Recently, a U.S. federal court issued a formal ruling partially lifting the ban on automatic weapons. Weapons that use the "ramming stock" structure will no longer be considered fully automatic rifles.

From now on, the American people will be free to shoot on the road, and 400 million guns are not a dream.
As we all know, the United States is a country where all people can own guns, but there is also a limit to the number of people who can own guns, that is, they cannot hold fully automatic weapons. One of them is a firearm that uses a "ramming butt" structure.
There may be people who don't understand what a ramming butt is, but here is an explanation for you.
The so-called ramming butt is simply to add a spring between the receiver and the butt of the firearm, and after the semi-automatic rifle fires, the spring is used to force the gun to reset quickly, and it hits the finger of the trigger, resulting in re-firing. Such a semi-automatic rifle directly turned into a fully automatic rifle.
For example, a semi-automatic rifle can easily reach a rate of fire of 600 rounds per minute with a ramming stock, and the SKS semi-automatic rifle, as an old Soviet semi-automatic, can easily reach an astonishing speed of 17 rounds per second with a ramming stock attached.
Of course, the cost is that the recoil is unbearable and the accuracy is poor, but after training, it is basically possible to achieve the standard accuracy of a conventional fully automatic rifle.
The most important thing is that, compared with other means of gun modification, buying a crashing butt is a modification method that can be played by the handicapped party, and only a screwdriver is required.
Even you don't need to use a ramming stock, there is a manual firing stance that allows semi-automatic firearms to shoot at fully automatic speeds. There is a weapon area called the fire fairy UP North American Yan Shuangying once showed everyone in the video the "howling" skill of this semi-automatic weapon hitting the fire and fully automatic overtaking the target.
The 2017 Las Vegas shooting left 59 dead and 851 wounded
Although the butt has been controversial since its invention, the U.S. government has never paid much attention to it. This led to the outbreak of the shooting at a music festival in Las Vegas, USA, on October 1, 2017.
A gunman armed with a DDM4 rifle with a ramming butt fired at the crowd on the 32nd floor of the hotel, firing more than 1,000 rounds in just two minutes, killing 60 people and wounding 413.
As a result of this incident, the U.S. Administration of Drugs, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, or ATF, defined the butt as a fully automatic weapon modification kit, and the owner faces imprisonment. In the same month, the U.S. Department of Justice also announced a ban on the sale of "ramming stocks" and firearms containing "ramming stocks" and firearms with "ramming stock" structures, beginning in March 2019.
However, the great American people, in order to ensure their right to splash water on the road with automatic weapons, began to fight against this law, saying year after year that this law violated the Fourth Amendment to the US Constitution.
According to the National Firearms Act of 1934 (NFA), a fully automatic rifle is defined as "any weapon that can be fired automatically with a single motion of the trigger".
The Fourth Amendment, on the other hand, only restricts fully automatic firearms. They argue that the loading of the butt does not essentially change the legal definition of semi-automatic with a dozen, but that the trigger is pulled a little faster after the butt is loaded.
One thing to say, after knowing about this incident, I was a little nervous, and the Americans really gave up their lives for the sake of "strafing freedom".
At the same time, the American Rifle Association has provided a lot of support to these people, and of course, this does not rule out the consideration of the arms dealers led by the American Rifle Association who want to sell more automatic rifles and make a lot of money.
In short, under the protests led by the Rifle Association and American gun enthusiasts, the American people go to the government every year because of this matter, either to demonstrate or simply file an appeal to review the law unconstitutionally, which is very annoying to the American judiciary.
The U.S. Department of Justice finally got tired of it and lifted the ban on striking butts on June 14 this year, legalizing firearms that use such kits to achieve fully automatic speed fire.
This incident, I personally think that it is a test of the US Rifle Association to the US government, this time the ban is lifted on the butt of the firearm, what will be lifted next time? FRT Force Reset Trigger? FIFY fixed magazine? Or can we simply lift the ban on all fully automatic gun types, or even machine guns?
Don't think that American arms dealers still have the slightest bit of a pitiful conscience. At the current rate at which the U.S. government compromises with capital, sooner or later, fully automatic firearms will become legal in the United States. After all, 20 years ago, no one would have imagined that the United States would one day make marijuana legal.
Realizing the dream of freedom every day, a gun war on America is only a matter of time.
