In reply to the discussion: Don't let the NRA fool you with their "facts" [View all]Straw Man
(6,657 posts)47. It's the other way around.
You could make a bump-stock to fit any rifle. They're mostly made for ARs and AKs because those are so common -- it's the old economies-of-scale thing. And of course it's easier to control a bump stock if you have a pistol grip, but a pistol grip isn't absolutely essential.
You do realize that it's possible to bump-fire without a bump stock, right? Bump-firing predates the existence of bump stocks. Do a little YouTube searching and you can find people bump-firing Mini-14s and even Garands: so .30-06 can certainly be bump-fired, although the Garand's 8-round magazine makes for very short bursts.

Excellent. Plus, so-called "assault rifles" are used against society ways besides mass shootings.

Your claims are merely 'proof by assertion', or argumentum ad nauseum

With all due respect, you are missing the point: 5 of the 10 used ARs within the last 7 years!

Which is not the same point you made in the last post, or the one before that.

But isn't it easier to put a bump stock on a rifle where you can remove the original stock?

"designed to accept devices like bump stocks" -- is putting the cart before the horse.

They are designed for accessories, whether those accessories came later or not.

All rifles are designed for accessories. A ruger 10/22 has a ton of accessories for it- it's popular

Well guess what, my finger is an accessory too then, since I've bump fired with just that before.

A ruger 10/22 is a "platform" as much as an AR is. Meaning, there are lots of accessories.
