None of us like it when our stocks have bumps.
The language is sufficiently vague as to possibly prohibit any after market modification (springs, bolt carrier, etc.). I look forward to being a felon because of slightly lighter trigger pull. :ohyeah!:
When explaining the inscrutable vagueness and complexity of California law, my own father responded to me, "at least they're doing something". Making felons of otherwise law abiding citizens and potentially ruining lives with no upside is... something, I guess. Its just not a constructive something.

Actually respond to well documented, specific threats (ie the Florida shooter). Prosecute straw purchasers (those that buy guns with the intent to immediately give them to someone else). Prosecute those who attempt to purchase a firearm when knowingly ineligible to do so. This would be a something that might actually make a difference, if a modest one.

I suppose if you enjoy things such as Ruby Ridge or Waco. I don't think of those things as better, personally.

Your solutions are a better something as in the first "well at least they're doing SOMETHING " :|

I would have enjoyed Ruby Ridge more if Randy Weaver had been killed

Randy Weaver, who went on to do absolutely nothing and just wanted to be left alone? The gall of that man. :shake:

I feel the same way about Lon, who actually killed an unarmed woman. Explain why you get the moral high-ground here, if you don't mind.

Punch a Nazi, execute an accused white supremacist... I don't know if this is a constructive approach.

We'll see how that turns out, I guess.

I live to hear these idiotic made up stories of kids saying shit. There is always at least one with every big story.
Then everyone clapped and Obama gave the kid a medal. And do you know who that child was? Albert Einstein.

AND of course we can't have nice things: Tons of comments on the video about how it's actually an illegal modification and he's going to get a visit from the ATF.
Its kinda what led to Ruby Ridge. In that case it was shotguns with barrels cut down just shy of the legal limit. He won't get a visit from the ATF for the same reason the DC? New York? police didn't visit the reporter that brought a 30 round magazine into the city for a 60 minutes or whatever.
Apparently the legal decommissioning of a firearm has some specific requirements, and a band-saw (or whatever) through the receiver is not up to snuff.

This seems kinda similar to my friend who has a de-activated MG-34 that has a big old welding bead in the chamber to prevent use-age.

Science has shown that the fastest solution to any problem is to obfuscate with moron-baiting conspiracies until the people disagreeing with you get sufficiently intimidated or shot.
