Florida Republican Rep. Carlos Curbelo is planning to introduce legislation Thursday to ban the sale of bump fire stocks, an accessory that can allow semi-automatic firearms to rapidly increase their rate of firing rounds, similar to that of an automatic weapon, which are banned by federal law.

"I think we are on the verge of a breakthrough when it comes to sensible gun policy," Curbelo told reporters Thursday, saying his office has been "flooded" with calls from other lawmakers asking about the bill.

He said that the shooting in Las Vegas, where the shooter appeared to modify several weapons with bump stocks to fire rounds more quickly, demonstrated that these devices, are in his opinion at the "outer limits of what the law allows, in this case something that we strongly believe should be illegal."

I'm a ferociously pro-gun guy as most of you can tell.  I'm no expert on this because I've never used a bump-fire stock or a crank trigger.

That said, my initial instinct is that these device are attempts to circumvent the NFA Act.  People who market and use these devices (although technically legal) are fucking things up for gun owners.  They are trying to cheat.
