Not sure how this will fare in the courts once it inevitably hits. Pretty long and detailed history of technical reasons why bump stocks are legal. It's gonna be a bumpy ride, folks.

It's all about the pancakes, people.

"so I ended up getting the above because I didn't want to make a whole production of sticking something between my knees and cranking. To me, the cranking on mine is pretty effortless, at least on the coarse setting. Maybe if someone has arthritis or something, it would be more difficult for them." - Ben
