Bump stocks

I know one of my big dreams is to experience the feel of rapid fire shooting. After all, I’m and American. And if the Navy Seals can do it, why can’t I?
Studies show that as mass shootings increase, new guns laws at the state level actually have looser restrictions on gun ownership. This odd, but certainly no more odd than the sudden agreement among Republicans, Democrats and the NRA on outlawing bump stocks. For the Democrats this is a small step than means hope. For the Republicans and the NRA this is just a small concession to make it appear they have some compassion. 
Such token steps won’t mean much until the macho, I’m-ready-for the-government-takeover, get-off-my-land-or-I’ll-kill-you attitude of Americans can be changed.
