    I guess when I say machine gun I’m meaning (incorrectly) a rifle like an AR-15. Whether it be single shot (is that semi-auto) or automatic. Although I believe you can’t get autos as that’s why people use bump stocks; I again guess.

      Bump sticks are ineffective as a way to increase fire rate and are a gimmick. They are notoriously unreliable. If you want to be scared, look up binaries triggers(or don’t) but they aren’t really used in crime. Other than a case here in my state, and I believe one other. Contrary to popular belief, it’s not the scary looking guns that kill most people. The majority of gun reported shootings, are suicides, or, inner city crime. Neither of which I condone by any means, however, people are not walking around with bump stocks.

        But can it kill multiple people really fast and do they sell it at Walmart? I know the answer to the first one but I genuinely don’t know if they sell those there. I have seen guns though lol

                It’s purpose isn’t to kill lots of people really fast? Because that’s all I have seen them used for

                    Ok but you aren’t understanding my point they are made to kill things. You can say people use them for sport but they are killing machines and they are more powerful than a normal civilian needs for anything productive. I don’t feel comfortable with you having these guns. You or anyone. Senseless to let children die for that dude. Just give it up already
