The bumpstock device is as hi-tech as a chair under a door-knob, door lock. Outlawing them will be futile and will result in home-made versions by thousands of do-it-yourselfers. Any recoil-operated semi-auto can be converted, and there are bazillions of them out there.

Any law, to be at all effective, must prohibit any gun that can fire more than one shot per trigger -pull.

The legality of the bump stock, the simplicity, and the wise availability do cause a problem. Of course a similar device can be made by a dedicated madman/person (or doomsday prepper). But someone with a basic knowledge of gunsmithing and machining can convert any semi-auto weapon to an automatic weapon - that doesn't mean they should be available on Amazon. Of course, a silencer is illegal but also easily made out of a flashlight or oil filter - congress has been debating making them legal - THAT may be on the back burner for now....

If you or the government attempt to take away the firearms belonging to law-abiding Americans, you will not like what happens next. Take that to the bank.

I know that this is a touch trite, but there are inherent risks in living in a free society. In that society the is no way to insure everyone's safety. If someone wants to k**l another person, or a group of them. as long as he is willing to give up his own life, there is no way to stop him. That said, we must mitigate those risks, but we must be careful about how we do this. I think it was Ben Franklin who said "If someone is willing to give up his freedom for his safety, he will have neither"

Easy to make but anyone caught with one should spend 20 years in federal prison.

That is if our ineffective congress would make them illegal.

Typical dumb uninformed liberal response. Expected. Yes, clown, you will like it if you like bloodshed, carnage and tens of thousands of dead liberals. Come to think of it that last part is not a bad idea.

You are obviously mentally unstable, and prone to threats of violence, as indicated by your documented posts on this blog.

You should be arrested for threatening violence, evaluated and declared mentally incompetent as well as a danger to society.

And have all your guns, as well as any sharp objects, taken away from you

For the good of society.

Typical liberal progressive, their way must be the law, regardless of the constitution.

Not sure what you're trying to say here. You are describing a fully automatic firearm which for the most part IS prohibited by many laws.

A bump stock does not a full auto make. The weapon is still a semi-auto.
