The final rule clarifies that the definition of ?machinegun? in the Gun Control Act (GCA) and National Firearms Act (NFA) includes bump-stock-type devices, i.e., devices that allow a semiautomatic firearm to shoot more than one shot with a single pull of the trigger by harnessing the recoil energy of the semiautomatic firearm to which it is affixed so that the trigger resets and continues firing without additional physical manipulation of the trigger by the shooter.
Just more designs on our freedom to defend ourselves. Is 3D printer software for these illegal too? You know, just in case space aliens do kill all our masters...
I'm gonna go out on limb and say non-compliance will be widespread.
NPR reports...
ATF estimates that the number of bump stocks held by the public ranges from about 280,000 to 520,000.
The bureau could not say how many devices have been turned over so far. An ATF spokeswoman said ?abandonments solely to ATF is not an accurate measure? because other law enforcement agencies may also accept such devices at the state or local level.
AND DON'T FORGET...
Those who believe they know someone who has illegally kept a bump stock can file a complaint with ATF. Fleming said the ban will be enforced just like any machine gun violation.
And as the world turns, they'll be replacing "bump stock" with many other words such as assault rifle, JHP ammo, 30rd magazines, bullet proof vests, etc. You'll see.
If you join the FPF I believe you are exempt from the ban by court order. Update in the lawsuit.
But I have an ATF letter saying they are legal... and I stopped paying attention to the news years ago when it turned into tabloid garbage.
^ valid defense?

Supreme Court rejects challenge to ban on gun 'bump stocks'

WASHINGTON, March 2 (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday rebuffed a bid by gun rights advocates to overturn President Donald Trump's ban on "bump stocks" - devices that enable semi-automatic weapons to fire rapidly like a machine gun - implemented after the 2017 Las Vegas mass shooting.
The justices left in place a lower court's decision that upheld the Trump administration's action to define bump stocks as prohibited machine guns under U.S. law.
The ban, which went into effect in March 2019, was embraced by Trump following a massacre that killed 58 people at a music festival in Las Vegas in which the gunman used bump stocks. It represented a rare recent instance of gun control at the federal level in a country that has experienced a series of mass shootings.
Numerous gun control proposals have been thwarted in the U.S. Congress, largely because of opposition by Republican lawmakers and the influential National Rifle Association gun rights lobby.
The Firearms Policy Foundation, a gun rights group, and other plaintiffs sued in federal court to try to reverse Trump's action. The Supreme Court last year refused to block the ban from going into effect while the legal challenges against it were considered in the courts. The justices also refused to temporarily exempt from the plaintiffs in the case from the ban.
Bump stocks use a gun's recoil to bump its trigger, enabling a semiautomatic weapon to fire hundreds of rounds per minute, which can transform it into a machine gun. The ban required owners to turn in or destroy the attachments and those caught in possession of them could face up to 10 years in prison.
The Las Vegas gunman, Stephen Paddock, was found to have fired more than 1,100 rounds of ammunition in about 11 minutes, employing semi-automatic rifles modified with bump stocks.
The plaintiffs challenged a new rule issued by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives at Trump's direction that classified bump stock devices as forbidden machine guns under the 1934 National Firearms Act.
A federal court refused to issue an injunction against the ban, saying the plaintiffs would likely lose the case. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit upheld that decision, deferring to the bureau's new interpretation of the National Firearms Act.
Justice Neil Gorsuch, a conservative member of the court appointed by Trump, issued a statement agreeing with the decision to deny the appeal. But he criticized the lower court's deference to a federal agency - the bureau - that had changed its interpretation of a longstanding law.
"How, in all this, can ordinary citizens be expected to keep up?" Gorsuch asked, adding that the bump stock dispute may return to the Supreme Court at a later date.
The Supreme Court in December heard arguments in the first major gun dispute to come before the justices since 2010 - a challenge backed by the NRA to a handgun transport restriction in New York City.
