I, for one, am stoked about the renewed opportunity to buy (or make) more effective weapons for fighting fascists with.

It'd be hilarious if a bunch of black people, lgbtq and immigrants started picking these up in droves and then they suddenly revisited this topic.
The AR15 is a watered-down M16. Bump-stocks really narrow the difference gap. There are even full guides on how to modify AR15s into full machine guns.
And those modifications are already illegal for any semi auto firearm.
It's just a 5.56 (usually) semi auto rifle. There are others that aren't AR-15s.
And those modifications are already illegal for any semi auto firearm.
The modification being illegal isn't much of a deterent to mass murderers.
The only real effective way to limit their scope of killing is to limit their access to the underlying tool: the AR15. Someone's scope of killing by modifying a 9mm handgun with extended grip =/= modifying an AR15 with extended grip. They differ in all sorts of capabilities: accuracy, capacity, recoil, etc.
This same argument is used to kill right to repair. Banning potential crime is always bad.
If everything that could be used to kill someone was made illegal, we wouldn't have very many things.
So, you’re good with Mini-14s?
What if we removed the motivation to kill people at all? Or is that just impossible?
They're already violating the law making these mods dude. I doubt they would stop at legal acquisition.
Bump stocks are absolute ass for any sort of accuracy, and should absolutely be banned. Perhaps the worst way to enable full auto on any gun.
Glad that the constitution still matters.
Now let's add the worker's bill of rights to the constitution so that the material conditions of society are improved and mass shootings are even less common, and suicides decrease.
"Gotta maximize the body count of school children"-These jusges, probably
"Because bans on AR-15s magically stopped school shootings in the U.S."

I'd be fine with this if the people responsible for these guaranteed future outcomes were held to account. Until we have a justice system that reflects fair penalties on poor leadership, we're fucked.
Good. Hopefully Illinois will follow
Speaking as a leftist, good.
If the time comes to hold up American democracy, individuals will need some firepower. The initial years of civil war against the Trump Regime will be very messy, with shattered supply lines and improvised militias handling a fair bit of the conflict.
The more decent folks who possess some form of powers, the better.
