The crime precedence is not a valid legal argument for tools that are used to exercise rights, though many courts have sought to establish that as a major consideration. The problem with bump stocks is really a legal one that is painfully simple:
We have 2 classes of citizens created by the 1934 NFA, 1968 GCA, and 1986 MG registry closure. It is not illegal to own and operate automatic weapons, just extremely expensive.
1. Ultra wealthy who can afford to buy pre-’86 Machineguns, Assault Rifles, Automatic Rifles, Light Machineguns, and Submachine-guns.
2. A caste of peasant-citizens who can’t afford to keep and bear any of those. The most affordable submachine guns on the NFA market start out at about $14,000 and have very limited use. M16s go for $38 to $42k, plus $200 stamp tax and dealer transfer fees. These are outside of the reach of 99% of Americans, which is a direct violation of the Constitution per the Bill of Rights, and purposely so.
Bump stocks were a cheap way for the peasant-class created by Congress to mimic rates of fire common to automatic weapons, even though bump stocks have very limited and cumbersome practical application due to the silly additional muscular inputs the shooter has to use to make it bump-fire.

The Temple wasn't there though. It was in the city of David connected by a concourse to the city of Jerusalem on the SW end, and was completely leveled in 70 AD by the Romans.
The Dome of the Rock was built on a Crusades-era Chapel that was built on the ancient Roman punishment rock within the Roman garrison in Jerusalem. The Romans re-built the destroyed city in 130 AD, then built temples to their gods on the mound and Cavalry.
That garrison was walled-in, complete with rows of barracks, mess hall, administration, the governor's palace, whorehouses, a marketplace, basically like the Green Zone in Baghdad.
Then during Roman occupation after Constantine's Edict of Milan, Jerusalem was declared off-limits to Jews, and his mother Helena visited the city, ordering the destruction of the Pagan Roman temples.
The Jews who have been gathered back to Israel don't have many references for where anything was in 70 AD, because that city has been destroyed and rebuilt differently many times over the past 1,953 years, especially during Roman and Arab conquests, the Crusades, then the Caliphate.

The real argument is not a mechanical one, but a legal one. The NFA and 1986 MG registry closure created 2 classes of people with regard to exercising rights:
1. The ultra-wealthy elites who can afford to buy a real machinegun, Sub-Machinegun, or select-fire assault rifle for the entry fee of $14,000 to $200,000 or more, with a $200 tax and dealer transfer fees.
2. The deprived peasant-citizen who has no ability to exercise these rights. Pre-1986, it was much more affordable to buy automatic weapons through the $200 stamp tax infringement process, though still an offense to the 2A and the People.
Remember that the NFA didn’t make keeping and bearing machine-guns illegal. It infringed on the rights of the people by creating a special bypass taxation scheme that only less than 1% of the populace can afford to pay for. This is the only valid argument in this case. Bump stocks are a cheap way for the people to imitate owning a machinegun without actually having one that works well enough for 2A purposes.
For technical merits, a semi-automatic firearm equipped with a bump-fire stock is not a machinegun, and neither is an M16, AKM, or Uzi. Select fire rifles are assault rifles. Pistol caliber, compact, magazine-fed, automatic weapons are Submachineguns (SMGs). Machineguns are belt-fed. The idiots in Congress in 1934 got it all wrong, as has every Congress since (1968 and 1986). These are people who failed to bring in actual SMEs on the subject to clarify and contrast the different types of arms that are restricted from being infringed upon by any entity in the US.

@John-jz7zz They were given the power to collect punitive and preventative taxes on NFA Firearms and suppressors, destructive devices, and AOWs, where the specific intent of the taxes was to be so excessive as to deter anyone from exercising those rights.
They were later given the power to force gun shops to conspire with them in a Federal regulatory scheme of acting in a law enforcement capacity against anyone who wants to buy a firearm from a storefront.
Law-abiding citizens are treated as pre-criminals under these schemes, and also tracked by race, ethnicity, gender, address, birthplace, natural-born or alien status, and type of firearm purchased.
Gun shops act under an arbitrary licensing agreement where ATF can come in and revoke their license for concocted clerical or ex post facto violations with no recourse.
ATF was also awarded unconstitutional powers of regulating and constraining interstate commerce, in direct opposition to the commerce clause of the Constitution.
Everything about them is capricious, offensive to the text and tradition, as well as the intent of the Constitution.

@frankenz66 I’ve been a delegate before and have been to many meetings where people say the same, but I agreed with them in several particular cases because their conscience in those cases was in line with the Constitution. This was just delegates though.
What happens is that once a delegate goes to the State and Federal level Q&A meetings with Senators/Congressmen/AGs/etc., there is a large effort funded by the sponsors to steer opinion with lots of “facts” to support their corporate agendas.
Most people who have been to college are poorly-equipped to filter through these facts because they have zero formal critical thinking training or analytical skills, so it’s actually better to send someone with good gut instinct or someone with a PhD or strong scientific background, because the corporate sponsors/campaign bundlers are excellent at appeal to emotion arguments supported by select data.
The pillars of thinking that get immediately eliminated are Completeness, Fairness, Accuracy, Relevancy, Depth, Precision, and Logic. It’s very easy to sway delegates to think a certain way, and the rigged political parties have been in this business for basically 2 centuries, with a populace who has only gotten dumber.
The big party meetings teach representatives to look down at their stupid peasant constituents, and how to manipulate them into foregone conclusions that only benefit the campaign financiers.
The whole thing is a cursed illusion with some extra games to play than in an outright corrupt system, but the results are basically the same.
