I feel like my tools should work together instead of having their parameters set individually. If I select something, it's because I want to do stuff with it. Imagine hitting play on a video and then also having to hit play on the audio.

There's quite a lot of people out there who don't actually have principles, they just have things they like and a team to root for.
I contend that what a bump stock does is make the trigger the entire front half of the gun and your finger is merely a passive mechanical part. Like, you could replace your finger with a bent fork glued onto the bump stock and it would still function as intended. Your finger becomes the auto-sear, the entire front half of the rifle is the trigger.

And if you attach a string to an M1 carbine just right it also becomes a machine gun. Constructive intent and the ability to enforce the law matter. We're never going to be able to ban strings or belt loops, and neither are produced or owned with the intent of building a machine gun, but a bump stock is clearly a purpose built device intended to turn a rifle into a machine gun and it's comparatively easy to enforce prohibition on such a specialized part.
WORLD'S. FASTEST. BULLETTRAIN. NETWORK.
A rail line that can handle a 280 foot piece of cargo would be heaven for high speed adoption with how straight it would have to be.
I don't know much about finance, but how would you ban cheap-ass stocks?
If you've ever actually shot an automatic weapon, only the first shot has any real chance of hitting what you're aiming at. Even the military reserves burst and full auto for suppression and pretty much nothing else. Bump stocks just add to the inaccuracy problem.
And that's bad. We don't like that.
In my opinion, a bumpstock does actually fit the definition of a machine gun, because the user-action to fire multiple shots in a row is one continuous action. Your finger becomes a part of the mechanical function of the gun and the trigger is pressed by pushing the handguard forward.
Yep. That's a long rifle.
