Question #5: Would you vote to repeal the prohibition on the possession and sale of “bump stocks?”
Desired Response = YES |
| Answer: NO |
Explanation: I understand bump stocks to be an accessory, not a weapon, the purpose being to make a semi-automatic weapon fire in the same manner as a federally- controlled fully automatic weapon. It appears the US Dept of Justice has acted to ban bump stocks nationwide under existing federal law.
My position is also in alignment with the current NRA position.
