An AR 15 modified with a bump stock is capable of firing at 500 rounds per minute"The official Bushmaster XM15 manual lists the maximum effective rate of fire at 45 rounds per minute." https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=4&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjm9p6Fl9XWAhXr1IMKHTGNCa8QFggwMAM&url=http://www.slate.com/blogs/crime/2013/01/02/gun_control_ar_15_rifle_the_nra_claims_the_ar_15_rifle_is_for_hunting_and.html&usg=AOvVaw2jsEDCo14PrOTvBszN642nwhat kind of car do you own?
What size house do you live in?
What kind of pet do you have?
Why don't you have a bigger, fancier, or more exotic one?
There are many restrictions on the car I own to make it safer. I am not allowed to drive drunk and must be licensed, insured and wear a seat belt
My house is limited by local zoning and safety laws
I am restricted in the type of pet I can own......I am not allowed to own a tiger
These guns have no application in civilian use other than to massacre as many people as you can in a short period of timeThere are many restrictions on the car I own to make it safer.
and even more in the manufacture and selling of firearms
Not allowed to move? limited in what way?My house is limited by local zoning and safety laws
Can't put on additions, paint it, etc?
I am not allowed to own a tiger
Why not?

no, there are multiple uses, you just ignore the ones that don't fit your agenda
Name a practical use of an AR-15 that has been modified to shoot 500 rounds per minute?
So, I guess there really wouldn't be a "practical" application of an AR-15 capable of firing at 500rpm. That said, at 45rpm, one could argue that sport shooting would be a "practical" application. As for the 500 rpm part, an AK-47 "At full cyclic rate, they can fire about 600 rounds per minute (upto 640 rounds per minute for the AKM), with a practical rate of about 100 rounds per minute fully automatic..."https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=3&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwiFhZD8l9XWAhWhzIMKHeo1BaAQFgguMAI&url=http://www.constitution.org/mil/wi/17th/ak%20rifles.htm&usg=AOvVaw3NlcES1wzvpHuE8QSRokYg The BAR is capable of a 500-650 rpm rate, however it is limited to "just" 20 rounds. So, what rifle would you say is capable of firing at 500 rpm that you do not know of a "practical" application for?
That weapon rained horror down on thousands of people
It has no place in our society
First of all -- I agree with you. Secondly, quit being so fucking dramatic. As many folks have told you -- a 500 round CAPACITY is not really legal or practical on an AR.
The "bump fire" trick was known in the Old West with certain rifles using the laws of physics to reload and fire. It's not real new. It's like looking super bad by starting a chain saw by dropping it by the cord..
Second -- the MORONS at the ATF probably never actually fired one when they declared it LEGAL in 2010. That's just the general INCOMPETENCE and lack of motivation the Swamp is known for.. Blame THEM for the additional deaths in Las Vegas.
Third -- by many state laws about mag capacity, you couldn't even legally test or toy with this.
But PERSONALLY -- I think for the pro-gun folks to keep a PRINCIPLED STAND on where "the line" drawn -- "semi-automatic" needs to REMAIN "semi-automatic".. That's why I oppose this the same as any already illegal mods to legal rifles...
Now -- you gotta get ATF and the current leadership to get on the right side.
