The trick to bump firing a semi-auto, Linda, is to maintain a stiff, unmoving trigger finger and keeping forward pressure on the fore stock. With an AR15, you can open the lower plate of the trigger guard (it folds down to accommodate shooting with a glove or mitten), then rest the trigger against a tree branch, push forward on the fore stock, keep the pressure on, and ratatatatatatat.

BTW: a good friend of mine is a casino security officer in Vegas, he just stopped by to say hi, and I spoke with him about the shooting. One of his fellow officers was hit behind the left shoulder, the bullet came down through his lung and lodged near his sternum, and even with this wound, he dragged two young women to cover. I asked my friend what he thought about the insane gun control frenzy. I can't print his response here, but I would caution any liberal about getting in his face over this.

And why is that--would he kill us or just beat us to the point of near death? I always love the rational way you discuss gun violence in this country.

Yo, Kevyn, I can bump fire a semi-auto with just a strong thumb and a belt loop on my pants.

Have you ever bump fired a semi-auto? If you've never tasted chocolate, how can you describe how it tastes?

Did I say he would use a gun? Did I say he would beat you? I'll rephrase, it wouldn't be a smart thing to do for a liberal to try to tell him who should and should not carry a gun. He has arrest authority and a pair of handcuffs, and hate speech is a crime.

Didn't you hear? Ghettos are Democrat run Soviet style Gun Free Zones.

How's that working out?

Wow, so you really don't need anything more than your semi automatic and learning to keep your finger stationary.. A bit of adjusting from traditional fire..

I would have to learn to readjust but do believe I could.... liked the shoulder position just don’t use the shoulder or it won’t recoil~~

Thank You I book marked the video so I can check more out about it.. like not beating myself up when shooting, just to perfect the ability..

Just read this article~~ thought you and the rest may want to see what it says??

Donald Trump ordered US attorney general Jeff Sessions to “propose regulations to ban all devices to turn legal weapons into machine guns” today. He was referring to so-called bump stock devices which can modify a semi-automatic rifle to fire as many as 800 bullets per minute.

Trump’s statement comes amid rising calls for gun control in the US, after 17 students were killed last week in Parkland, Florida by a former classmate armed with a semi-automatic weapon. But the change Trump is proposing wouldn’t have had any impact on the Florida shooting, which didn’t involve a bump stock.

More broadly, the Department of Justice can’t just ban such devices, its own officials have said in recent months.

Trump laid the responsibility today directly on Sessions during a press conference in the White House. “I expect that these critical regulations will be finalized, Jeff, very soon,” Trump said, speaking to the attorney general:

The Department of Justice’s Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) has been reviewing whether adding a bumpstock makes a gun a “machine gun” since last December, after a gunman armed with multiple weapons outfitted with bumpstocks killed 58 people and injured over 800 in Las Vegas. Fully automatic weapons, or machine guns, are illegal in the US, but semiautomatic weapons like the AR-15 used in the Florida shooting are not.

“We will go through the regulatory process that is required by law and we will be attentive to input from the public,” Sessions said at the time. Of the over 36,000 public comments the ATF got on the proposal, 85% were against reclassifying bumpstock-modified weapons as “machine guns,” The Trace found.

Since then, DOJ and ATF officials have said publicly and privately that banning bump stocks could note be achieved unilaterally. They argue that Congress needs to pass legislation in order to reclassify bumpstocks in the US, the New York Times reported (paywall). The ATF “could not find a way to classify it as a machine gun,” in 2010, a former official told The Trace.

After a mass shooting in Las Vegas last year, a bill to ban bumpstocks was re-introduced in October. However, this stalled after speaker of the House Paul Ryan said the ATF, not Congress, should be responsible for the issue. It’s unclear whether Trump’s support for the idea would be enough to get legislation passed in Congress this time around.

Meanwhile, Florida state legislators today voted down a bill that would ban assault rifles, as students from the Parkland high school looked on....

Nonsene every big city in Texas is an open carry free fire zone. Not to mention Detroit where anyone who wants to can walk down any street with a desert eagle on each hip and a street sweeper slung over their shoulder. Unregulated or loosely regulated access to carrying weapons does nothing to reduce crime or violence it just puts more guns on the street.

That's a really, really bad kill ratio. Especially considering he was shooting fish in a barrel. Had he taken the extra second or two to take proper aim, his ratio would have been way up there. I'd hazard to say the 'bump stock' actually saved lives, in that sense, because there was no time to take aim between shots.

Not so. Anyone can possess a fully automatic firearm provided they have the prerequisite federal license. Same for explosives. It's the same old story of government denying an inherent right to the populace then selling it back for a fee. For instance, ever go fishing?

Check this out, an Uzi full auto into watermelons:

Notice how close he was standing? Full auto is much harder to control.

You can easily do it with a .45 as well!

Perhaps I spoke in error.

If so, the only common thread to all free-fire zones is that they're run by Democrats, and the victims are mostly black Americans.

If Democrats only cared 1/1000th as much about their own black constituents as they do about mostly white wealthy kids in another place, I'll bet they'd do something about it.

Ha! I had a guy asked me one time whether I'd prefer to be shot with a 9mm or a .45.

My answer was 'neither, they both hurt like a bitch'.

Can be done without the belt loop too. Takes a little practice and it's not very accurate but like you say, a ton of fun. Not sure I'd want to do it with a .308 or 6.5 creed but .223/5.56 works fine. Mike
