Under the NFA, it is illegal for any private civilian to own any fully automatic weapons manufactured after May 19, 1986. Only certain types of FFL/SOTs may make them, and then only for purchase by qualified state and federal agencies. There are no exceptions. According to the ATF’s official handbook on NFA laws and regulations, it’s not even legal to make new replacement parts for pre-1986 machine guns: “There is no exception allowing for the lawful production, transfer, possession, or use of a post-May 18, 1986 machinegun receiver as a replacement receiver on a weapon produced prior to May 19, 1986.”
So, yeah, it's not legal. And as for the argument that bump stocks aren't fully auto: I know you're trying to get me on a technicality, but effectively it's fully auto, as demonstrated here.
are they incredibly accurate? No. Is there a point to them other than it being "badass"? no. Vegas shooter didn't need to be accurate as he was spraying hundreds of rounds a minute into a crowd of 22,000 people.
Wrong. Not illegal, how are you still confused on this.

As for bumpfire stocks, all they do is make it slightly easier to bump fire (which is basically using the recoil of the rifle to simulate full auto). I can bumpfire some of my guns without a bunch.pfire stock, takes a little practice but not that hard. Are you going to ban my knowledge of this along with banning these modified stocks? Are you going to ban YouTube training videos on how to modify a regular stock so it's a little easier to bumpfire? Are you going to just ban YouTube? Or just ban information in general?
