Just do it. No need for them. Common sense.

[taxcontrol]

It is not a bill of “Needs”.

It IS a bill of Rights.

[polymuser]

“No need for them.“

Sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiipery slope there...

[FreedomNotSafety]

Do you believe rights are based on “need” and “common sense”? Whose “needs” and “common sense” are used for limiting freedom? Yours? The Dems? the progs?

But I guess you know best what the rest of us “need” and you have the “common sense” that the rest of us lack. Like any good Prog.

[NorthMountain]

No need for them

I don't see the word "need" in the Second Amendment.

Common sense.

Pound sand, Chuck Schumer.

“Just do it. No need for them. Common sense.”

Yep, common sense. AR 15 style rifles? Get rid of them. Just common sense. Semi auto firearms? Get rid of them. Common sense. All guns? Get rid of them. Common sense.

[piytar]

I hope you were /sarc there. This is idiocy. You can do the same thing with a rubber band. A bump stock is actually a far more expensive and often less effective way to do the same thing.

Or do you think banning rubber bands is "common sense," too?

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Just do it. No need for them. Common sense.

No thanks. If I owned any, they would be secured in a place where President Trump's teeny, tiny, grasping hands could not find them.

[redfreedom]

I couldn’t agree with you more. What we need is more common sense. In this modern cell phone age and a 911 call, the police, our protectors and servants, will be right there to save us from the knife wielding criminals. They will only have knives because like good little boys, they used common sense and turned in their guns.

And we don’t even need hunting guns, as common sense tells us it’s a whole lot cheaper to go to the grocery store and just buy meat.

I mean, let’s face it, whatever our problems, the government is here to help.

(I’ll spell it out, this is sarcasm)

Bump-stocks are silly toys that a guy figured out he could use as part of a cobbled-together A-Team solution to do evil in a very specific situation. It’s useful in sending many rounds down-range and cross-range while not hitting your target, when you don’t care if your firearm jams or is rapidly ruined. It works by you losing control of the weapon.

Having an unassailable firing point with many enclosed targets, no place to escape and no concealment - and in this case - almost TWO DOZEN spare longarms, and hundreds to thousands of wasted rounds which won’t be hitting any targets, and hours to days of prep time were all also required for what happened in Vegas.

The main part of banning a bump-stock that is problematic is that it is such a simple thing that it is more a concept than an item, and that definitions suggested to date include many, many, mundane items both firearms related and not - and thus extraordinarily capricious - including sticks, string, rubber-bands, beltloops, fingers in certain positions, and anything which can be substituted for those items.
