Banning slide stocks doesn't really do much about bump fire.

Gunners are arguing that the proposed ban on slide stocks which Trump himself has stated he is for wouldn't do much as one doesn't need a device to bump fire.

Watch the below video were a guy bump fires a semi-auto AK-47 and a semi-auto AR-15.

Note: This isn't gun porn. This is an effort to educate people on the issue of slide stocks and bump fire. The real problem, semi-autos firing intermediate rounds and equipped with large capacity magazines remains a threat regardless if slide stocks are banned or not.

Which is why Trump could make a meaningless promise about banning them, which he won't keep anyway.
