Abstract: This is the second part of a two part work in which we prove that for every finitely generated subgroup $Gamma<mathsfOut(F_n)$, either $Gamma$ is virtually abelian or its second bounded cohomology $H_b^2(Gamma;mathbbR)$ contains an embedding of $el{l}^1$. Here in Part II we focus on finite lamination subgroups $Gamma$ --- meaning that the set of all attracting laminations of elements of $Gamma$ is finite --- and on the construction of hyperbolic actions of those subgroups to which the general theory of Part I is applicable.
