I still think they're gimmicky. With the current hysteria, they are even more overpriced than before. However, I now understand how they can be incredibly useful.
I don't want one for hunting or home defense. I don't even need to own one myself for them to be incredibly useful. Why? Because bump stocks serve the same purpose as a canary in a coal mine.
They show which politicians believe the government's legitimate powers come from, and are limited by, the U.S. Constitution and which don't. If a ban goes into effect, enforcement will clearly show who are sheepdogs, and who are wolves.
