All Good until................after about 1970 or 80 when people all live in cities and in the suburbs and they started to NOT want to shoot a turkey on Thanksgiving or go hunting in deer season. So........with FEWER people hunting the Arms manufacturers were getting less profits. Then they got the NRA to push paintball and propaganda about soldiers of fortune and the military. The gun magazines barely covered normal guns like bolt actions and double-barreled shotguns. It became all about silencers and semi-autos and MAN-killing guns and NOT animal-killing guns.
.....Personally, my last membership in the NRA was about 1970 and I became more interested in BOW hunting - there was more challenge involved and longer seasons, because for me it was more about walking around nature than killing animals anyway. Personally, I never owned a MAN-KILLING GUN and I never would. I refused to shoot at targets if there was an IMAGE of a man on it. I would ONLY shoot at bullseye-type targets!

First, they're called Bump STOCKS, not "Stops"...
Second, they're a novelty item. No one has used one in a crime and no serious hunter or anyone involved in self defense would used one for those purposes. So, spare me your red herrings...
Youcan achieve the same effect by using your belt loop or a rubber band (military grade, of course)...
It's just like the dreaded "100 round magazines". They are a range toy. Useless in actual battle. The Aurora shooter had one and it almost immediately jammed, spilling its rounds all over the floor. He did most of his damage with his shotgun and a pistol...
Since you stopped you subscription around 1970, how do you know what they publish today?
You never owned a "MAN-KILLING GUN"? So, I guess you've never owned ANY gun, since ANY gun is capable of KILLING A MAN...
