The last I read, bump stocks were suppose to be re-classified. With this news Slide Fire Technologies closed.

However, I haven't seen anything recently regarding any of it. Was the stocks officially federally re-classified? I know some states did their own thing.

The ATF comment period is still open. You can comment through June 27.

I'm still collecting items to put into a response. They're attempting to rewrite a whole bunch of laws with this regulation. It needs to be stopped. Duh.

The company that makes them was forced to close because no company would insure them. I'm very curious to see the implications of that for other companies.

I wouldn’t buy stock in any such company (NPI, seriously).

I was never a bump stock fan but it seems really wrong and sad that all of a sudden the Government can shut down a business purely on peer emotional pressure and not facts. +

I agree with this... sad to see the government ruin somebody’s livelihood. I’ve always thought bump stocks were gimmicky and silly, but they are just a piece of plastic so the government should leave them alone....

Did the government shut them down, or was it due to lack of companies willing to insure them as mentioned above?

A buddy of mine bought a couple (different brands) but has never used them ... I think he got the itch after shooting my M16.

After the Las Vegas shooting he took them to another buddy of mine that has a small shop ... They sat on his counter priced $400 & $450; they attracted attention but after 5-6 months they still hadn't sold so when we stopped in a few weeks ago he said we might as well try them out so he brought them back home ... we haven't gotten around to it yet.

dirt shooters.

Banned in mass.
AG sent a letter out demanding the turn in or destruction.

Today, the target is bump stocks; tomorrow, what will be the feature of super-deadly assaulty weapons that attracts legislation?

I have zero interest in bump stocks. I'd rather focus on actual marksmanship, but any ban of an accoutrement is bad news.

What will the ATF do about this guy bumping his pistol ...
