As much as I find Tucker Carlson insufferable, the headline is sensationalism at best. Carlson raises a very valid point; bump-firing is a technique (not just a physical aspect of a weapon) that sacrifices a firm grip on the weapon (and consequently, accuracy) for the sake of just dumping the magazine. Had the shooter taken his time, the "injured" number would have been a lot lower, if you catch my drift. Charles Whitman and Lee Boyd Malvo are testaments to this.

- seabird 9y agoThe shooter was a quarter of a mile away. Paced shooting would have been less alarming, wasted less ammo, and resulted in a significant increase in the amount of people killed, especially after the first couple minutes of the shooting (after the crowed dispersed). It's pretty damn hard to argue that the bump stock was anything other than detrimental to the shooter for more than the opening 2-3 minutes of the shooting, if that.
