I don't mind a good bump stock. Carved one meself aye. Fitted it to my Woomera. Taking out more 'hoop snakes' and 'drop bears' than ever. Rilly Trilly.
Oops, sorry. I'm an Aussie with no gun.

Watta concept! A rapid-fire spear-chucker! I gotta get me one of THOSE!
I bet it comes in handy for those wave attacks that Hoop Snakes are known to do!
But in all seriousness, the other example, the one where the FDA declared batteries to be "tobacco" probably affects more people in the US. For example, all of my vape devices employ 18650 batteries, which are "tobacco" under the deeming ruling. Fair enough, the vapes deliver nicotine clouds, so, "tobacco"... BUT most of my flashlights and lasers also use 18650 batteries, with nary a flake of tobacco in sight, yet those flashlights are now "tobacco" too, because of their batteries.
