Relying on the Same Illogic That Trump Used to Ban Bump Stocks, a New Lawsuit Argues That Customizable Rifles Are Illegal
The plaintiffs say manufacturers broke the law by producing rifles that were compatible with accessories that facilitate rapid firing.
A new lawsuit against the manufacturers of guns used in the 2017 Las Vegas mass shooting claims that AR-15-style rifles are illegal because they are compatible with bump stocks, which increase their rate of fire. The plaintiffs, parents of a woman who was murdered in the Las Vegas massacre, argue that bump stocks like the ones used in that attack convert semi-automatic rifles into illegal machine guns—a position that has been endorsed by the Trump administration. Therefore, they argue, AR-15s are themselves illegal, since the federal definition of machine guns includes firearms that "can be readily restored to shoot, automatically more than one shot, without manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger."

So basically... all semiautos.

 

[Blimey]

If I make a new device that hooks onto an existing one and creates an illegal combination, the original device is now also illegal as well.

Essentially anything would be illegal with this rationale.

But....bump stocks still require a trigger pull for each round fired.

"since the federal definition of machine guns includes firearms that "can be readily restored to shoot, automatically more than one shot, without manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger."

Next......

Lets apply this to , oh underage drinking. A 19 year old gets pulled over and is found to be under the influence, is his car now illegal?

NO, but the parent's are. They manufactured something that facilitated underage drinking.

 

[Jmac00]

this is a money grab from an attorney, using the grief of a family murdered by a mentally unstable douche bag.

Obviously, a bumpstock still requires one pull of the trigger = one shot.

this is going nowhere, but will enrich one douche bag attorney
