I think you're overestimating hugely the number of people who care. A bump stock isn't remotely a 2A issue to me. Hell, I could even see calling it a safety issue as dumb as they are You'd have a much better argument for full autos being covered by it.
I live in Florida. They banned bump stocks after the latest school shooting here. Effective in October of this year. I had one. Used it once and took it off my gun. Inaccurate ammo eater. However. I paid $80 for mine a couple years ago. After they published that the Vegas shooter had them on some of his guns I knew they would go after them. Sure enough the fed's said they were going to try to outlaw them. Prices went crazy. They were going for $1000 on Gunbroker. So I advertised mine. Sold it for $450 locally. People are stupid.
It absolutely matters because it whittles away at your rights, which is actually how we lose most of them. And this right here is an example of why you should care. It gives them something else to charge you with (leverage). And the convenient logic above (why would you need one anyway since we've already taken away your ability to have enough ammo to use it) is the route to the next item they restrict or outlaw. Financial institutions are currently being extorted and regulated into not financing companies that manufacture or sell guns and ammo. Insurance companies and the medical professions are being similarly bullied and regulated. Piece by piece, your right to defend yourself is being whittled away. First, they came for my neighbor's bumpstock and I didn't care... You know the sentiment. This is no different.
I don't give a flying rats ass about bump stocks. I've been bump firing since most peeps were knee high to a duck, didn't need a device to do it. I don't see this as an infringment of rights, or whittling away at the gun supporters. It takes away nothing useful. Besides, if you want full auto you just need a string and a loop. [fair warning, the ATF has classified the above string and loop as a full auto weapon. Have that string and loop sitting next to a gun and you can be charged, seriously]
Bump stocks aren't arms, they are accessories. Very piss poor accessories. This can be seen as an olive branch to the moronic left, ban a useless piece of garbage - BFD. The fact that these assholes didn't get gun mufflers removed from the NFA is something to be pissed about, not banning lame-assed bump stocks.

They’re right. The new regulation is unconstitutional in two ways: First, by requiring an uncompensated surrender of the devices (which were legal when purchased), the regulation violates either the Takings Clause or the Due Process Clause, or both. The government can’t just take your lawfully-owned stuff. Second, and more importantly, it violates separation of powers. An agency like the ATF can interpret statutes which it is assigned to administer, but cannot contradict the text of those statutes, to do so would be to amend the law, which only Congress may do. The term “machinegun” means any weapon which shoots, is designed to shoot, or can be readily restored to shoot, automatically more than one shot, without manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger. —26 U.S.C. 5845(b) A semiautomatic is mechanically incapable of firing more than once per trigger pull.
The left doesn't accept olive branches. An olive branch signifies cessation of hostility, which they ain't about to agree to. An olive branch is also something offered by the victor to the loser, which they aren't about to accept.
Bianary Triggers?? is two per pull...and they have been totally researched and have been accepted as legal.
The other issue, which nobody is talking about, is a 3 letter unelected agency making law. Sure they call it "rule making" but the jail they send you to for breaking it looks just like any other jail.
