If you possess a bump stock after March 2019, you will be breaking the law.

The regulation, which was signed by Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker on Tuesday morning, will go into effect 90 days after it is formally published in the Federal Register, which is expected to happen on Friday, the Justice Department official said.

People who own bump stocks will be required to either surrender them to the ATF or destroy them by late March, the official said. The change has undergone a legal review and the Justice Department and ATF are ready to fight any legal challenge that may be brought, the official added.

They should be regulated as a class III weapon.

What is the purpose of a bump stock? Why would anyone choose to have one?


I’m not commenting on the legislation or the implications. Just genuinely curious why people would even have it.

Not guns.

Modifications to guns that do nothing but increase the rate of fire so as to abrogate the prohibition on automatic weapons.

There’s a pretty common sense difference.

Woah now!

We get to pick and choose what is illegal now.

If breaking immigration laws isn't illegal, why is this?

My buddy the gun nut told me that it's easy to make your own bump stock. If you don't have to purchase one it will be hard to catch people.

There are limits to every right.

The government has already infringed on gun rights a great deal. You cannot own automatic weapons produced after a certain time, machine guns, etc. You also cannot own a 16’ naval gun or a trident missile.

This is no different than any of that. The stocks allow the weapon to ostensibly fire automatically, or at an accelerated rated of fire. Those things are already illegal.

You aren’t even trying to have discussion.

Clearly not.

The prohibition of bump stocks isn’t doing anything to your rights. It’s reclassifying an accessory whose only purpose is to abrogate existing law.

Having used one on the range, it's fun.

Does there really need to be another reason?
