I'm going to side with the ATF here, they properly followed their guidelines and the NRA is dead WRONG in their wanting the accessory regulated.

“The notion that ATF chose not to regulate an item it had the authority to regulate is false. The law is very clear and it does not currently allow ATF to regulate such accessories,” Bouchard added.

Wimps.

Not being authorized by law didn't stop the EPA when they wanted to regulate carbon dioxide emissions.

The NRA isn’t wanting it regulated to appease the anti-gunners so much as a bargaining chip to get national reciprocity and/or the Hearing Protection Act approved.

On this one issue, the BATFE followed the law to the letter. As mentioned, bump-fire stocks were purposely engineered to fall on this side of the 1934 NFA.

Those complaining about it make as much sense as those who complain about a driver going 69 MPH in a 70 MPH zone - they are complaining about those who OBEY THE LAW.

As for the NRA, they have neither the guts nor the sense to be on the right side of this issue. It isn’t about bump-fire stocks - it is about whether an inanimate object causes crime. I thought that this had been settled when the NRA actually did the right thing by stopping the renewal of Clinton’s AWB. Next, after bump-fire stocks are gone (or regulated under the NFA), the gun-grabbers WILL be coming after normal-capacity magazines and semi-autos...so we’ll be right back where we were in 1994-2004.

Our only hope is that the Dems/gun-grabbers over-reach. They appear to be starting the process, by tacking on a 3-day waiting period for handguns (which played exactly no role in the Las Vegas massacre, except possibly to shoot the purported perp (and he acquired that particular gun well before a 3-day waiting period would have stopped him from using it there).

All laws regulating firearms are unconstitutional.

Fine. Kick it to ATF. I'll give up my bump stocks, but here is what should happen in return FIRST (a modest proposal) :

1) Repeal of 18 USC 922 (o) so we can become the premier firearm innovator and manufacturer in the world...not in Dusseldorf or Belgium.
2) NFA amnesty immediately until Trump or next POTUS closes the amnesty. This will allow us to get the Registry at ATF correct (and allow us to Form 1 or 2 LOTS of NFA items)....plus veterans amnesty for bring backs.
3) Increase NFA tax to $1000.00 instead of 200, but you have to removed SBS, AOW, SBR, and suppressors. You Democrats LOVE raising taxes, right?
4) and THEN, and only then we'll register our bump stocks as an AOW.

.....but not before a repeal of Chapter 4 of the GCA....and eventually the NFA of 34, and entire GCA, FOPA 86 laws. They ARE unconstitutional.
