      Here is the new rule DOJ is announcing today which reclassifies bump fire stock as machineguns under the National Firearms Act. That will effectively ban them and require anyone who currently owns them to either dispose of them or be subject to charges. https://freebeacon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Bump-Stock-Final-Rule.pdf …

      DOJ apparently briefed some reporters about the new bump fire stock ban. I wasn't one of them. Here's Buzzfeed's report:https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/dominicholden/trump-bans-bump-stocks-rule …

      The NRA hasn't released any statement on the final rule ordering the banning the possession of bump fire stocks but I'll let you know if they do.

      I have to point out that it's not true. That isn't how bump fire stocks work. You have to actuate the trigger for each shot fired. So, they're basically just saying bump fire stocks do something they clearly don't do.

      Additionally, regardless of how you feel about bump fire stocks, the mechanism for outlawing the devices is what gun rights activists have long considered confiscation. There is no grandfathering. Possession will become completely illegal 90 days after the rule goes into effect.

          Here is how federal law defines a machinegun: "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."

          It's pretty straightforward. If it can fire more than one shot per trigger pull it is a machinegun. Otherwise, it is not. Bump fire requires a trigger pull for each shot fired.

          They expect the rule to go into effect on March 21st. So, that's the date it will become illegal for anyone to possess a bump fire stock.

          NRA tells me they're disappointed with how the DOJ's bump stock ban targets current owners. The gun rights group had called for current owners to be able to register their legally-purchased stocks.pic.twitter.com/NGMPYUldgO

          Confiscation and criminalization by executive fiat is more dangerous than a billion bump stocks.

          Or registration remedy. I think bump stocks are stupid toys of little to no self-defense value, and any martial value is highly suspect. But it should be legislation not regulation.

          This means all semis are now machine guns fyi because bump fire can easily be done with the trigger finger
