Banning them is a typical political sop to people who will go to bed thinking that something of substance was done. I've also said this numerous times, politicians like to appear to do things far more than they like actually doing something. Banning them will have zero effect on firearm related homicides. Or, as Dean Wormer would say, zero-point-zero.
No disagreement here. While I think it was the correct move, it's not like there was a bunch of homicides utilizing bump stocks. This won't have any real, measurable effect on anything.
