Florida just "accidently" banned aftermarket AR15 triggers

Nope. Deer. Just for hunting deer (not even ducks or bears). They told me so. Given how many litter the roads of rural central Texas, I can see why our Founding Fathers considered them so dangerous as to enshrine our defense against them in nothing less than a constitution drafted on the heels of a bloody war for independence from the (I assume) deer-loving British.

Conversely, I belive that bump fire stocks have made so much profit because that huge, vast, encompassing majority that use them do so safely.

When humans disagree with what I think, I too, want them to "drop it".

Coincidentally, this is exactly what the multitude of "mine furor" have in store. For us.

A good hunter only needs one shot, so muskets it is then... (A clip from the future.) Until they ban hunting...

(5) DDT was among the best things to ever happen to mankind, up there with antibiotics. Malaria was nearly driven extinct before Silent Spring and rigged studies on bald eagles were published to a naiive and ignorant American public)

Millions have died because of the ban on DDT. Millions die when firearms are banned.

The blood is on the hands of the banners, not the NRA.

Honestly, I mostly fear a Massachusetts-style delayed fuse effect. The MA AWB banned all but a litany of guns by name & model --cool right? Fudds could keep their wood-stocked BAR hunting rifles & Mini 14s, and the people made due since ARs were uncommon then. Then, decades later, the AG decides to actually enforce a long-ignored caveat that guns 'similar to' the banned ones were also to be banned, and now every semi-auto there is is on the chopping block

That's the secondary problem, legispotators many years later using existing rulings, laws etc. and ''saying'' it means something other than intended.

I don't have a problem with you owning a transferable machine gun and if I could justify the money I would own one myself. The problem I have is with thugs running around the streets with them such as was the case during Prohibition, and was the reason for restricting them in the first place. The ban in 86 further restricted them and its now almost unheard of for a registered machine gun to be used in a crime, and that is a good thing. I don't want to go back to the 20's when people could buy a thompson and explosives out of the sears catalog, just the same as I'm glad they can't dump DDT in the river anymore. We can all wish we lived in a utopia where everybody can do what they want, but the gangsters taught us full auto weapons were not a good idea for the general public, Timothy McVeigh taught us we can't let people buy truckloads of ammonium nitrate for no reason, and we need speed limits and laws against drunk driving because people will kill themselves and your family. Like it or not thats the way it works. I don't want you to give up any of your guns. Not a single one. I won't give up mine either.

You need to spend a little more time studying history, come to an understanding of why the NFA was really created. It was not because the streets were red with blood from all the wanton violence with machine guns and shortened long arms. Remember, NFA originally banned all concealable firearms, but handguns were struck at the last minute to push it through.

The violence of the roaring 20s was criminal on criminal, with LE casualties when they got in the way. The general public was not targeted and really not affected by it.

NFA was about keeping federal agents on the dole, and giving the feds a way to pursue the bootleggers who could no longer be arrested on charges relating to alcohol.

I am also a mechanical engineer

Well, that explains the opinions based in theory rather than reality. I don't give one's musings extra credence based on degrees held, especially when it's offered pretentiously from a member of a group who routinely design parts with nearly impossible features and ridiculous tolerances to be made at an unfathomable price point, then put that part in a place which will expedite it’s failure whilst making it extremely difficult to replace.
