I bet the ATF will nix this one.
Na. Binary triggers and other such gimmicks have been around forever. They aren’t going anywhere. They are utterly useless for most folks, but they aren’t illegal and aren’t likely to become illegal.

Question: I have an AR-15 with a bump stock. Are they still illegal? I think Trump ordered that action after some big shooting somewhere (LasVegas.....Aldean Concert?). I was going to take it off but forgot. Guess I better, before I get 10 years in some Federal prison, huh?

Supreme Court ruled the bump stock ban unconstitutional. In other words, not illegal. Amazing how our legal system is set up with checks and balances to keep us from living under the whims of politicians prone to emotional over-reaction.

Looks like people keep testing the regulators. I'm betting this one gets canned.

They are also, "when they are gone, they are gone".

They came out in 2015, so they are ten years old and survived both Barak Obama and Joe Biden. They aren’t going anywhere.

With the video I just watched, no way... Just hold the trigger down and it will dump the mag.
Yeah right. And I'm pro gun.

I must have watched the same video as you. If that ain’t considered the exact same thing as a full auto then I don’t know what would be.

Im pro gun as well. Own several of them. But I just don’t understand why someone needs that.

That’s because you don’t know what you are looking at. The trigger still has to be “manipulated”. It’s not full auto, though it does a great job of simulating full auto. Again, I don’t have a reason to own one, but it is not the same as a full auto machine gun and after the supreme court’s last ruling I see little reason to believe that these will be made illegal. The ATF can make suggestions, but they are a law enforcement body and not a law making body.

Good get one, if you haven't already, not debating, just calling it like I see it.

I don’t own one and I have zero desire to own one, but using the correct terminology and being precise in your language matters when discussing these subjects. Education > ignorance.

I played with the bump stocks when they first became all the rage. Local shop had one on both an AR and an AK for trial. I had to be standing perfectly and holding the gun perfectly for it to work. It wasn’t consistent at awkward angles or shooting poses. I just really didn’t see a practical need for one in my safe other than the thrill of hearing very fast bangs so I never bought one. I may have not given it a fair chance even though I tried it on multiple occasions. I never fell in love with the AR platform although I do own one each in 45 acp, 5.56, and 308 win.

It’s basically all legal now. Hell, i live in Tx and can get a suppressor with no federal paperwork. Hand cash, get suppressor, walk out door. Tannerite does wonders for hogs. As much as bump stocks or binary triggers are fun, should they be legal? No. But tannerite is the one that really gets me. Legal dynamite for the masses. Do have a closet full?? No, it all fell out of my boat, but it works wonders on hogs. So i hear…..

A couple of buddies went in and bought me a whole case of Tennerite for my birthday a few years ago. I haven’t even broken the seal yet. I need to get that out.
