I’m sure that my opinion on this subject is going to piss off some people. First let me say that I am pro 2^nd Amendment. I am pro gun ownership without infringement by the government. I am a lifetime member of the NRA. I believe that every American of age has the right to keep and bear arms or arm and keep bears, lol. I prefer the first one. However, I do not believe that any person outside of the military has a need for extended capacity magazines, bump stocks or binary triggers. Now if you do not know what these are or how they work I am more than happy to explain.

A bump stock, as seen above, is a stock replacement on a rifle that allows a person to shoot faster by allowing the guns movement due to the recoil to move inside the stock moving the trigger to and away from the finger, in other words you pull the trigger and do not have to move you finger as the gun slides back and fourth into or on the stock to make the recoil push the trigger against your finger allowing faster shooting times or cyclic rate of fire.

A binary trigger, as seen above, is a replacement part for a gun that allows the gun to fire around on the backward and forward movement of the trigger after the first shot. The first shot is the normal pulling or squeezing of the trigger, but instead of the trigger resetting for a second shot at release to non-firing position, it allows the trigger to fire another round when your finger releases the trigger, so you get a shot with both movements of the trigger. So instead of squeeze, shoot, release, reset squeeze and shoot, you get squeeze shoot, release shoot, squeeze shoot, release shoot. In theory doubling the rate of fire.

Now as for extended magazine or extended capacity magazines they are exactly what they say in their own description. They allow the weapon to hold more rounds than is normal from the factory supplied magazines. In my humble opinion, if you learn how to shoot, you have no use for these. My dad would take me out from time to time to shoot cans with a .22 caliber revolver and with practice I learned how to shoot. He also told me to never touch his guns without him and of course I didn’t listen. He caught me and whipped the shit out of my ass. I never touched them again. If more people did this today, I truly believe we would not have some of the problems with shootings we have nowadays, sorry but I digress. The point is, if you know how to shoot instead of spray and pray like some gang banger in a drive by you have no need for these attachments or accessories. By the way, that is what they are, accessories, attachments and add-ons to guns.

Therefore, there is no reason we can not ban them. I hear these idiots saying they can’t ban those it goes against the 2^nd Amendment. Fact is, no it does not. The 2^nd Amendment protects your right to keep and bear arms, it does not give you the right to change those guns or the right to buy attachments, only guns. If all civilian weapons were limited to 10 rounds it would hurt nothing and might help save a few lives, not as many as could be saved by teach proper gun handling and shooting and parents teaching their kids the difference between right and wrong, but many as it would give sometime for people to act, whether it be to take down a gunman or run, during reloading. Just as an example I can shoot 10 rounds in the black drop and pop a clip and shoot another 10 rounds in the chest of a target at 50 feet fast enough that one guy in the range thought I was using an extended magazine. So, to me gun control does not mean taking away my guns it means hitting what I aim at when I decide to pull the trigger. If you need a bump stock and extended capacity magazine for a truly legitimate reason, I am more than willing to hear what that reason is and am open minded enough to make my own opinion based on the information, but understand this,

I do not believe cops need large capacity magazines either. I often wonder what reason they could have for needing these items in their work. Every time I see where there was a shoot out between cops and bad people, I have noticed that the cops shoot what seems to be 10 rounds to the bad guys 1 and still miss. This tells me they need better training to control themselves as well as to hit what they aim for when squeezing the trigger. Now a little more about me, when I was younger, I was an avid hunter and fisher. I got my first gun, a Marlin 30-30 lever action rifle when I was 15 to use for hunting. Our schools had a gun safety week during health class where State Police and Game Wardens or Forest Rangers would come and talk to the classes as well as going over proper ways to walk, climb over fences or even how to get into your tree stand safely with your gun alone or with a hunting partner. I do wonder why we stopped these teaching lessons? If you know, please tell me why in the comments. I am sure that lots of people both agree and disagree with me, but these are just my opinions, as I do not speak for another person or group, just for me. I am attaching links, so you may see how the bump stock and binary trigger work. By the way I encourage you to make your own decisions based on research. Do not blindly follow me because it is easier. Just pull up Google®️ or Bing®️ or what ever search engine you use and search for yourself. It only takes a little effort to be informed instead of ignorant. Thanks for reading. Something else to remember is this is only my opinion and opinions are like assholes, everybody has one and most people think they stink.
