Rifle bump stocks serve no good purpose

February 23, 2018

The rifle bump stock serves no purpose at all but to convert a rifle to a machine gun. Neither civilians, hunters nor anyone else need a machine gun.

Banning a machine gun does not lead to the infringement of a gun owner's rights. When Delaware State Representatives Wilson and Briggs King say they cannot vote for a bump stock ban, they are showing their ideological ignorance to the facts and their refusal to do the right thing.
