gunfun 3,931 Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 Yeah they basically act like a patent troll and shut down items that are not covered by their patents.. They are based in TX and it is basically impossible to win against someone based in TX. I do often question how slidefire managed to stay out of trouble with ATF since my contact suggested any wide spread sales would result in a reclassification.. I don't know how grandfathering would work.. Most likely it would be like the Akins device. As in you must stamp it, but the stamp is free? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bvamp 604 Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 (edited) it should be a B misdermeanor for "uncontrolled fire". then we dont need a law for a bullshit part. then thye acn be right up your ass for nothing. I myself, can fire most rifles in this manner, ACCURATELY without a slidefire stock. make it illegal. "indiscriminant" or "uncontrolled discharge" of a firearm. B misdermeanor simple uncontrolled fire. easy enough,. dont take your guns you get a fine and chrome bracelets, see you in court. this is just an excuse for a whole wave of stupid ignorant shit to happen. oh wait, that law is already there....hmmmm....who dropped the ball George Washingston fully intende for the Americans to be ARMED when we won our war. Dont let an idiot like this take that away from us. Stand firm, stand strong, and dont back down And most of all stay united. I am sorry that the world is an evil place.

Turn them in postage paid, possession after a date is illegal. Maybe they will allow registration which would be awesome as it would be the single largest addition to the NFA in ever... But I doubt it would happen. As for congress it is more likely that the bill will snowball to include the Mexican border wall, an obamacare repeal and a ban on magazines over one round, which will result in it failing to pick up enough votes to get through either side.

gunfun 3,931 Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 Oh. Right. I was remembering the USAS 12 stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
csspecs 1,987 Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 (edited) Yeah in the case of the USAS-12 the DD registry is not closed to additions. So there are issues. IF... IF, an amnesty is announced it would likely be for all machine guns.. SO that could be interesting. Edited October 8, 2017 by csspecs Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WhiskeyMinion 300 Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 (edited) I don't know why people are thinking that bumpskis are a trade for suppressors. Nothing leads to that conclusion. If a person is a felon for owning a shitty piece of plastic that slides back and forth they may as well make their own suppressor.

csspecs 1,987 Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 (edited) The Antis are NOT in the business of trading.. They offer total confiscation and then offer to meet in the middle of only taking half the stuff now and the other half later.. Then say how they agreed to a compromise and how the other side is unreasonable. The best bet is to amend their bills to be totally toxic to their side.. Add border walls and obamacare repeals.

mixednuttz 123 Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 Any time that bunch comes up with something you hear "give them an inch, they'll take a mile." That's not how they operate. We give them an inch, they take another inch, and another until they get their mile. My concern with banning that stock is that you've given them a foothold by allowing the banning of an accessory. What's the next step after that, slings, scopes? You've allowed just about anything to come to the table then. Best we can hope is that the manufacturer decides that it's a good idea to cease making the product to save face. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have not been left with much hope for rationality with cottle. Even when faced with clear irrefutable evidence of prior art he acts as if he was the only person to ever invent anything ever. His statement was if someone else had invented it they would have marketed them.. Failing to understand that others could see this eventuality coming almost a decade out. Most likely ATF will just do a reclassification on them and that will be the end of it. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Machinist 150 Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 I agree gunfun. GOA is the no compromise and i am a paying member.

Sim_Player 1,939 Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 (edited) Uninterrupted full auto with a burst from a different weapon in the middle of the that full auto string. Sounds like two shooters, for sure. Had it been an echo it would have been doing it the entire time.Link to the video or audio? I heard some audio of the gunfire slowing down and knew it wasn't a true full-auto. My daughter's best friend was in the crowd. Her mother had just gone back to the hotel.

netpackrat 566 Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 I have seen first hand info from one of the first responders who was actually there, arrived while the guy was still shooting. He'd been on the wrong end of incoming fire numerous times while in the military and he was confident there was only the one shooter. FWIW, and I know people are going to choose to believe what they will, but given that friends of mine have traveled to LV to train with the guy, I am inclined to believe him. One of the things that has come out officially, was there was apparently an unarmed hotel security guard patrolling the floor the shooter was on, and when he went towards the sound of the shooting, the nutjob saw him via the cameras he had set up in the hallways, and sent a couple hundred or so rounds his way, and wounded the guard in the leg. It sounds like no more shots were fired at the crowd after he fired at the guard, and at some point after that he suck started his own gun. The guard made contact with the responders via either phone or radio and guided them directly to where they were needed, so the response time was honestly about as good as could be hoped for. It's speculation on my part, but I think that any delay in actually breaching and clearing the shooter's room can be explained by an abundance of caution in approaching a room where the occupant just sent a shitload of rounds through the door and walls into the hallway, and also somewhat less urgency since by then he'd stopped shooting altogether. Basically the shooter behaved true to the usual whackjob shooter pattern, in that as soon as somebody disrupted him, he killed himself. I'm not sure why so many of them do that rather than fight it out since they are going to die either way, but if they were easy to understand they probably wouldn't be crazy. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jerry52 893 Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 I am sure you are right but the video from the person pulling up to the entrance of the hotel sure sounds like there are two shooters. I am sure there is an explanation.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ronin38 2,117 Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 Just a SWAG, but with so many rifles in the room, and many with bipods, who's to say he didn't fire two rifles of two different calibers at the same time? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HB of CJ 1,263 Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 Dangerous slippery Constitutional slope. All down hill. While slide fires are kinda non useful nor mostly desirable they are most certainly absolutely protected under the Second Amendment. Example: ... We, (the guv) will let you stand upon your whatever soap box and talk all you want about space aliens, but you can not say one word about vacuum energy. Example: ... You can go to what ever church you want and even worship the Devil, but you can not preach one word about the Koran. Example: ... You can be safe inside your own home from non warrant door smash break ins and illegal searches ... BUT ... if you have even one non censored library book you are in deep shit. Respectfully. Very dangerous outlawing ANYTHING dealing with Constitutional Rights. Just me. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
