  16. it IS NOT illegal to own fully automatic firearms in the united states. as long as you pay the tax stamp and comply with all provisions of the 1934 nfa you can own any fully automatic firearm you can afford. the only thing the 1986 law did was ban the manufacture of new fully automatic firearms for the general public. very few fully automatic firearms have a rate of 840rpms. and if you do actually fire that many rounds in a minute youll likely melt your barrel. most are in the 200-600 rpms range. "semiautomatics fire much more quickly than the kinds of firearms that have been around for most american history". bullshit. pepper boxes, volly guns, puckles, kalthoff repeaters, cookson volitional repeaters, belton flintlocks, jennings rifles, and girandoni air rifles, have been around nearly or longer than the usa has. and semiautomatics in the modern sense have been around for 134 years of the 243 years the usa has existed, so wrong again. and how does reducing the 6 seconds it would take a trained user to reload 3 10 round magazines to 2 seconds make a semiautomatic significantly more dangerous? and why 10 rounds specifically? a bump stock does not make a semiautomatic rifle "more deadly". neither does it modify in any way the internal functioning of a rifle. all it does is assist the shoot in more quickly reciprocating the firearm. a practiced shooter can do this with a belt loop or even just their finger. it also MASSIVELY degrades accuracy as the entire firearm is in motion making impossibly to aim accurately. the truth is, the las vegas shooter using a bump stock very possibly SAVED LIVES, over the shooter engaging in rapid, aimed shots at specific targets.
