do not meet the legal definition of machineguns since it's still 1 trigger action/ 1 round fired.
I would think binary triggers also fall into this category.
I do think it's important for the govt to follow the laws as written, so the legal outcome of this may be to revise the statues appropriately.
