'Bump stock ban' my ass

Sure as hell, the Democrats are pushing a bill that's as badly-written, and therefore wide-ranging, as you might fear.  With a number of Republicans co-sponsoring it.  Wonderful people, aren't they?
The bill drafted by Rep. Carlos Curbelo (R–Fla.) and Seth Moulton (D– Mass.) intends to make illegal bump stocks or "any part or combination of parts that is designed and functions to increase the rate of fire of a semi-automatic rifle."
Just think how the ban-minded bastards could interpret that: ban replacement triggers, springs, and anything else their nasty little hearts desire.

Bastards and control freaks, every one.

Okay, short of "voting by bullet", what do we do to shut this down?

The usual: politically, yell at your congresscritters and make sure they know that A: it's crap, and B: voting for it will get you voting for someone else. Or in some cases not voting in their next election.

And making sure, when someone who honestly doesn't know what's wrong with it asks what's so bad?, tell them. So at the least they won't be hostile, and at the most might mention to their congresscritters that this seems like a bad idea.
