DOJ / ATF moves on Bump Stocks = Machine Guns

[crays]

SUMMARY:
..... because such devices allow a shooter of a semiautomatic firearm to initiate a continuous firing cycle with a single pull of the trigger. Specifically, these devices convert an otherwise semiautomatic firearm into a machinegun by functioning as a self-acting or self-regulating mechanism that harnesses the recoil energy of the semiautomatic firearm in a manner that allows the trigger to reset and continue firing without additional physical manipulation of the trigger by the shooter. Hence, a semiautomatic firearm to which a bump-stock-type device is attached is able to produce automatic fire with a single pull of the trigger......

Total BS

So I guess they believe that once you pull the trigger that first time, you just have to hang on and wait until you are out of ammunition to cease firing? How F'n stupid are all these people?

Consequently, current possessors of these devices would be required to surrender them, destroy them, or otherwise render them permanently inoperable upon the effective date of the final rule.

And so now, law abiding citizens are force to forfeit/destroy legally acquired personal property, with no just compensation, at the whim of the gov?
